Interchangeable Magnetic Photo Cube You Make in Minutes

Marţi 13 Iulie, 2010 16:21 | Fără categorie | maxshannon1985

I made new Images in the last months – please tell me if you like them:

Today I will be teaching you how to make a cool photo montage in Photoshop. A photo montage is a combination of photos that are all combined into one image. You can use different pictures of family members and loved ones to make your photo montage. This technique can be used in Photoshop 6.0 and above. The first step is to open a new file to work with. You can make the new file any size you wish, but make sure it's big enough to fit all the pictures you want to use in your photo montage. The next step would be to import the photos you want to use in your montage. For instance if you want pictures of your family in the montage then you should open those. Once you have your photos open resize them to the sizes you want. You can do this by hitting control T on your keyboard and then grabbing he corner of the arrow. To keep the same proportions make sure to hold down shift while you do this. Also you should change any other things like lighting and brightness of the photos before we put them in our montage.

Once you are happy with how your photos look we can start putting them in the blank file we made eariler. To do this double click on on the background layer of each photo to unlock them. Then once you have done this click and drag the photos into the blank file with the move tool. Now once you have all the photos in the blank file you can start arranging them in the order in which you want them. After you have put your photos in the places you want you can add some effects to them. One effect I suggest using is an outer glow. Something you can do that is really cool is play with the blending modes to make them blend in with the background more. For example if you use clouds as your background you can mess with the blending modes to create the illusion that the people in your photos are in the clouds. So be creative and have fun with the project. The sky is really the limit when it comes to what you can do with your photo montage. Have fun and arrange and resize the photos any way you like Once you have something you are happy with just save the file. And if you want to make it a jpeg to put it online just go to save for web. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and have a great day.

Claudia Schiffer and Karl Lagerfeld Are Attacked by Fashion Editor of Black Lifestyle Magazine for Photo of Schiffer, Blacked-Up

Vineri 18 Iunie, 2010 13:00 | Fără categorie | maxshannon1985

I made some shots in the last days – please tell me your thoughts:

{Blog zum Thema Stammzellen in der Forschung

Claudia Schiffer has been attacked for offending black people after posing on a magazine cover made up as a black woman. The 39-year-old German supermodel wore black foundation and an afro-style wig in the photograph taken by fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld.

Lagerfeld had Schiffer made up as a black women in one of six photographs he took while putting together an advertising campaign for the vintage champagne Dom Perignon. The photos were published by German fashion magazine Stern Fotografie when it celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Accusations against Schiffer and Lagerfeld followed from Shevelle Rhule, the fashion editor of a London black lifestyle magazine, Pride. Ms Rhule said:

“It shows poor taste and it's offensive. There are not enough women of colour featured in mainstream magazines. This just suggests you can counteract the problem by using white models. I don't believe they deliberately set out to offend. They obviously see it as being arty and feel that they are pushing boundaries. But clearly no thought has been given to the history behind what they have done and the comparisons it draws with minstrel shows.”

To which I would reply: 'Shevelle, lighten up'. Her comment is the kind that perpetuates raw nerves about race and creates a path of spikey eggshells for people, black and white, to walk on. Society doesn't need race relations zealots, quangocrats or Pride fashion editors lecturing designers (or filmmakers or writers or rap singers…) on what they can or can't do. It's small-minded. Already an online magazine has responded to the photos with conformist knee-jerk political correctness by saying one of the other photos, of Schiffer as an Asian, is “just wrong”, scolding that Lagerfeld should have used more than one model in the interests of racial diversity.

Fashion, like fiction and film and other creative industries, should be free to play with any images it chooses. Did Ms Rhule also take offence at white French actor Gerard Depardieu recently playing mixed-race Alexander Dumas (using black make-up)? Or Eddie Murphy impersonating a white (jewish) person? Or black British actor Adrian Lester who played the white Danish prince, Hamlet? Or the black actor, David Oyelowo, who played white English king Henry VI?

Would she criticise images of Bob Dylan or the Rolling Stones dressed up as women? How about pantomime dames, women actors dressed as men, Eddie Izzard in frock and lipstick, comedians pretending to be children…?

