What type of pen or effect did u use to create the stroke effect surrounding the 76 FS patch?
[Reagan's response]Capt Cook:
When I received the file, I did look around for something similar to that effect. When I asked them about it though, they wanted it to be the original border. So I scanned it in, and I live-traced the layers individually. Then I tossed in the colours, and wrapped it all up for them.

I'm sure you realized that there is only one Eagle (or Viper to be politically correct) on SMSgt Shelton's pic, right? Why not have it read, 'Soar with Eagles and Thuds?' :) But must say good job to have him leaning on his rank. Thats tight, Skippy!
[Reagan's response]Yeah, we knew what we were doing when we created the scene...I guess you can say we were not expecting anyone to be obscenely OCD about it. Thanks for your second comment, Dexter!

Although ur fisheye picture isn't blended to 100% perfection how'd u get the lighting 2 look so vivid?
[Reagan's response]As for the lighting, that would be due to the HDR settings I selected. And another issue I had with it is that I had to adjust the overall lighting of the bar scene because that particular shot was darker than the three other imgs. And oddly, the dance floor looked legit when I merged the non-HDR pictures together.

I like your gif animations on yur downloads pg but i hafta ask how'd u make the crop circle animation run so smoothly?! how long did it take u 2 place each layer for each frame?
[Reagan's response]I am going to assume you are fairly new to the Adobe scene or at least for ImageReady? (I believe you can do animation in PS CS4+, but I have not tinkered with that option at all.) Anyway, I placed each layer appropriately via PS prior to my crop circles animation file, but I used the tween method in ImageReady, which is just like animating in Flash. Hopefully that will get you started and off to making superb gif creations, ceras94_0101!

As for the failed doomsday prophecies you forgot to mention these as well >> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...ns-months.html, http://www.religioustolerance.org/end_wrl2.htm, http://www.randi.org/encyclopedia/appendix3.html
And then the Top 10 list, http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-fa...hat-failed.php
[Reagan's response]Wow, I did not think to look back on how many claims there have been! It is kind of funny when you take a step back and look at the big picture!

Reagan, what font did you use for your chocolate preview, or did you go & break it apart?
[Reagan's response]If I had that much time to dismantle a font... The font used in that sample is Uptown.

Do you happen to know who actually made the quote about us taking a step back in human respect every time technology advances? I think that statement is so very true.
[Reagan's response]I am sorry, but I have no idea who coined that phrase. It was posted over here on CNN's site, and unfortunately the individual did not insert his/her name appropriately. Agreed 110% about the statement though.

What was the joke Daniel Tosh made about wearing bracelets? His statement was true, but i bet the joke makes it hella gut busting funny!
[Reagan's response]Found it from google, Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious. Take your pick on your final statement.

I read your comment about dogs respecting a person if u get to know them. If you missed it, this Chinese guy must've had a great relationship with his pet! http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.htm...rds-grave.cctv
[Reagan's response]Yeah, I saw that while at work yesterday, too. It reminded me of the U.S. Marine (if I remember correctly) whose dog did the same thing.

How do you know the world is not going to end on December 21, 2012?
[Reagan's response]Might I remind you of Y2K when all of the computers were going to be doomed because of the date function. Yet, what happened then? Also, there was that other doomsday prophecy for 21 MAY 11 (and 21 OCT 11), yet...here we are. Did we miss something?

Ironically, I visited Webster's site a few weeks ago, and I watched a clip about getting words into the dictionary. I predict your attempt with "Clickurious" will be an epic fail.
[Reagan's response]Everything is an uphill battle when it starts off, but maybe...just maybe it will hit mainstream one of these days.

Thats gotta b ubercool 2 c ur work making it's rounds through other designs & such, like ur 'Central Recruiting Squadron' patch on that guy's farewell poster.
[Reagan's response]I can say it definitely helps! And that one was designed for their shirts as well, so you can say by now it has gone well above and beyond its original scope.

Is that ur sense of sarcasm calling urself darke but having a bright and cheery ad?
[Reagan's response]Negative, there was no sarcasm involved on that note as the group name was an acronym from our names.

