VI: Blinding Lights

Note:

Before anything else I'd like to say that this chapter will most probably trigger some people.

But I don't really care much for that. Readers discretion na lang tayo ah. Di naman kita pinilit na magbasa nito.

I don't understand why SO MANY graphic editors used too saturated colors for their works. I mean, ok di naman ako pro pero sa totoo lang kasi medyo masakit na siya sa mata.

Why would you pump-up all the reds,  all the yellows, all the magentas in your work?  Kahit ang shadows niya oversaturated at overexposed din.

Tapos ang lakas ng loob tawagin na pastel ang ginawa eh nakakabulag na ang color temperature at highlights mo. Like duuuhhh 'di mo ba alam na pastel ay "combination of pale or light colors that lacks body and vigor"?

Also I don't get it why you put solid straight glowing lines on ppls faces even if it doesn't even match the lighting laws and the actual fcking concept?  Y? 

I know it's kinda trendy that editors put the glowy stuffs for neon covers but why would you doodle all those white lines in all the wrong places? Are you in a daycare center doodling on the wall?

Personally I refuse to be influenced by these "styles" if that is what you call it. Unless the prompt or your graphic costumer specified that they want a color scheme that can actually damage someone's retina, overexposed EVERYTHING is not ok.

Ok put your glowy text and put some glowy overlays. That I could understand at some point. Pero yung maglagay ka ng isang solid na linya na kumikinang sa gitna ng mukha ng tao,  'bat mo ba ginagawa yun?  'Bat ba kayo naaaliw sa ganyan? Tapos paslakan mo pa ng blush na parang isang malaking napkin na tinapal sa mukha ng portrayer mo niceeeeesuuee! Tapos dagdagan mo ng nakakabulag ng pink, yellow, orange at red na bubbles kahit walang kinalaman sa lahat-lahat sa nakalagay sa cover mo. WAO!

May iba siguro na nakikisunod lang sa uso kahit 'di naman nila naiintindihan 'yong pinaglalagay diyan yaan mo na kasi lahat naman sila ganyan din. Pero may iba siguro talaga na paniniwala at pananalig na nila na visually pleasing ang nakakabulag na graphics well sino ba naman ako para basagin ang paniniwalang 'yon.

Tapos paki-usap stop using the "aesthetic" word for works that you just want too slap in random stuff on it. Kasi nga 'di ba relating to art and beauty at pleasing to the senses siya. Wag mo naman babuyin at lagyan ng bubbles ang harap ng tindahan at tawaging "aesthetic" na yun.

Hindi mo kailangan maging super genius at kasing galing ni Da Vinci at Michael Angelo para ma-realize na hindi art ang tinapal mo diyan kundi ARTE.

Kung natamaan ka edi ayos at least nagising ka na kailangan mo pala babaan ang exposure at saturation mo.

Again hindi ako expert, pro, o senpai. Pero I know enough to say that kiddo you need to tone it a bit down. Like srly you really need to.

I'd rather not have a debate battle in my comment section so if you want to bash for speaking the ugly truth, pm me. Ayaw mo naman siguro makita ng lahat na tinamaan ka talaga. Pwede rin you take it this a friendly advice or a challenge for growth. It's all up to you.

Love,
