In Photoshop's Perspective

2005-02-15T10:20:00.000-08:00

I want to put an image into the screen of my laptop computer. The problem is, I don’t know how. That is a problem. Fortunately, a genie in a bottle puffs out to grant our wish.
A comprehensive tutorial is presented at http://www.graphic-design.com/Photoshop/tranformation/index.html detailing a comprehensive discussion of how to proceed with creating “insets.” Our genie states the basics of creating crafty insets using Transformation and Layers. It was a good presentation telling the readers the situations that were easy as well as those that need some hardwork.
Understanding the concept was made easy thru the use of examples. In reality, accumulating a new knowledge is greatly enhanced through practical applications. This makes retention better. We can feel the pressure as well with the situation presented where the “genie” had to create a billboard design that will meet the requirements of a committee. It is a fact that the more people there are to decide on a project, in this case a committee, the number of inputs grows proportionately calling for revisions. It is then very important to create an actual image for the client to see the actual look of your billboard.
The “genie” is right when he said that we can never have control where our client wants to have the billboard. With this fact in mind, we will have to work with what is provided to us. Although the example was quite tough, he was able to come up with a good design that did satisfy the client. I myself was impressed with the outcome of the project and I can say that Photoshop made a great contribution to this. Manipulating the images was made easier making the “inset” creation easier.
I appreciate the careful attention to detail and the simplified step-by-step presentation of the process itself. Not only that, the motivating factor is a very important component in this tutorial. The reader will definitely feel involved and will be interested to learn more about this process. At the end of the article, you will feel the satisfaction of having made a successful billboard that was able to merit the committee’s approval. An explanation was even provided why he did this and that and what were the effects of these in the overall appearance of the “inset.”
Our “genie” has granted one wish and is sure to grant many more in the future. With the help of Photoshop of course. Keep rubbing that lamp.

On "Lexicon Directory"

2005-01-10T06:47:00.000-08:00

Lexicon is a role playing game (RPG) that took off in the year 2003 created by Neel Krishnaswami. It was an inspired by Milorad Pavic's Dictionary of the Khazars and was named in honor of it thereafter.
Krishnaswami’s idea for the game is that each player takes on the role of a scholar, from before scholarly pursuits became professionalized (or possibly after they ceased to be). You are cranky, opinionated, prejudiced and eccentric. You are also collaborating with a number of your peers -- the other players -- on the construction of an encyclopedia describing some historical period (possibly of a fantastic world).
The game is played in 26 turns, one for each letter of the alphabet.
Lexicon is best played on a wiki and it would entail a month or so before the game is completed. What is a wiki?
According to Ward, a wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and cross-links between internal pages on the fly.
Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.
Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by non-technical users.
At the end the game, you will have for yourself a highly-hyperlinked document that details a good piece of collaborative world-building.

New Harry Potter Book .

2005-01-06T13:59:00.000-08:00

With the announcement of the release of J.K. Rowling’s sixth Harry Potter book in July, this year will be more worth living for all the Potter fans. Titled "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," much shorter than the previews “Order of the Phoenix ,” the book is expected to top all the best.

And every signs of the book becoming a top-seller is very evident several months before its market launch. In fact, according to the article, Amazon.com placed the book in the No. 1 best-seller’s list. The article also added that “Barnes & Noble's Web site also has the book listed as its top-seller... Amazon said it sold more than 1.3 million pre-release titles of the last book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," setting a record for early orders and accounting for more than $23 million in sales--even at a 40 percent off discount.”

The fifth installment that was released in June 21, 2003, sold for about 5 million copies on the first day alone and thus we can expect that the Potter fans will line their way through the bookstore cash register to get their beloved Harry home.

And with excitement greater than the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, July will be the unofficial bookstore month around the world; thanks to JL Rowling. And for the record, with all the five Potter books in my possession, I will be one of the millions rushing to the bookstore in July to get my latest Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince book.
