Macam ni lah kalau nama pun kerja kan? so semalam dan kelmarin ingat nak taip sesuatu di blog tapi tak jadi sebab sibuk dengan hal sendiri. Biasalah bila dah berkahwin ni tak banyak aktiviti yang merangsang minda dan fizikal tapi tetap ada untuk diri sendiri biar pun lambat, yelah asalkan kita bahagia kan.
Sekarang ni nak citer pasal pekerjaan sekarang, so aku faham mungkin tak berapa sesuai di jadikan topik tapi aku nak citer gak sebab ni kan blog aku nyehnyehnyeh. Mengikut pengalaman aku sekarang ni aku dah tak buat kerja grafik mahupun fotografi yang aku idam2 kan selama ini, termasuklah multimedia dan animasi serta kerja2 seni yang lain. Aku rindu sangat nak buat natam tu tapi yelah takde rezeki kot? aku cuba buat pada masa lapang tapi macam di atas lah kan memang tak sempat nak membuat dan meratah lagi la tak dan.

Adobe Illustrator tutorial: Create repeating patterns for skate deck art
Intro
Skate decks are a mini art canvas on wheels – and some of the hottest designers around have honed their talents in pursuit of the status of design legend in the half-pipe circuit. Yet creating deck art is more than recreating yet another urban art scene and slapping it onto a strip of maple. This speedy canvas should be home to more imaginative renderings,.
This masterclass shows you how to use repeating, tiled patterns based on vector workings of real-world objects. By taking the everyday, such as vegetables and kitchen utensils in this case, and reworking them as stylized vector art, you can add a real twist and create some thought-provoking art.
After designing the objects, next comes the part that, while requiring patience, is like working with a digital jigsaw puzzle. Thanks to some clever tiling techniques and tricks, you be able to turn a few vector objects into a multi-layered, highly complex design that will have some people scratching their heads.
Some advice – stick to bright, contrasting colour palettes for maximum impact, and ensure that objects are a mix of short and long – adding pace to the composition.
Once done, head to your nearest skate emporium and prepare to dazzle with your astounding deck.
OVERVIEW The program is designed to teach and instill the ability to tell a story through pictures. The best way to learn is from people who have mastered their craft. Peter Sanders is an internationally acclaimed photographer renowned for his documentation of the Islamic World. We want to create such an environment in different places in the world where everyone, from the beginner to the expert, may benefit from Peter Sanders’s vast knowledge and experience of photography and storytelling. The programs consist of four master classes, which form the core of the program, covering various topics. Sidi Peter shares his experiences and stories and then demonstrates. This is followed by opportunities for each participant to shoot pictures at various locations in the area. SPEAKERS
Peter Sanders is an internationally award winning photographer who began his career in the 1960s as one of London’s leading photographers of rock musicians, photographing Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many more.
In 1971 Peter travelled on a spiritual quest to India, afterwards to Morocco, then to the Holy Cities of Makkah and Madinah. From his ongoing travels, he has built up a huge photographic archive of over a quarter of a million photographs of the Islamic World, its people, architecture and cultures. His work is shown internationally in exhibitions, presentations and books. Recently, Peter created the ‘art of seeing’ photographic workshops to encourage young people into the creative arts.
His empathy with both spiritual masters and ordinary people has opened many doors and allowed him to photograph many ofwhom have never been photographed before.
Peter continues to travel worldwide on a number of commissions for a variety of international clients.
Making beautiful black-and-white images is easier than ever before, thanks
to powerful adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop, as well as specialized
conversion software like Google's Nik Silver Efex Pro, Perfect B&W from
onOne Software, Tonality Pro from Macphun and B&W Effects from Topaz Labs.
You can play around with the sliders in these programs and in plug-ins, and you
may wind up with good results. However, with a deeper understanding of
black-and-white imaging, you can create a more powerful, more dramatic and more
artistic image. I'll cover the basics in this column, showing just some of the
endless possibilities that await you in black-and-white processing.
ORIGINAL
Here's the file (cropped from my RAW file) from which I created the iceberg
image.
