04/17/08--20:24: Animation via CS3 (chan 2222076)

By Shelleyrae Cusbert 2007
Dec 26, 2007, 21:35


This tutorial is created using PSCS3 but can also be used for other Photoshop versions with a few minor changes.
This tutorial will cover the basic idea of animating a layout. More elaborate animations can be achieved using the same methods.

Select (or create) the layout you wish to animate. Decide which elements of the layout you wish to animate. This could be a photo or a design element.

Resize the layout to 1200x1200 (for square format) and merge all layers that will not be animated. In this layout I plan to only animate the butterflies.


Open the animation palette by going to Window> Animation


The animation palette will open to the workspace.


The first frame will show exactly as your layout does. Click on the animation palette menu in the top right hand corner and select New Frame.


Make changes to this frame by moving the elements on the layout. My aim is to...

♥ Permission to use these themes are not needed but comments are really appreciated! ♥ ♥ Themes are best viewed with Firefox! ♥ Images: please, please, please do NOT edit or manipulate them in any way. ♥ CSS Codes: you can edit the fonts, margins and paddings but other than that please ask my permission before changing any of them ♥ Last but not the least, enjoy!

05/03/08--22:13: Coloring Tutorial (chan 2222076)

Coloring Tutorial


Level: Easy/Moderate




This tutorial was made on Adobe Photoshop CS2 but it should be translatable to all other Photoshop versions and probably Gimp, but not sure about Paint Shop Pro. This coloring is pretty simple and blocky because I wanted it to be kind of cell style coloring.

Before coloring:


The base. You can crop and adjust yourself, or you can just grab whatever and go with it. Step 1:


Create a new layer and set it to multiply. Fill in the skin with any shade of skin tone you'd like with the paint brush tool and erase away the areas you don't want that color.

Step 2 and 3:


Next to make it less flat and look more like "skin", duplicate the skin layer twice, set one to color burn and the other to soft light.

Step 4:


Color in the eyes and hair band. This time I set the hair band to multiply, and the eyes to hard light for a brighter color.

Step 5a:


Now that all the flats have been laid down, it's time to move on to the shadows. Decide on where your light source is coming fro...

Once You Go Redpolished. You'll Never Go Back. As much as I'd like to not be on hiatus, I can't. They just changed management at my work place so they're doing this complete overhaul of the system and my boss is pilling more and more paper work on my desk lately that I'm about to about to drown in it. It seems I have to work triple time this month or until I can breathe again. >_< I have to put everything on hold right now but feel free to leave comments and suggestions, mmkay? Until then!

05/19/08--02:25: Requests: OFF (chan 2222076)

I was looking for inspiration online when I decided to google myself just for the heck of it and this was what appeared.

It seems someone decided to rip off other authors works and pass it off as his/her own. The reason I was able to find them was because they didn't even bother to change the image urls. .___. We, theme authors, don't make even a single cent out of creating themes. We help people build their business and personalize their websites. We answer requests and suggestions. We share our time, talents and resources and we don't expect anything in return except for a few thank yous. And now.. My opinion of humankind just sank to an all time low.. :[ For now, I'll probably be posting my works only at my site and at theme makers haven. After I finish the list of requests I have here, I'll no longer be taking anymore personal requests of any kind. Although I'll still listen to comments and suggestions of any layout subject, personal layouts are now out of the mar...

05/26/08--21:27: Personalized Theme Request (chan 2222076)

I'm going to run something by you, guys. A friend of my mine introduced to me a solution for my creating personalized requests. He told me that I could charge for the time and effort I spend on making them. Nothing big really. Just a way for me to not feel guilty about neglecting work so i could create themes :) I listed the pros and cons so I want everyone's honest opinion about this, ok? :) thanks guys! PROS:

I'd have to double the time and effort I exert in creating these themes CSS Codes and images are created simply for your own disposal Limitation on requests are next to nothing Better and faster layouts produced

CONS:

Paid themes

~ END OF POLL ~ Thank you so much for all your honest comments :) The rules of free and paid requests will be found HERE
