Looking for first rate graphics?

Hello...
EpicPixel is looking to expand it's iPhone application UI portfolio.

All the best on your applications!!
David Forgash

My partner and I have only started Epicpixel.net a couple of months ago. Our workload is such that business cards still need to get to the printer! I posted the one example of both icon and site work (Stanford+TCD) for people to see. You could go to http://4gash.com or http://strandeddesign.com for other examples. If you require anything further please contact me and I'll be better able to find a solution.
Thank you,

  • Looking for a better graphic card. Need feedback and suggestion

    I'm looking to get a different graphic card but I'm not sure really what to buy,
    These are my computer specs 
    Computer: Gateway Gt5228 Media center edition
    OS: Windows Xp
     Current graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI Express Slot avaliable
    I was wondering what would be a good graphic card that is a good significant upgrade.  I'm looking for one that has a significant increase over what I have right now, it doesn't necessarily have to be the best out there.
    I want to be able to play a game call Diablo 3 
    These are the High and low Performance, that the game will run with.

    Which ones can i use with my computer but without the need to buy nothing else. 
    thank you

    Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.

  • Im writing a candidate and im looking for a complete graphic-list of all the IPHONE's ICONS (whithout downloading/paying the SDK))

    Hi!
    Im writing a candidate exam about how icons could help out a certain application in a smartphone format.
    I would love to have an overview of the IPHONE/IPAD ICONS that are used in the iOs 5.1 or earlier.
    I would assume i could find them in the SDK but i cant log in and dont want to pay 99$ for just an overview of these icons

    Thanks for the reply...
    And to clear out the symbols/icons requests.
    This is something im looking for - only official :
    When you mention:
    "Apple has guidelines and agreements covering use of their icons/IP."
    Of course they have, im just thinking it cant be illegal to evaluate and test these icons.
    As i cant access the SDK, do you know where the guidelines may exist?

  • Looking for recommendation on graphics card for MSI H67MA-E45 board

    This board doesnt have an adjacent psi-e slot, so any card that requires that is out right ?
    So the HD 5770 is out ?
    Any suggestions ,looking for something at least as good as a GTS 250.But not looking to break my budget either.Would like ,but dont need dx 11support
    Thanks for any help .

    Some of these cards list as- Required Peripheral / Interface Device- CD-ROM, adjacent PCI slot...
    So all that means is it needs the space an extra slot would take up ,not the actual slot ?Thats seems a very confusing way to say that.

  • Looking for a good graphics card for World of Warcraft

    I've been looking around these forums and it seems like the consensus is to go with the ATI HD 4870. I'm more a fan of NVidia, but if it works it works.
    I have a first gen mac pro and just want to confirm that the ATI card will work on my machine. Right now I'm still using the stock (6800?) card and WoW doesn't look all that great at it's optimal settings on a 1900x1200 display - I'd like to maximize the settings as much as possible.
    I am completely open to any other suggestions though. On the side I do some graphical work with Maya and Photoshop so any new card should certainly help out with those as well.
    Thanks,
    Adam Lawton

    To this list I would add:
    Radeon 2600XT
    Nvidia 8800GT EFI32 version
    You must purchase the Mac Pro version of these. With the 8800GT, it needs to be the EFI32 version for 2006/07 Mac Pro.
    Sadly, neither the 2600 not the 8800 are easily available new. (at a reasonable price) EBay or your local Craigslist (in big city)

  • Looking for a new graphics card.

    Before I post my specs; I cannot get a new power supply for a while, I ONLY want to explore gfx card options, I already know my choices will be limited so I would like those few choices to be listed because I'm not entirely sure if I can find the right one to buy, help would be greatly appreciated.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01616203&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u​...
    Everything you need to know, I will continue to look around, any suggestions would be great.

    As I pointed out on another thread, shopping for something that you don't plan on buying for a while isn't worth while because prices, and models change constantly in the computer parts field.
    A good PSU brand : ThermalTake, Corsair, Antec, to name the first three on my mind
    Graphics: PNY, ASUS, Zotac, EVGA
    For your case, i'd shoot for a 400-550watt psu, and then hopefully by the time you have enough saved up, shoot for a GTX 430. Solid card, good performance, lower price.

  • Looking for a new graphics card for new display

    I recently purchased a 24" LCD monitor to increase my screen real estate. I was anticipating using the DVI connection on the monitor, but found out that the connection I have on the PM G4 Dual 1GHz is an ADC connector instead. Presently I'm using it in analog mode which works fine, but in anticipation of Leopard, I was planning on upgrading my video card (GeForce 4 MX, 64MB VRAM) with one that will support CoreImage, as this one doesn't. In addition, this monitor can pivot to 90 degrees in a portrait orientation, and I would like a card that supports this feature as well.
    I tried my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with its ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 card, and find it supports CoreImage as well as screen rotation--just what I was hoping for. It works like a charm with the new display. I just need to find out what 4x AGP desktop cards support these features. Any suggestions? I appreciate your input.

