Yuss! Updates!

Jan26

Yess! Updates! *Puches air like Ron* Today, instead of studying for exams that I start next Monday, I put up a new layout, (TA-DAAA!) updated my About > Webmaster page, and fixed/added to the About > Design page! YAY! They all look GREAT :D You should ALL go look at all of them.

So, the other day Taylor and I went to her dad’s house to hang out, take pictures, and make Alfredo pasta! We went out on the trails in the forests behind/around her dad’s house, taking pictures and talking about anything and everything. We also got pizza, and lots of candy for out little hike. We both got great pictures out of it. One idea we had was to do one of those panoramic ones with multiple pictures of yourself in different positions that gets photoshopped together afterward! We did this at two different places, the park and a stream, and one version for each of us. Here’s mine, at the stream:

StreamPan

I like editing pictures like that. It was difficult with the park though, cause we turned the camera (bad idea) to accommodate the entire park, so some of the bars we a bit distorted in comparison to the bigger picture. You can kinda tell if you zoom up on it, but I tried to blend it as best as I could. The stream was easiest to do because it was just one shot we did, on my tripod :)

Also, I don’t think I’ve posted a screenshot of my new computer yet! I got it for Christmas! It’s running Windows 7 (home premium I think) and has a BRAND-SPANKIN’ NEW monitor! It’s 1600×900 resolution :D :D :D Great for Photoshop. Yummy. Here’s a screenie:

New Monitor

HEHEHE. It makes me happy. Yes, that is the OS X Tiger default wallpaper. I still love it. Plus I think it goes really well with the Windows 7 interface. ‘

Anywho, I’m going to go do elsewhat. That is, other stuff. YAY!

The “Creative Process”

Jan18

So recently Mr. Renner has taking to following the (government approved) “Creative Process” step-by-effing-step. I find it HIGHLY ironic, as it doesn’t allow for you to be creative, in the experiences I’ve had with it. Nothing gets done with it. Renner is corrupt this year, I think. Maybe he suffered minor head trauma. Huh. /mini rant

On the topic of creativity, I made semi posters last week, because the guy who designed the tickets made some stupid warped village with random snow boarders and failed to mention that it was actually called the “Snowflake Ball.” It also had NO snowflakes on it. Or any icy stuff. So I made a new one, (which I don’t actually like anymore, after looking at it so much) and Ms. Skinn sent it to him. So he took the original one he made, took out the stupid village, added snowflakes to the background (JUST snowflakes) kept the stupid TEAL text, and added “Snowflake Ball” >_> Fail.

The other day I saw that one of the kids in my class had Photoshop CS4 on his laptop that he brought, so I asked him where he got it. It was cracked, so he threw it onto my USB stick for me. Fun right? Yeah, not if it doesn’t work. It was slow as hell and the keygen wouldn’t open. So eff that, Photoshop 7 for me it is. I don’t mind PS 7. Its interface is nice. Better than Elements 5, which is what we have at school, and it’s simpler than CS4. A CS2 or 3 would be a happy medium for me. :)

I don’t feel like writing more, sorry for not blogging for a while. I will again, soon.