Before we get going, however, here are some important factors to think
about as you're shooting when your goal is to create a great black-and-white
image.
SEE VALUES
You need to see in values rather than seeing colors. You also need to
envision how shadows and highlights will "play" in your
black-and-white images. As you shoot, envision how the scene will look without
color, which can be enamoring, as well as distracting (in a good way). With
practice, you'll start to see in black-and-white.
SEE THE LIGHT
Dramatic lighting leads
to a dramatic black-and-white image. In other words, strong shadows are very
important in black-and-white photography. In fact, the expression "Shadows
are the soul of the photograph" is especially important when it comes to
black-and-white photography.
Lightroom—which
I used to create this image of an iceberg in a glacier lagoon in Iceland—offers
awesome black-and-white capabilities, even when you don't use a plug-in. This
screenshot of the Lightroom Develop module shows my enhancements to my original
color file. First, I selected the B&W Contrast High preset. To add more
impact to the image, I boosted the Contrast and Blacks, and then reduced the
Highlights.
SEEK OUT TEXTURES
Textures are also very
important in black-and-white photography. Textures are emphasized by shadows,
usually created by side lighting.
FIND SHAPES, FORMS AND PATTERNS
When you combine shapes,
forms, patterns and textures with dramatic lighting, you're on your way to
creating a dramatic black-and-white image.
Technically,
here's something else to consider when it comes to black-and-white photography:
Color files can have up to 16 million different colors, whereas a grayscale
image has only 256 shades of gray. This is why considering and adjusting
contrast—the difference between shadows and highlights—becomes more critical in
black-and-white photography.
LEARN ABOUT COLOR FILTERS
Understanding the effect
of color filters is very, very important in creating the black-and-white effect
you desire. Basically, here are the effects of digital color filters on an
image:
Red:Darkens a
blue sky for a more dramatic image.
Orange:Darkens
the sky slightly more than a red filter. Like a red filter, it can also reduce
atmospheric haze.
Yellow:Darkens
the sky less than a red filter, which can be beneficial, depending on the
desired effect.
Blue:Honestly,
I've never found a use for a blue filter in black-and-white photography. In
landscape photography, it often lightens the sky too much.
Green:Lightens
foliage and slightly darkens the sky.
Infrared:Simulates,
somewhat, the effect of black-and-white infrared photography.
Experiment
with the effects of applying filters in your processing software. You may be
surprised to see how an image changes as you switch between filters.
CONSIDER CONTRAST
My iceberg image has
strong contrast—one of the elements, as I mentioned, that contributes to strong
black-and-white photographs. Strong contrast is often desired, which is one
reason to shoot in the early morning or late afternoon (as I did here) when
strong shadows add contrast to a scene.
Enjoy
your exploration of black-and-white photography. In doing so, think about
black-and-white photographer Ansel Adams' philosophy: A picture is never really
done. Go back again and again, and try different changes—even subtle ones.
Also keep
in mind what another great black-and-white photographer, Ruth Bernhard, said,
"There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in
that picture."

I use various types of pomades ranging from water-based, to petrolatum-based (which many are familiar with seeing an orange tin on the shelves), to old school (now) discontinued grease that was used to slick up the hairstyles which emulate today. And while I've used and loved several brands, Layrite has been one that has done my hair no wrong since the start! Now, when you go to the supermarket, barber shop, or beauty supply store, you'll find yourself staring at a whole bunch of different hair products. Various types of: gels, creams, pastes, waxes, pomade, sprays, tonics! Then you've got the various finishes: matte, dry, natural, wet. Also, different textures! But, since we're focusing on pomade, let's just sort you out with that...
The evolution of a photographer is rarely a linear one. We get better, we get worse, we think we’re improving but we’re not, and then with some luck and a lot of patience and practice, we actually start to produce great images. For some that last point is never reached and it’s usually due to a few common mistakes. As a portrait and fashion photographer I struggle with these mistakes on a regular basis as much as anyone else, and have included a few of my own photos as retrospective of my personal progress.
