That doesn't make a single ounce of difference, would you tell your child not to enter his/her work into an art competition because you yourself find it awful? No. He posted it on here, in hope of some constructive critisism. Not to be put down as if he shouldn't even try.

Everyone starts somewhere, and to block this person from wanting to pursue further in learning, is just bullying.

It DOES make an ounce of difference - of course it does! The avenue in which you showcase your work makes a huge amount of difference to the response you're going to get. I agree that constructive criticism would have been better, and my comment was a light hearted one designed to provoke humour and not berate the original poster. Indeed, I agree that some posters have been unnecessarily harsh in their comments, but I still stand by my point that using the analogy of a child's artwork isn't a fair one, even if I do accept the point you're trying to make with it.

Added to which, no one has blocked him from persuing further learning - as you can see, he's updated the image using some of the suggestions given by posters.

I take your point, but I fear we will have to agree to disagree.  At any rate, it's probably best not to get into a discussion about the usage of an analogy when we both agree on the point in hand that constructive criticism is better than simply saying that you dislike a piece  :)

No.

A child, who tries to draw, has just had their first set of try's at doing so, and as time goes on, as they grow, their skill improves. Digital artwork doesn't just immediate, nor progress from being a child. As so, he's learning from the start (as everyone does).

It makes perfect sense, and applies absolutley fine to the subject in hand.

no, it's different.

with a young child, they dont know how to take the criticism right. if you tell them it isnt that good, they'll start crying and getting really upset.

as you can see, the author of this thread has USED our criticism to improve his work, rather than throwing a tantrum.

it is not a valid analogy.

I'd love to back you up, but I think you're misunderstanding the sentiments behind what he's saying.

A dawn is breaking,

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Just reminded me of that.

You can make it better if you used a light (white) color font, and centered the text.

Also I agree with the other person that the n5 logo looks too 'cut out & blended'.

You mean there's critisism in this thread?

Looks for critisism

I don't recommend blue on red, or huge lens flare effects either for that matter ;)

Blue vs red happen to be complementary colors so they can interfer quite a bit on each others. Anyway, at least you made a black glow effect around it, so it's not hurting your eyes as much as it could be. ;) I think it's best if you had chosen e.g. light blue instead of dark red though, to match with the sky color better. And a lighter glow. Just my 2 cents :)

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