  • I am looking for a new graphics card to help with my 1.5GB files in InDesign.

    I am getting "Out of memory " indications as my files gets to the maximum number of pages in my magazine. I am guessing that I need a larger capacity graphics card to help during the construction of the magazine. Any thoughts?

    I have a Lenovo desktop with win8 and 16GB memory. I have an upgraded graphics card with 2GB memory. I am using CS6. My free drive space is in the 300GB range. I keep all data off line on a 1TB Buffalo drive. I am producing a 52 page color magazine that is filled with graphics and ads (40%). I rarely import graphics files and normally always link them. As I am moving around my file sometimes processing is slow. I have turned off the pre-flight and only use it when I am ready to go to the printer. That helps. I wopuld like to get back to sub-second response time and thought a better performing graphics card would help.
    Mike.

  • IPhoto user looking for a bit more editing ability

    I love iPhoto but I wish I could extract parts of pictures to go on other pics. Then I use a cloning tool to fix. I can't stand Adobe Elements is their any other program out their that people are using for this kind of editing. Aperture?

    matbran
    I don't think that Aperture is what you're looking for. Try Graphic Convertor

    or try searching on http://www.macupdate.com using 'image editor'.

  • How's this for a first attempt? Looking for feedback.

    I previously created a database in MS Excel for my Son's business.  It was "normalized" with lots of Application.Vlookup... commands building Listviews.  Everything was working fine until I upgraded my Office 2003 to Office 2010. 
    Since I got the 64-bit version of Office I can no longer use Treeview or Listview controls in Office forms.  Office will not allow both versions to be on the same computer.  So, I figured I'd convert the whole thing over to VB.NET.
    Anyway, I'm part of the way done with converting ONE of my userforms to VB.Net and I wanted to see if I was headed in the write direction or if I am moving toward a train wreck.
    I started with the Customers form because the table it connects too doesn't have any foreign keys.  The difficulties I ran into along the way were:
    trying to learn how to navigate through a dataset (used to be easy with the Recordset)
    Virtually all the references I found teach you to use the Wizard to connect to a database then drop it into a grid control.
    trying to populate the treeview control without being able to use "Keys".  This was an incredible nightmare.
    There were many other small hurdles along the way
    Oddly enough one of the most helpful books I found was for learning VB.NET 2005.  It was old enough so that the author made comparisons of .NET to VB6, highlighting the functionality lost with .NET.  Don't get me wrong, he wasn't bashing .NET but
    his book was where I discovered that the Treeview no longer uses "Keys".  I'm dreading the Listview struggle yet to come. </End Whining>
    Here is the form.  As it stands right now, the treeview on the left gets populated, when the user clicks on a node, the textboxes on the right are populated.
    Below is the Code I've written so far.