As soon as you get into determining whether blacks can play whites and women can play men but not the other way round, you're proscribing the creative process and engaging in censorship. Clamping down on the arts in that way (even commercial arts like advertising) is as restricting as squashing free speech.

As for Rhule's comment that Lagerfeld and Schiffer were suggesting the photograph of a 'black' Schiffer would substitute for using black models in mainstream magazines – that's just plain foolish. Rhule then seems to have chucked minstrels into the discussion just for shock value.

In fact the photo was one of a series of six in which Lagerfeld was playing with Schiffer's image. Another showed her as a secretary, a third as an Asian woman. In a fourth she was dressed and made up as eighteenth century French queen, Marie Antoinette and in a fifth she was androgynous. The fashion shoot theme was fantasy and imagination. Lagerfeld wanted to play with Schiffer's face and Shiffer's image. He didn't want to use other models. He wasn't trying to portraying racial diversity – he was portraying imaginary Claudia Schiffers. And has every right to.

A spokesman for Lagerfeld responded to Rhule's criticism, saying she was taking them out of context: “The images were designed to reflect different men's fantasies. The pictures were not intended to offend, they were done very creatively and are some of Karl Lagerfeld's favourite images of Claudia. People should not jump to conclusions.”

Yet there are many people with vested interests in Britain and other liberal democracies who make a good living from jumping to conclusions and playing the race card in cases which can only trivialise genuine instances of racism. Political correctness about race and ethnicity has battened onto society like a barnacle on a boat. It would be a democratic step forward if those who have a professional interest in taking offence at 'racism' and other -isms would pick their battles more wisely.

It would also be good if the race relations industry ditched the term “people of colour”. What is it supposed to indicate?! What colour? Black? Dark brown? Sienna? All those and more? Does it imply that white people – with their variously pink, peachy, creamy, olive-toned, ugly red, bluey-white, brown or orangey skin – have no colour? Why aren't whites called “people of non-colour” then? Or “people of no-colour”?

Black and white are just words. They're quick and easy terms to use for those who want or need to indicate skin colour and they're neutral. People (like Ms Rhule perhaps) who want to take offence at one (and not the other) always will. But they're misguided. Countering racism is always worth doing. But cranking up and maintaining raw nerves unnecessarily does no-one any good. It just increases division between black and white and injects a zealous, scolding tone into debate which would benefit from more freedom, less 'sensitivity' and – in a case like the Schiffer/Lagerfeld photos – a bit of playfulness.

From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part II: Doll Parts
After yesterday's delightful offering of Chuckie's head impaled on a car antenna outside our world-famous waste treatment facility I feel compelled to share some more poppet goodness from the New York…

Now that wolfboy Taylor Lautner is no longer jailbait, he’s posing for magazines in all kinds of provocative poses. Yum! It’s no longer illegal to look at him as if he were a piece of meat, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Enjoy!

In the article, “GQ” alludes to Taylor showing off the latest Fall trends, but we only see our favorite wolfpack member showing off what the good lord gave him. He’s not a kid anymore, that much is for sure.

He talked about being holed up in a hotel room with co-star Kristen Stewart, but it’s not what you think.

“GQ” reports:

So he tells me about Brazil. How he and his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart were trapped in a hotel suite when hundreds of teenage fans stormed the lobby, outwitted security, and charged the stairs to get to them. “We were in lockdown in this little room for forty-five minutes waiting for the SWAT team to arrive,” Lautner says, his eyes wide. “We said to each other, ‘Let’s say they get into this room. What are they going to do? Tear us to shreds? What do they want?’ “

Are you digging this sexy side of Taylor? Aren’t you glad he’s old enough to bask in his sexiness?

The MacBook Air was one Apple laptop that everybody craved for but little people could afford. Until the Dell Adamo was launched on the market, the Apple MacBook Air used to be the thinnest laptop in the world but then Adamo took that title away by producing a thinner and even lighter laptop.

On a more personal level, I can say that I have always been a fan of the design of Apple laptops but I never really found anything so spectacular that could justify the price of this unit. The specs are that much even if the laptop cost more than $1500 when it first appeared on the market and a lot of cool features have been sacrificed in order to get that thin and light unit that everybody wanted to get their hands on.

