Another Update

Alright guys, last week was very jam packed. I had to finish off a clients YouTube background. Alright let me just talk a little bit about his YouTube Background, I enjoyed creating this background. He asked for a ‘Minecraft’ theme background and I delivered I am still yet to send it to him due to the fact I was just fiddling around with some colour correction and what not, but I will email him the background tonight. I have also moved into a new house about 2 – 3 weeks ago and created a new Gaming/Graphics Setup, I will be uploading that video to my personal channel on Sunday.

I am also looking and thinking at creating a Gaming blog just specifically for my Gaming, as I now have a HD PVR and can record Xbox 360 gameplay. This will be uploaded to my personal YouTube channel and a link will be provided below. One of the main Video Series featured on my YouTube channel is the ‘Elite Hitmarkers Series’ where I during the week sniper for 3 days, (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and once I have gotten at least one hitmaker for that day then I start to edit/put together the ‘Elite Hitmaker Series’. Click here to view Invalid's Personal YouTube Channel.

One last thing before I go I would like to ask you reader/views of this blog to just please give back to me and tell your friends about me or what not, share me on Google Plus+ (Located on the top left of the blog above the sponsors page), follow this blog, the more followers the more happier I will be, and lastly subscribe to my person YouTube channel because I upload 4 videos a week to that channel and I’m fairly sure most of you would enjoy my content, on my personal YouTube channel are links to my Google Plus+, Twitter and many other helpful links.

Alright guys, thanks for reading my blog once again. We have also nearly hit 1000 pageviews, so keep reading my blog!

Invalid is back from Holidays!

Diptych Download Link: Coming Soon!

Hey Guys, I'm back from the school holidays and am not to excited about being back at school. I didn't really do to much exciting things on the holidays except for going to Melbourne and visiting friends and family.

Hi Agian!
Although it was only a short trip I still got to see my cousin, Matt (Perplexr) and stay the night at his place, Perplexr and I are thinking about creating a YouTube channel together, where there will be gaming and graphics content. We are still throwing around some idea's as to what the channel should be called and I am not going to reveal the name of the channel untill we have got it up and running with a background and whatnot.

Hauppague HD PVR
I am ordering a Hauppauge HD-PVR to record game play from Xbox to upload to the new channel. I am getting it from PCMeal from the Australian Ebay site as I know they are trusted and would like to spread the word about them. I an just going to go off topic for a second here and talk about PCMeal, They are 100% trusted and I highly recommend you if you’re buying any electronic product off the internet check their Ebay store out first. I have bought my Gaming Computer off them and also Windows 7 and haven't had any problems yet with both of them (touch wood). Anyway back to the Hauppauge HD-PVR, I am getting this only because I've wanted one ever since Perplexr got one, and as we live in different states it would be hard to use his PVR, so now, I'm getting one for myself so I can do commentaries by myself. You are probly sitting and reading this post and thinking, Nathan, WHAT THE HELL DUDE, THIS IS MENT TO ME A GRAPHICS DESIGNS BLOG! But, I'm thinking about adding a new section into this blog fro gaming. I am still going to be doing Graphics Designs, (because I'm getting order from people to make them YouTube backgrounds) so if you are a Graphics Designer and read my blog because it's a Graphics Designs blog that’s okay, because the content is still going to be the same as what I produce now, all I am doing is adding a new section.

Diptych
I have also made you guys a basic Diptych that can have three (3) photo's on it, I will be doing a Diptych pack later on down the track but for now I have just put together a simple one for you hope you enjoy it. The download like will be provided at the top of this blog post.

Anyway I'm going to stop rambling on and just finish up this blog post now. I hope you guys are enjoying my content on my blog and I will keep you updated on the progress of the shipping of my PVR.

Holidays are Coming!

The Holidays are nearly here, only one more week left of school and then I don't have to worry about homework! I am so excited for these holidays as it is my first ever holidays in Caloundra and will be going surfing when I want to and not when I can. Also a big event happening in my holidays is that our family is moving into our new house, so this now means I get a new computer/gaming setup (I will be making a setup video later on in the holidays). My setup will contain one computer monitor 20", one TV 32", (the computer monitor and the TV is used at a dual screen setup), I will have my Xbox and my sound system on my desk as well, so I am going to have fun for the first half of my holidays. But, I will only get to use this setup for half of the holidays as from Wednesday 11th April will be in Melbourne to see my family and friends, I might do a blog post once in Melbourne just to give you guys an update on what is happening. I'm excited to also see my family again, even though I am in Melbourne every two months, it's good to catch up with them, because the only time I get to talk to them, or see them is either on Facebook or Skype. I hope you guys have fun on your holidays, if you are still in school, and have a safe trip to where ever you may go.



I will also be uploading more content to my YouTube page over the holidays as I am getting my 250GB internet back, I am excited for this only because I like showing people my art in video, so you can see the creation as it is being created, more than just showing you a canvas of just an image.

Over the holidays I will also be reviewing anf using Photoshop CS6 Beta, I am still yet to download the Beta but will download it sometime later this week. On the post above this on on my Home Page is a Photoshop CS6 Beta Blog Post. The blog post contains the Highlights of Photoshop CS6 Beta, It alo contains the download links and some important notes on Photoshop CS6 Beta.
