Hows to draw a PSP in MS Paint – the good and the bad!

Posted in Art and Design, Graphic Design, Javascript, Video | 3 Comments
TechEBlog posted another great video where a skilled digital artist draws a Sony PSP by hand in MS Paint. Yes, MS Paint, that well known digital creative tool. It rivals an etch-o-sketch in advanced technology! Surprisingly it turns out quite well. The artist is obviously very talented and spent a long time on it. Then i did a quick search on youtube and found a whole host of copycat videos. These ones are no way near as good but they have a certain charm about them. If you watch them you will soon see what i mean. This is why i love youtube! Ascii art rocks! and of course.. the best til last! Tags:

My first band CD! – just a little bit of fun

Posted in Graphic Design | No Comments
One of the best things about the internet is it’s ability to entertain and inspire. Today abduzeedo.com published a post about My First Band CD. Ages ago i saw a few sites which generate random band names, Eiffel 65 who released ‘Blue’ was commonly known to use one, but this post goes further. It gives you three links:
Link 1 returns a random wikipedia article and your new band name.. Link 2 returns a page, the last four words of the last quote make up your album title.. Link 3 returns a flickr page, the third picture is your album art.. You then use these links to create you first band cd! As you can see from the post on abduzeedo.com there have been quite a few entries! My bands name is: Sousville which is a small town in France My album title is: misfortune or be miserable which is a quote by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi My album art is: a picture of three ladybirds from a photographer called Cajita Dorada This is what i came up with… A picture of my first band cd What do you think? If you want to see how i mocked this up you can download the psd file here (comment me back please) Well that’s me done, i quite enjoyed this post PLUS it meant i didn’t watch Big Brother like the rest of the UK, never a bad thing!