The metallic CPC '11 banner looks wicked cool! How'd u make that 1?
[Reagan's response]Thank you, Cajun Johnson! I looked at the work I did back in 2005 for inspiration, and basically I copied the layout from a framed picture in one of our offices. Then I used one of Giallo_1986's "Ultimate Silver Chromed Metal Layer Styles" to top it off.

@lille_weasel - Agreed, but I think if he’d added “Dirty money schemes”, and “Depends on the nutcase who made it up” those would be high rankers as well!

Good choice selections 4 ur poll but wouldve been 10x better had this choice been added
"Concepts created by ppl w/ super imaginations who really should b locked in a cell 4 the worlds safety".
That 1 would b @ 100%!
[Reagan's response]I think that goes beyond the character limit for the options, but good idea!

For your farewell pkg, I see what appears 2 be a chair & a missle underneath it? I guess the camera's in the chair?
[Reagan's response]Ha! I never thought anyone would ask or at least pay enough attention to that photo. Correct, the camera is in the chair because when I took one picture myself (with me in the reflection) I looked at it and immediately thought, "No, that is not going to work." As for the chair and missle, I did not have time to rearrange the room I was in prior to taking the shot.

Hello! I looked @ ur code 4 the donation banner, & im confused how u made it work? I see the spacer.gif which turns out to be a blank image & the css img is below that 1. (I thought it was all one pic @ 1st!)
[Reagan's response]Interesting! Well, let me see if I can help out a bit. Yes, each item is its own entity up there, and I used img map properties for a couple of them. As for the charityusabanner, I gave it the blank background for fun, but it runs the .png file via the CSS as well. That is where those img maps take part for each charity. And I also used z-index to make sure it goes behind the yellow sticky note. Does that help you out, or need I explain further?

I find it odd that ur crop cirlce shapes set is only 15 pieces, yet it's the same size as ur via the pen set that has 84 pieces!
[Reagan's response]Obviously that is due to the size of the original elements created for each file. And both are bound to expand in the future when I make more additions to each one.

I couldn't help but notice there appears to be a different patch on the "flipside" business card, but the farewell package has something else >> over on the left side. It looks like that is a busy card to me; elegant, yes, but a little busy.
[Reagan's response]Might I comment on the ever-changing ways of the USAF? The 917 W became the 307 BW, so of course I had to reflect that on the new card. And as long as the client is happy, nothing can beat that...right?

I got all excited thinking that was a pot leaf @ first but then i saw all the other donation links on that banner.
[Reagan's response]Something tells me you have either recently gotten buzzed, or you have done it a bit too much. Probably a little from "Column A" and a little from "Column B?"

those bastards at opmnetwork.net & oin.oin2+etc spammed the hell outta me 4 months on end. if I'd kept any of those emails I'd let you know which ones to ad b/c i think I got a couple more then u did!
[Reagan's response]Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to steer clear of anyone else's spam because I am not interested with it hitting my inbox/spam folder.

How'd that "unknown" person get a text from his girlfriend in the year 2016? Last time I checked it's still 2011 in my calendar!
[Reagan's response]There was an article from CNN [in 2010] about some Microsoft cell phones that had an issue with the year, and they were coming from the year 2016 instead of 2010.

I followed a link to your site from the Adobe Exchange yesterday and I was very impressed with your tribute to September 11. That was a very thoughtful piece you put together, and I am sure others would appreciate getting their hands on it.
Thank you.
[Reagan's response]Many thanks for your kind words, Martha. It was actually something I designed for work and is included in my e-folio [under Illustrator]. If anyone wants to touch the document, here it is.

Hmmm Reagan, Skippy, Reaganator, Skippinator, or whatever you wanna be called! On your Operations' farewell pic how did you get the AFRC badge to blend in so well with the background?
[Reagan's response]I have one other name that I have not mentioned here yet, so it is whatever floats your boat. (Or in this instance, flies in your sky!) I used a sky gradient that I picked up long ago from the ASX (Chris S. Potter's, which unfortunately is no longer available there) and I applied the same gradient to the AFRC patch with a "soft light" blend mode. And as you should be able to tell, I dropped the opacity quite a bit as well.

Looks like your photoshop custom shape of the Pentagon came in handy for your Illustrator Sept 11, 2001 collage?
[Reagan's response]Good catch, cookies! When it was suggested for me to put a regular pentagon shape in there, I immediately thought to myself, "No, I have something else you might prefer instead."

