Beetle Poster

Unread post by Beetle »

I tried to make my first poster that looks like the ones used in TF2. What do you think? Not to shabby right? :P I just have to figure out how to make it not rectangular like that. I thought I did, but obviously even though I cut pieces out of it its still white around.

There are a few flavors of PNG. I think it's 8 and 16. PNG files are much larger files than GIF files because they support all of the colors and partial transparency. Gif files are limited to 256 total colors and a pixel is either transparent or not transparent (no partial transparency).

I don't know what this has to do with anything but there it is.
