Digital Aurora wallpaper

Inspired by “Catch the Beat” by Staredown Studios and this MSNBC Style Effect tutorial, I decided to have a go at making my own.

And I thought this one turned out kind of interestingly – applied the Polar Coordinates filter.

    KickStart

    Like classic motorcycles? I’ve started a tumblr blog over at KickStart.tumblr.com with vintage, classic, worn-out and generally interesting motorcycle photos that I find.

      Create a randomly coloured grid in Illustrator

      Gerhard Richter - 4900 Colours: Version III stumbled across this work by Gerhard Richter4900 Colours: Version II (his other Colour Charts are great too) on ffffound and fell in love with it. Taking the randomly coloured grid concept a bit further (in the graphic design sense) is the Pet Shop Boys album, “Yes”, seen below.

      I thought it would be interesting to see how hard it would be to achieve in Illustrator. With one small, free Illustrator script, it turns out it is quite easy.

      The script we’ll need is “vary_hues” from wundes.com. Save the .js file on to your computer somewhere. It’s well worth checking out the other scripts too. Read the rest of this entry »

      What a handsome bunch – January 2010 browsers

      Opera vs Chrome vs Firefox

      My web browsers in order of usage. I was just noticing how good they all look now, so I thought I get them all together.

      1. Opera for general, long sessions of browsing. Opera 10.50 pictured above.
      2. ChromeAdThwart for looking up something quickly, or if something doesn’t work quite correctly in Opera.
      3. Firefox mostly for web development. Firefox theme pictured above is TwentyTen with Fission + Locationbar2 + Adblock Plus + Firebug.

      Wallpaper is from here.

      Project 365 Calendar 2010

      Project 365 Calendar 2010

      If you’ve decided to participate in Project 365 this year, you might start to find it difficult to keep track of which number day it is in the year once you get out of January – I know I did when I did my Project 365 last year.

      Last year I made a special Project 365 Calendar with all the days of the year on it and after a few requests, I’ve updated it for 2010.

      Details

      The PDF contains three A4 pages (all vector graphics, so it’s no problem to larger or at a different size). Page one is the full colour calendar. Page two is a black and white version. Page three is a simplified version – just black text on a white background.

      I’ve also updated Tagr for 2010 to help you tag your Project 365 photos with the correct date, number, etc.
