Well firstly, thanks for making the forum

Is there any chance that it could get a nice colourful forum title like the other ones have got

Its little black default icon makes it look totally inferior to the other course forums!





Oh, and it should really be "Higher Art and Design", not just "Art"

You're welcome

Sure, have you got any colour preferences?

Shades of blue, orange, red, and green are already pretty common. I'm sure an art student can come up with another nice colour though!

Noted

[smb]

Im still trying to think about a colour!

Could it be multicoloured??

Not over-the-toply, just a nice blend of colours?

Please? That would be soooo cool

[Dave]

or maybe art is just an inferior subject and should stay the way it is


since i am nice i would suggest either a magnolia kinda colour or something yellow anyway

[smb]

Noooo, it is a far superior subject actually. It jsut so happens taht most of the people who use hsn are nerds geeks "computer-lovers mathsy people" and they find it hard to understand the greatness of art and the need for a colourful forum title

Would magnolia be seen on that light blue background?

What font is it anyway? looks like...Miandra or whatever its called.

edit: in fact, give me a day, i want to come up with ideas. think of it as a free commission

is someone feeling bored?

[George]

The font is Adobe Cronos, and I'm not sure that beige, or some sort of rainbow, would work

I'm interested to see what you come up with

[Nathan]

Did you seriously pay £17.50 for a font?!?

[Pete]

smaller version:




I know that you said "some sort of rainbow" won't work, but these were made last week some time, and I didn't have time/was too lazy/too forgetfull to upload them. And I know they suck. Give me a break, I don't do this kind of stuff often

I just felt that a gradient would be good for an Art forum.

btw: To get the font right, I tested it existing images against a few. And that font is just Verdana...

[Nathan]

I prefer the smaller one...dunno why

but yeah, that looks pretty cool

edit...i dunno why i'm bothering to post here....i'm not even interested in art! :

WRONG!! am a 'mathsy' person, a maths student in fact....but i love art! done it all the way through school, rite up to advanced higher! maths and art were my choices for higher education...i decided maths had better career paths tho!

[smb]

Well I did say "most", not "all" so I am right

What did you get for Adv Higher? (I got my stuff back from the SQA today ) Did you apply to art college? And you're right in saying theres no real career path in art. Which is why im going to uni instead of art college despite thje fact I got in.


I'm still looking at ideas for this wee logo thingy. Its nothing v different to the other ones obviously, I'm just bored and having fun

[Paul]

I got a C for AH Art...am gona be biased and say I should have got at least a B...when the teacher gave predicted grades out, he gave me an A, so when I seen a C on my certificate, i was very disappointed!! He couldnt even appeal for me cos there was ppl worse of with D's and fails who he had to appeal for! grrr!

so wot is it ur actually gona do at uni instead of art??

Gaelic and Music Studies There is the possibility I might still go to art school but I don't know. To be honest, everything I'm interested in has pretty much no career at the end of it. Which sucks.

I'm estimated at an A band 1 in art. Not that I'm bothered what band I get, but I'm hoping for an A or a B.

Unfortunately art is my only strong subject.

[Blondie]

This thread title caught my attention when I was bored. Comment: Yeah, A&D needs a picture thingy, but not rainbowy. Your complaint earlier was that it looked inferior, if you make it all colourful and stuff, it'll shout out, "Hey we're better than you 'cause we get a flashier title!"

Why am I posting here again?

[smb]

Well art is undoubtedly better.

I said I wanted something that'd fit in with the other titles - it'd look plain stupid if it was alll glittery and I don't think Mr George would allow it anyway.

Im still thinking about this. As long as its not pink im semi happy.

[smb]

in fact, give me a day, i want to come up with ideas. think of it as a free commission

Hmmm...9 months later I'm still thinking about this and I will definiitely try to come up with something soonish - I really am determind to do this.

[smb]

I really do promise. Trust me.