If that's ur hadnwriting in that custom shape set mentioned previously wouldn't u be worried about people scamming u? I would be if I were u!
[Reagan's response]I am not worried about that as the letters [of mine] that I selected are unique for that csh set. And printer ink is a tell-tale sign of where the supposed document originated from in my opinion.

I could not help but notice the Picasso quote on your site. How come you have White Zombie marked out on it too?
[Reagan's response]That would be because many years ago I saw it on one of the White Zombie album covers, and it stuck with me ever since. However, I eventually saw it was quoted by Picasso, so after verifying it via Google, I had to correctly attribute it to him.

I saw Jeff Salz's quote on ur quotes page, & I remembered seeing that Apocolypse Island show! That program was a complete waste if u ask me & I'm amazed that u thought his comment was worth putting up.
[Reagan's response]Agreed about that episode. If anyone does a google search, there is an inhabited island not far from where that particular location is, and the way they put the story together was pathetic at most. Hey, it will be a good statement to read again in 2013 and beyond!

I'm a little confused - okay, no really confused! I like how you did the beams of light 4 your September 11 file but how'd you get the layers 2 be gradient overlayed vertically and horizontally?
[Reagan's response]Oh, that one is easy...as the light field layers are the horizontal gradients, I tossed in a black layer above them with the vertical gradient. Pretty simple, right?

You know, Mr. Colbert was right about newspapers fading into oblivion. I used to enjoy reading them, finding out what all was going on in a matter of seconds from looking at the first paragraph or two, but now they have become worthless sagas. They're following the television method of delivering their content, and my satisfaction level dropped significantly. My subscription ended last month, and I'm thrilled do be done with it!
[Reagan's response]Those are the exact same sentiments from my grandmother, though I believe her subscription is still active.

Howd u get th padded feild 2 appear n the crop O prevu?
[Reagan's response]I know I could have gone without the colour overlay, but I stuck that in there with a "hard light" blend mode. As for the padded field effect, I used the stucco pattern overlay, which I scaled down to 5%. And that percentage will vary depending on how close your field is to view. Okay, to make this easy here be the style for you to download! As the final note, I tossed in some other good colour combinations for the field.

Wow all I can say is wow. Your humanity page really made a sore spot for me (minus the support for Japan info and the chihuahua story of course). I thought us humans were doing all sorts of great things around this world - surely I know there are instances that aren't favorable - but the degree that some of those things are really makes me cringe. Are we really that callous & uncaring? I think I'm going to start making an extra effort to make improvements where I'm @ so I can be a benefit to others instead of some sleazeball douchebag. And I hope others do likewise.
[Reagan's response]I guess the good news is that you will not be featured on my humanity page, Bartholomew! I encourage you to do what you can, and I am sure others will follow your lead.

The 'Via The Pen' shapes are nice but will you ever make some lower case letters?
[Reagan's response]I have had that idea on my board for who knows how long, but I finally managed to gather some good lower case letters not too long ago. Definitely take a look again in the next few weeks as I can assure you they will be uploaded in the near future.

I like ur 4th of July party invitation but I think it would've looked even better if you'd faded the words in upon their entrance. Great work on your other "e-folio" items, & I also agree with s!n¡qu!ty about the September 11th pdf as that 1 hits the spot in my opinion.
[Reagan's response]Many thanks, Ruby! Actually, I eventually figured out how to do the fade in, thanks to Kirupa.com, but that was many a many of moons after the party.

Hey Reaganator
as for your reply on May 22 last year why didn't you say "Ctrl + J" instead of copy & paste? That is the easier method if you ask me!
[Reagan's response]True, that keystroke is easier, but I was thinking of how it was done at that time...and I would bet most likely I did the ctrl+c/+v method instead of ctrl+j.

whats the deal man? do you not care for those with autism or theautismsite.com?

Speaking of your bulletin board so much, don't you think it is time to take down the Osama bin Laden plaque? I mean its cool & all, but he's dead now.
Unless if you happen to be a stupid deather
[Reagan's response]I have two ideas in mind for a replacement, and I want to at least work on one of them as it will take me some time to do it. And although he is no longer breathing air on this planet, I think the devastation he caused is reason enough to keep it there for a little bit longer. Your 02¢ is appreciated.

