Advice please :)

Does anyone have a graphics tablet? I've been thinking about getting one for a couple years now and I think I'm definitely in need of one now. I think I'd probably get a Wacom but even then they have so many different models I'm not sure which one is best. I don't want one for office programs and signing my signature. The new Bamboo range looks good, I'm considering the Bamboo fun. Looks pretty good. Anyone have one already? Know any good ones?

Portfolio Work Raster Pt1.1 - Business Card

Design brief: create business card with just photoshop tools & text, no graphics or photographs. Greyscale. So I didn't know what else to do except draw pixel scribbles :) They're fun but I found it more difficult than usual. I usually draw them in psp but in ps it's harder because the cursor is almost invisible! Got there in the end though :D I guess I quite like the end result. Georgia's one of my favourite fonts and I quite like light grey and white colourschemes. Used it quite a lot in the past in site designs.

Java dev con

Hey did anyone go to the Sun Microsystems Java talk thing last Thursday?

I got one of those t-shirts. Dunno if I'll wear it though... I'm not sure I want people to think I don't wear pants when I program Java >.<

Also, can anyone think of an actual use for sun spots? Other than to be geeky of course :D

Photoshopped photographs

We get to play with photoshop in class. Can't get much better than that :D


First photo has been lightened, desaturated and more. Second one has been cropped into a panorama of the beach, I fiddled with the levels a bit too. The third photograph I cropped into a panorama so that the photograph focused on the building and in the last photo I fiddled with the levels and added something in :)

Seaton Park Trees

I had the flu last week. :(

Watched flight of the navigator though. Forgot how ACE that movie is!!!

But for most of the week I just lay around watching Black Books. Not a bad way to spend your time :D
