It’s been a while since I did an image dump:

The Fill the Bus project is being run by the Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement. We needed a very fast turnaround for this. I think it took me about 20 minutes total to create this image in Illustrator.

Interestingly enough, the font (Ravie) was a random pick. I wanted a font that would be fun and bouncy and chose it because it sounded like it might fit. Normally I’m pretty obsessive about font selection, but this time the first try actually worked well. I love it when things work out in my favor.

I spent maybe an hour creating this image to be a background for a powerpoint presentation. I’m kinda proud of how it turned out. It’s also interesting to realize just how comfortable I’m getting with photoshop.

I’ve started messing around in Photoshop a bit just to see what I can teach myself. (That, and there was a class assignment using it once.) For lack of any better topics to write about, and perhaps to motivate myself to actually *do* something with this site, I’m going to start dumping some of my stuff here, mostly so it does more than sit on my hard drive, gathering virtual dust. (Y’know, gather intarweb dust instead.)

I’m having fun with Photoshop, though. Too bad I probably won’t have energy to mess with it now that classes have started again.
