This Historic Tale Construction Kit has been around for a couple of years. I often use it to support one of my school projects for Page & Cover Design. Click Start and you can drag & drop images and use the text tool to create words (only one font available), unfortunately to save the images you need to use the print screen function with Photoshop for editing. I don't think this site supports multiple frames, email to a friend, or the gallery function any longer, still it is a clever way to create tapestry-like images if you have the patience to use print screen & Photoshop.
Milton Glaser, one of my favorite designers and teachers (you might remember his "I Heart NY" design), is featured in a short film on hillmancurtis.com. The film and video page is a great resource for designers, teachers, and people who love design... explore and enjoy. For more short films click here for more on Milton Glaser click here Sutree is a "How to" video library I've shared before. Recently the site has been redesigned and enhanced with new features. Although you don't need to register to you use the site, you will, if you choose to save favorites, which I thought was a useful feature. The site may redirect you to an alternate site that contains the actual video so it may take a few seconds. This link will direct you to the Graphic design section of the site which offers various tutorials in Photoshop many of you may find helpful. http://www.sutree.com/Learn.aspx?c=10024 Yes, I'm going to start cheating and taking the easy way out. I want to explore to see how much I can push the capabilities of Weebly, OR just be lazy by taking the the quick update path, the UI (User Interface) appears SO easy to use, I'm recommending it to many of my friends and non-techie colleagues who wish to create their own sites. No experience is needed. It's free, has no advertising, and it should only take a couple of minutes. During the set-up the site may ask you to register your domain name for about 24./year (a reasonable price). You don't have to register a domain if you choose not to, just click continue, you can always register it later. I would recommend getting your own domain name, it would appear to be more professional and easier to remember. http://www.weebly.com/ |
