Graphic Design

The Sandpit

I saw this on BBC News Click and was really impressed. It's an effect called "time-lapse tilt shift photography" where everything is made to look smaller than it actually is.

As an update Mar 2011, I just watched Gulliver's Travels (2010) and it looks like the same effect for the intro credits :c)

This is "a day in the life of New York City".

Personally I can sit there watching it without sound.
 

Splatter Logo

I saw this article and rather than bookmark it I thought I could just have it here for easy reference.  It was written for Photoshop but I use Paint Shop Pro and felt I could do the same.  It's just so complicated in Photoshop when web-developers need to be able to run several programs at the same time and simplicity is king.

In PaintShop Pro you would simply:

  1. Insert text as floating, leave the selection on
  2. Create a new layer beneathsplatter logo step 2
  3. Go to Selection > Modify > Expand > 10 pxsplatter logo step 3
  4. Fill this selection with another color (in the example below: dark grey)splatter logo step 4
  5. Add the brush with the same color to that layer...splatter logo step 5
