Hey guys, I'm Russ...

I do designing.

:P

Because my images cause a mass overload on the forum, I've posted the majority of my portfolio to My Gallery, for easier viewing.

 

Album: RussJericho23's Gallery

I also have a Facebook page:

I know what dimensions they are. TOO BIG. They look nice but how about using your photoshop to resize them to the Arena standard of 500 wide so the page can properly load next time.

[Mishey22]

They don't seem too big to me..

I like them. Great job!

I downloaded the originals,resized them and uploaded
them to my photo bucket and reposted them. They were so big it choked the page from loading smoothly.

Did they ever.

[CoyoteQ]

Did they ever.

So you saw those originals too? Lol

Yup.

To its credit, though, you could see the stitching on the numbers. Nice detailing Russ did on it.

Great job Q, taking away from the detail....

I'm not trying to be difficult, but most of my pieces are rarely under 500 x 200 these days. The days where signatures were "cool" are long gone. We live in a world of HD and these jersey backs, like the majority of my work, are exactly that.

I spent a lot of time working on the stitching and embroidery effects and at their new sizes, they look like shit.

However, what I will do in future, is add the Spoiler tags or a link to the full-size image before them, so if people want to see them, they do so at their own risk.

Haha. :P

I am sorry for this issue but they did really jam up the page. They really look nice though and posting them here at 500 width and then adding a link to the full sized would work best in the future.

I understand.

However, I think we've found a win-win situation.

My next question would be, How would I go about having a topic to use as a gallery for my work? Can I create a separate topic for that, or would I have to edit my OP and have the title changed?

I'll add spoiler tags for those, if I may?

[CoyoteQ]

I would just keep using this thread I suppose. If you can't change the title to it I can. Just let me know what you would like it named if you can't change it.

[RussJericho23]

Well, I'll ask now, to save me from checking and asking later, if needed.

I'd like this topic changed from "Personalised Oilers Jersey Backs" to "RussJericho23's Gallery" and delete all posts that correspond to this request?

:)

Topic name fixed! However, any posts that don't violate Arena rules will not be deleted. You can edit your OP to state that this is a gallery and not a place to request work.

[CoyoteQ]

Ummm, yeah...spoiler thing not working. I see the images are already on fileden. How about just post a normal link so it can be loaded and viewed offsite from here. Images of that magnitude cannot be displayed here.

Do something like this:

Link
Link

And so on.

[RussJericho23]

Done.

What a hassle.

What this place needs is this function here:

EDIT:

Hmmm... I say that and there it is!

"Resized to 79% (was 765 x 721) - Click image to enlarge"

lol

Thanks man! I just don't think forums in general are coded for stuff like this. Hell, some of those images full sized are bigger than my old ass square 19 inch flat screen monitor and take longer to load than a streaming HD video. It's absurd to have posted images anywhere on the web that size. Maybe the actual master copies that you keep.

I too am in a business that involves design and hirez pictures for our customers. We shoot our hirez pics with a Canon EOS 5D Markk III at 5760x3840. You know what size we give them to the consumer? A VERY web friendly 1600x1067...and we are a multi-million dollar a year company. Our customers would have a stroke if it took more than one second to load a picture and we would end up with no customers. You also could reduce the actual file size by taking down the image quality setting in photoshop to at least 80%...the humam eye wont even detect the difference and also maybe save the web copy as a .JPEG instead of a .PNG. I'm guessing you also have originals saved as a .PSD as well? One of your 4950x3000 pics is a whopping 2.44 MB's. The pictures we offer our customers to view over the web are an "instant" loading 400ish KB's...and they are actual photographs.

This is also some coming technology that will help big time. It's a way, through some coding that is going to revolutionize hirez pictures and then GIANT dimension pictures like yours will be more web friendly. Your work is very, very good but if I may offer you some advice that will get them viewed more easily (afterall, that's what it's all about, right?)...you could focus on file size compression and finding the happy medium of high quality and user viewability.

See...It works because the original image is a sane size. lol

Haha. Glad to be of some help...

5760x3840? Now, we're talking.

Does that mean I can add the "[IMG]" tags to my stuff, after all?

If the originals are like 1200x-1600x at the most I think you should be able to.