If this is you who made the comment @ the Red River Paper site about getting the sheets to print w/ the Stylus R340... TYSM for sharing that info!
[Reagan's response]Hey, no problem! I guess you are using the 5x7 or 4x6? I have also used the 8.5x11, and that seems to go through a heck of a lot easier than the 5x7 sheet!

Reagan,
Im going 2b going 2 college next year, & I was thinking of going 2 UTA.... & I nearly died LOLing when I saw u call them UT Almost! Im stuck btwn TCC & UTA.
[Reagan's response]You mean Texas College for Champions or the former Harvard on the Highway? UTA was a good place to go, and I enjoyed my experiences there. If you can, definitely check out Arlington or Kalpana Chawla Hall, though I am sure the quality of A-Hall has decreased over the years. And the apartments are pretty good, too - Arbor Oaks and Meadow Run are definitely worth looking at. Best of luck with your college venture, Allison!

I know you were trying to be helpful with the info about Japan on your humanity page, but don't you think it would've been better if it'd been placed on the bulletin board instead?
[Reagan's response]All I can say is that great minds think alike. I thought about that afterwards, and I will definitely do that next time something of that nature occurs. Thanks for the suggestion, wishuponyou!

Reagan,
Your September 11 images are good. The Photoshop one is decent, but the Illustrator verion it totally encompasses everything. The way you put it together is utterly amazing.
[Reagan's response]Thank you much, s!n¡qu!ty. Yeah, when it was mentioned to include 09.11 in the frame, I was sitting there thinking, "What is a good, iconic symbol for that tragedy?" I hit Google, and that shot seemed to highlight it for me. As for my Photoshop version, that was literally like a day or two after it happened.

Hey Reagan, I noticed the quotes you have about the Red Cross & then I remembered you had the Red Cross noted for supporting the Japanese people on your humanity page. Isn't that a little bit ironic there?
[Reagan's response]Honestly, I did not want to include the RC specifically for that reason [their aid to injured Taliban members], but I figured there are others out there who are not aware of that and may have more trust in donating to them rather than another organization. I wanted there to be equal opportunity for the Japanese to get help.

Why'd you shoot that pinscher picture with a Nikkor 55-200 lens? IMHO, you could've gotten an even better shot w/ a NIKKOR 35mm & a Tiffen filter or even the 60mm. Still looks good, but could've been better. Kudos on the photo vignette shot though, & nice way to hide the baby's bottle - I bet the mother'll cherish that photograph for years to come.
[Reagan's response]When I went outside, I was expecting Petie to be walking off in the distance, hence the reason why I had that lens loaded. But as he came around to my area I was about to swap to my 18-55 lens (the only other lens I had at that time), and when I looked up and saw him like that, I knew I had to take it regardless of my camera's lens. Thanks for your compliment!

Is there a tutorial or something that helped u create that cpc 2009 banner?

Hey Reaganator what font'd u use on that air force farewell poster? & obvsiouly I'm asking about the farewell font not the dude's name!
Thx N advance!
[Reagan's response]Actually, I used two fonts - "F" is Mutlu__Ornamental and "arewell" is OliveOil. And for future reference, What the Font may be useful for you. FYI, I have also used those two fonts together on a couple other designs, as they do work well in unison!

I think ur polls question should be 'When we encounter a superior species' b/c meeting them is kinda like, 'Hey, how r u?' 'Im fine.' 'Yadda, yadda, yadda.' U gave some great options to select from tho

How come u put Mrs. Ripley's quote in the funny category? That makes no sense 2 me.
[Reagan's response]True that it is not joke-worthy material. I just thought that had the pilot wanted to do anything bad to the aircraft and or passengers, he was the pilot...easy and simple from his standpoint. Making him sit when he had "business to do" seems excessively stupid in my opinion.

Hey Reagan, considering most of your news articles appear to be from CNN & your feedback regarding the church in Westboro, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned anything about Arizona's response to them yet > http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/11/ariz...eral.westboro/.