The Apple laptop reviewed came with a 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM which is not the most spectacular combination in a laptop with a 4 digit price. Aside from that, the graphics card is the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator which is not going to do you any good if you plan on running some new games or 3D applications. You would expect this Apple laptop to at least come with a lot of hard disk memory but it only has 80 GB of available disk space.

The dimensions of this unit are 12.7 x 8.9 x 0.76 inches and the total weight including the power adapter is 3.4 pounds. The display of the Apple MacBook Air measures 13.3 inches in diagonal and it comes with a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and it offers bright images due to its thinness. One of the chapters where you are going to notice a lot of lacks is the ports and connections chapter.

In order to get a thin laptop, Apple has cut some of the most important ports that a laptop must have, leaving us with only 1 USB port, a VGA out, one DVI out and a headphones jack. There is absolutely no optical drive included by my biggest problem is the missing Ethernet port. This means that you can only connect to the internet if you have a wireless connection and a wireless router at home. I’m not very sure what you can so with only 1 USB port either. It is going to take a lot of swapping and pulling out one USB device to insert another and so forth.

Since this laptop seems to lack a lot of important stuff, we can at least hope to get decent performance from the battery included. One major disappointment was the lack of the user replaceable battery. When using the Apple MacBook Air for different functions like installing software, video playback and surfing the internet, the laptop managed to stay on for 4 hours of laptop use which is quite a decent performance. However, the new Dell Adamo can have its batteries changes and since they are so light, you can buy as many as you like and carry them all around to basically have unlimited battery performance.

MovieLessons.com Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs took the wraps off a super-slim new laptop at the Macworld trade show on Tuesday, unveiling a personal computer less than an inch thick that turns on the moment it’s opened. Jobs also confirmed the consumer electronics company’s foray into online movie rentals, revealing an alliance with all six major movie studios to offer films over high-speed Internet connections within 30 days after they’re released on DVD. Always a showman, Jobs unwound the string on a standard-sized manila office envelope and slid out the ultra-thin MacBook Air notebook computer to coos and peals of laughter from fans at the conference. At its beefiest, the new computer is 0.76 inches thick; at its thinnest, it’s 0.16 inches, he said. It comes standard with an 80-gigabyte hard drive, with the option of a 64GB flash-based solid state drive as an upgrade. The machine doesn’t come with a built-in optical drive for reading CDs and DVDs, a feature Jobs says consumers won’t miss because they can download movies and music over the Internet and access the optical drives on other PCs and Macs to install new software. They can buy an external drive, however, that will retail for $99. Trading in Apple stock was heavy Tuesday, the first day of the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. It fell 5.52 percent to $168.91 at midday. The new laptop, which has a 13.3-inch screen and full-sized laptop keyboard, will cost $1799 when it goes on sale in two …

Tennis Quote.

The running of the 142nd Belmont Stakes took place on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York. The third and final leg of the Triple Crown is a 1.5-mile race open to three year thoroughbreds. The championship was not at stake because the Kentucky Derby 2010 winner did not repeat at the Preakness Stakes. Neither Super Saver or Lookin At Lucky competed today.

The race was won by jockey Mike Smith aboard Drosselmeyer, giving the jockey his first Belmont win in his 13th try. The final time was 2:31:57. At 12 to 1 odds, the win paid $28.00, $11.60, and $7.70.

Drosselmeyer seized the lead in the final stretch, giving Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott his first win in a Triple Crown race. Drosselmeyer defeated Fly Down by three-quarters of a length. First Dude finished third after being the pace setter for most of the race.

Fly Down paid $6.80 and $5.10. First Dude paid $4.90.

The 44-year-old veteran jockey got into the sport at age 16 in 1982. He hit his stride in 1993, winning a record 62 North American stakes races.

Probably the most disappointed when First Dude faltered were former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and her very own ‘First Dude’ Todd Palin. The horse was named after Todd in the Fall of 2008, during the presidential campaign. The couple visited the paddock today to greet the namesake colt – see photos in the gallery.