    Previously I could populate the treeview in whatever random order the records were in the table.  With the new treeview I had to devise a way to add, Letters, First Names, and Full Names all in sorted order.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Thanks :).
    This is essentially a "local" database as only one person will access it at a time.  We are placing the file in an area where it can accessed from more than one computer, but never more than one at a time.
    To be honest I would use SQL Express (mainly to bring myself into the 21st century) if I wasn't already finding VB.NET so frustrating.
    Ken,
    I thought that I’d "give you a taste" of this alternate. It’s a long route, but you might want to consider it because
    everything you do is very much tailored to what you want it to do. As it stands right now, it’s very simple - too much so - but this might give you food for thought.
    If you want to pursue it, I’m happy to help.
    I set up the beginnings of a namespace that I’m calling “Ken”. The main class in that namespace is a class named “CustomerInfo”.
    It needs a LOT of embellishing, including the ability to disallow duplicate entries (we’d need to discuss just how it should detect a duplicate entry – it’s not as straightforward as you might think) and other things, but it’s a start and it’ll do ok for this
    example.
    Before I get started here, I have the project folder zipped up and uploaded for you. I hope you’ll download it and take a look
    at the code that it’s that namespace.
    I have that
    uploaded
    to my website here.
    You’ll see that it’s about 700 lines of code so far and I’d venture to say that by the time we finished, it would be many THOUSANDS
    of lines of code. I bring this up because I want to emphasize that it’s a lot of work - but - it would be all customized to do what you want and it would be reusable by simply adding the namespace into another program.
    All of this is based around your screenshot from a few days ago:
    I only have, so far, the ability to “Add” via a method in the main class named “AddNewCustomer” which is overloaded; that is,
    there are several implementations of it, varying in the parameters used. I’ll demonstrate some of them in the examples that follow shortly.
    When you open the project in Visual Studio you’ll be asked to convert it because I use a much older version than you have. Just
    follow the prompts and it should convert fine. Once that’s done, it should open to the code view of Form1:
    Option Strict On
    Option Explicit On
    Option Infer Off
    Public Class Form1
    Private customerList As New List(Of Ken.CustomerInfo)
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles MyBase.Load
    ' Example01()
    ' Example02()
    ' Example03()
    ' Example04()
    ' Example05a()
    ' Example05b()
    ' Example05c()
    Stop
    End Sub
    End Class
    Hey, where are those subs??
    Actually I broke Form1 apart so that I could show you the start of it above, and I have the subs mentioned in a Partial Class
    Form1 (partial just means that it will compile as all one). I’ll step through each sub below and explain what it’s demonstrating:
    I have the “Address” set up somewhat special. I have it so that you can’t have a second address line unless there’s a first
    line and you can’t have a third address line unless there’s both a first AND a second line. I think you agree with that thinking?
    Example01 is a demonstration of just one single line for the address:
    Private Sub Example01()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example01")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Notice above that the parameters for the sub give you an idea about how it’s set up. This includes the use of an Enum (enumerator)
    for the country. This may or may not be a good idea, it really just depends on how many countries there could be. I have it currently set up with just three countries. I also have it set up for what I’m regarding “minimum required” – you’ll notice that there’s
    no place for the customer’s e-mail address or a comment. They are there though – set up as options (and I’ll demonstrate that in a bit also).
    Give thought about the countries to include, in particular questions about what the minimum required needs to be.
    For example, currently it REQUIRES a postal code. Do all of the countries you’ll be dealing with always have that? Further,
    the phone number MUST be ten (exactly ten) digits. For other countries maybe it should include the country code? Maybe some of them aren’t digits? I don’t know – but certainly you need to know this even if you stick with the database route.
    At any rate I had to start with some assumptions so that’s what I used.
    Example 2, below, shows using two lines for the address:
    Private Sub Example02()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    "Building 'E'", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example02")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Example 3, below, shows using three lines for the address:
    Private Sub Example03()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    "Building 'E'", _
    "Suite 4", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example03")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    If you’re wondering about how all of those textual outputs shown in the MessageBox got formatted like that, look through the
    code of the namespace. Any “work” like that which the class can do, the class
    should
    do – that way it’s replicated when you reuse the class and it’s code that your form’s code doesn’t have to perform.
    Example 4, below, shows adding a comment BUT skipping the option for the e-mail:
    Private Sub Example04()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347", _
    comments:="Customer pays slowly - be careful with credit!")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example04")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Note the use of “comments:=”
    in the code above. That’s a very handy way of selecting the options that you want and leaving the other options as they default to (all options have to have a default).
    Example 5a, below, shows what happens if the e-mail is used but it’s malformed:
    Private Sub Example05a()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347", _
    "someone.com@somewhere")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example05a")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    I am a strong advocate of data validation – on any and all levels that it can be done. Look at the code in the namespace to
    see how it was able to detect that what was entered wasn’t in correct format.
    Example 5b, below, shows entering the e-mail correctly:
    Private Sub Example05b()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347", _
    "[email protected]")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example05b")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Lastly, example 5c, below, shows entering both a comment and an e-mail address:
    Private Sub Example05c()
    Try
    Ken.CustomerInfo.AddNewCustomer(customerList, _
    "ABC Hardware Company", _
    "123 Main Street", _
    Ken.CountryName.USA, _
    "Charleston", _
    "South Carolina", _
    "29412", _
    "8138992347", _
    "[email protected]", _
    "Customer pays slowly - be careful with credit!")
    MessageBox.Show(customerList(0).ToString, _
    "Example05c")
    Stop
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show("An exception was thrown:" & _
    vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.Message, _
    "Program Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Try it out. Download the project folder, let VS convert it and run it. Try entering something invalid in, for example, characters
    in the phone number, things like that. It needs a lot of improvement, but this might give you an idea of what I mean by “customized to what you want it to be”.
    For instance, your TreeView – have one or more methods in the class to build that and hand you (the consumer of the class) back
    the data to use to be able to quickly generate the TreeView showing anything you want it to show, any way you want it to show it.
    That’s the power of all of this.
    Also do know that “database or classes” isn’t accurate; they’re not mutually exclusive and in fact, most really involved programs
    which use a database back-end have many classes right along with it.
    Food for thought and I hope you found this helpful. :)
    Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

  • Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet

    Hello folks,
    I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
    I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
    At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
    I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
    I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
    I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
    So just a sum up:
    I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
    MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
    I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...