How in the world do u update a list of over 6thousand spammer emails?! I imagine that would take alot of time 2 sort through & put everyone in place correctly!

How come you don't have any recent pictures up? You're so cute! Well minus the one of you & your friends in all o' that paint ball gear.
[Reagan's response]Thank you, Mariella, but the voices in my head tell me otherwise. You can say I am somewhat if not very critical, and when it comes to photography, I highly prefer to be the one behind the lens to capture the essence of the moment. Your 02¢ is appreciated though.

Wow that's a fast response and it looks like there are about 1,650 top-level domains in the bag! Also, I remember a couple of those from my old Netscape account - s3curity53.com and the oin.oin20.com bunch - hence the reason why I banished that account.
[Reagan's response]That would be because I still had them stored on my machine, and the 11th was a holiday. You were close...there are 1,767 TLDs listed! I know that not all of them are spammer related (deleted a good number before uploading them again), but they were all used in spammer fashion when sent to me.

It looks like a lot of .INFO emails are listed. Are you poking around and snagging .INFO domains and tossing in an email address to it? And I would be interested in seeing the top-level domains you had if you do not mind.
[Reagan's response]Any and all spammer e-mails that I have listed were sent to my inbox. I never swipe them from anyone else's site because I do not know if their addresses are actual spam. The TLDs have been put back on the list per your request.

It was previously commented that you had 5000 spammer e-mails but now you have only 4199. Dr.j must be bad at math!
[Reagan's response]Actually, to give dr.j some credit, the collection used to include TLDs as well, but I eventually took them off and went with the e-m addresses only.

Skippinator,
would I be able to get something similar to the 'Last of the Bombardiers' picture, but with some older patches instead?
[Reagan's response]Sure! Actually, I already did something for one person long ago...would the one at the bottom work for you?

I noticed ur 2k9 cpc poster is missing that drone aircraft from the CGAWSS wallpaper. What givez?
[Reagan's response]I had everyone look at the CPC poster before it was done, and they all approved it; however, afterwards I learned that because 10 AF had recently [at that time] acquired the 940 W, we incorporated the Global Hawk as well. And it was agreed, or suggested really, that I should toss that one in there.

Spaking of ur quotes pg didjya start waching comedy central a few months ago, or sumthin?
[Reagan's response]Negative, I have been watching that channel for a number of years. I guess I started paying more attention to what I hear on TV these days.

Thanks for posting the links to The Hunger Site, The Animal Rescue Site, & The Rainforest Site, but why don't you have there other sites listed? Oh, & I added them all to my favorites!!
[Reagan's response]I added those three because number one: The Hunger Site started when I was in high school, and one of my teachers made a big push for us to go there. Number two: Animals are helpless as we dominate this tiny speck of dust, or aka our planet. Number three: The rainforests are not getting any better after what we have done here, and if these tiny contributions can add up, then hopefully the difference will be a major impact. As for the other sites, hey, at least I got you there! Tell you what though, I will add them to my links page. Will that suffice?

You have a good collection of quotes, definitely a few that I've not seen on other quotation sites. I will be back for more!
[Reagan's response]Cool beans, Jewelie! Thanks, and I will update it with other good ones as I take notice of them.

Hey Reagan - I stumbled upon your combat rescue officer image & I freaked when I noticed the gradient on the text across the bottom... I've got text on a circle path (its been sitting there for a couple of months actually) & I'm trying to get it to look the same. No not the same gradient but a gradient effect like yours. How did you do that!??! And I got a kick out of your name... Reaganator!
[Reagan's response]I recall posting a question about it over here, and I ended up figuring out the solution on my own. Maybe not the best or most resilient method, but it definitely got the job done!

You wrote a superb article for the Shorthorn paper, so good job on that. And you have a slew of witty comments in the other ones where you were quoted!

Skippy, where'd you get all of the clipart from on the farewell image? And yes, it looks amazing but what is the one item at the bottom next to the 701 COS?
[Reagan's response]Thanks, HARM. Actually, there is zero clip-art on that img; I used real pictures from af.mil/photos, sliced the aircraft and put a black layer on top. A little more time consuming...yes, but I would rather use the real deal vs. clip-art! As for the 701st, that is North Korea and South Korea with the 38th parallel highlighted.

Whered u get the necklace from in the kreative productions file? Its absolutely sick! I need 2 learn how to do that myself.
[Reagan's response]I created one link in PS...had trouble at first with the bevel effect, but once I nailed that, the diamonds were a piece of cake to put in there. Then it was nothing more than ctrl+c/+v and mask the overlays.

Ur pen on the watch idea intrigued me, so i put on on my colbert wristband, but i have no idea how u can tolerate it. It bugs me way too much! and like how many times do you write on urself? i did it for a bit the other day, and it kept coming undone. Such a hassle!
[Reagan's response]I think I may have started with a Bic pen back in '01—and I have gone through a variety of them—but I can say that I like to use Uniball Jetstream. I always seemed to be in need of a pen while in the office, and that was the best spot I could find to stick one, and it has worked for me since!

I love cutco! which knife is that? it isn't the spreader or the 'table' knife . . . if u wanna call it that!? and how did it come through from the other side?

Whyd you ban the hairyman from the site?
[Reagan's response]After looking at his comment, I had an intriguing feeling to google it, so I did. And from there I learned he was spamming many other sites with the same mssg; thus, I need not hear from him again.

Skippy, I was blown away when I saw the full size of the AFR F-16 pilot! The reflection is total greatness! You should make the preview of that 1 a little bigger 'cuz you can't really see it in the preview.
[Reagan's response]Roger, copy, wilco!

Skipster, I noticed you have two space images here in your portfolio and your downloads page. I also noticed the backgrounds are really good along with the rockin comets. How did you get them to look like so?
[Reagan's response]As for the e-folio img I found a pair of space pictures, one of which I copied over and over and randomly placed it to kill the repetitive appearance. The other img had the comet, which I masked and put into the new space scene. As for the download, I created that entire img, and to get the curved effect for the comet trail, I used the shear tool. I hope that helps!

Reagan:
I thought Therian was talking about your CPC 09 poster, but after looking down a little further I figured he was talking about the 08 poster. I like the parachuter, but it kinda looks like he'll be jumping into the office below him...because the A-10's about to invade his picture! And on the 09 poster, it looks like they're jumping because the F-16's coming right at them!

Reagan, your CPC poster is pretty cool. How'd you get those pictures to pop out like that at the top?
[Reagan's response]That would be Panos' Out of Bounds (or as I like to call it, Out of Photo Experience) action. Thanks for the compliment, Therian!

That's a unique and funny go by name for that In Design award! That person must not like Ambien!

Um is that seriously a pen on your watch? If so where'd you get it?
[Reagan's response]Affirmative, I wear a pen on my watch because if I need to get a woman's number ASAP, then I am ready at all times! (And yes, I can write on my hand if need be.)  PS: Any pen can go on your watch, just find the one that best matches your needs!

The other day I saw an article on CNN.com about the December 21, 2012 topic. Considering that is where half of your contnet comes from, is that where you saw it?

Well, Skippy, having now read your Bio I can understand why you assume that everything coming out of my domain is spam. It's because you're another good ol' boy Texan who believes that the goold ol' US of A has the right to tell everyone what to do - funny how most of the real world hates the USA, ain't it?

If you know anything about the internet (which, despite your apparent experience as stated in your résumé, I doubt) you'll know that anyone who may have one of my addresses in their contact list on, say an unprotected machine using Outlook, for example, may have been infected by a worm/virus/trojan and then used that machione as a web-bot to mail spam out.

I take great offecnce that you have decided to broadcast my domain as a spammer. Are you sure it wasn't A-HOLE and not A-Hall you were involved with.

An apology wouldn't go amiss but, given that you're a texan (and thus kitted out with a red neck, a thick hide and no manners or style) I guess you don't have the balls to provide me with one .

Barry Ward
(Owner, FORWARD-ANALYSIS.COM)
[Reagan's response] Mr. Ward:

I must admit that I take offense to your way of business, yet I appreciate you telling me that your domain is "safe." But if you were unaware of the situation, someone has hijacked your domain and is/was using it for spamming purposes.

Unfortunately I do not have the specific e-mail that was sent to me from your domain, and I have no idea when I received it.

I will remove your domain from the list; however, only until I get time to do so.

Many thanks.