When mass printing dominated the mid-twentieth century, the number of colors in an image was reduced by replacing gradients with dots. The technique was seized upon by pop artists, like Lichtenstein and Warhol, to such an extent that it’s entered our visual language.
However, despite it being one of the simplest ways to evoke retro printing, it’s not that easy a technique to produce in Photoshop.
Happily designer MattBorchert has fixed the problem for us by providing Halftone Automater, a great set of Photoshop actions, free to download for WebdesignerDepot readers.
There are 12 distinct actions: dots, diagonal lines, and horizontal lines; each divided into small, medium, large, huge and gigantic sizes.
5 lessons fast-moving consumer goods can teach us about branding
Natalie Candy at Coley Porter Bell explains what designers can learn from the world of FMCG.
Brands need to innovate to keep up with changing consumer lifestyles and stand out from the crowd. However, often too much innovation is launched simply because it can be produced and it therefore often lacks relevance to the consumer and impact at shelf. When done well, innovation can prove hugely successful in building brands, but it has its risk with research suggesting between 70-90 per cent of innovation fails in the first year of launch.
We've picked five innovations from the world of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) that we believe have been built on solid foundations to prove a success. Those that have shaken up a category, answered a genuine consumer need, been driven by lifestyle trends, innovated through to point of sale and ultimately built brand value.
01. How to succeed where others fail
Tangle Teezer is now sold in more than 65 countries
Invented by former hair colourist, Shaun P, manufactured and made in the UK, Tangle Teezer is referred to as the 'life changing' hairbrush created to achieve what others have failed… to successfully detangle hair.
A massive success, the product is now sold in more than 65 countries and at a rate of 10 per minute and was awarded CoolBrands status this year. One to watch in haircare, its most recent launch is the first 'upright non-slip water-loving detangling hair brush'.
02. How to meet an unmet need
Nivea looked at things from the consumer's point of view
Life is busy, yet the beauty industry generally insists on adding more steps into the daily routine rather than making it easier. Nivea, thankfully looked at it from the consumer's point of view to revolutionise the body care routine.
They were aware that people only used body lotion occasionally either because there is not enough time in the morning or that they simply didn't like the feeling of a normal body lotion.
The solution was one to save time and improve the moisturising experience with the In-Shower Body Moisturiser. The range has taken a 2.8 per cent share of the body lotion category with £4m sales (in one year from launch) and has now extended into After Sun.
03. How to tap into multiple trends
Graze tapped into multiple trends to really deliver something new
Consumer lifestyles are constantly evolving and brands that are truly innovative stay one step ahead by tapping into trends and creating solutions accordingly. Every now and again a brand manages to tap into multiple trends to really deliver something new.
Graze.com achieved this and created a new phenomenon in snacking, which delivered against the trends for health, freshness, convenience and customisation. After achieving success in the UK, Graze.com launched into the US, where within a week they signed up 30,000 subscribers across 48 states and after three months smashed their first quarter targets with 100,000 new customers.
04. How to innovate through to point of sale
Developing an innovative product is one thing, but making sure it really stands out and attracts attention is another.
When Sony launched their W Walkman they threw out the rulebook and created a strategy that uniquely brought the idea to life. Rather than put a rational claim about being waterproof on the pack (which many brands would have done), they created an innovative point of sale that would create buzz about the brand. To showcase the waterproof qualities, the products were put in full water bottles in gym and pool vending machines in New Zealand creating a product display, distribution channel and talking point.
05. How to build brand value
Too much innovation is created for the sake of it, merely because the technology or product format is available. Successful innovation should drive brand value, be meaningful and relevant.
There tends to be a disappointing lack of innovation in the chocolate category beyond flavours, however in the last year Cadbury have shaken things up. Through the brand story of 'Joy', they've developed products to target different audiences with more exciting ideas, especially through Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations and Marvellous Mix-Ups ranges (a collision of sweets and chocolate to create a new confectionary experience), all the while staying true to the brand.

The Chinese smartphone maker Huawei has announced the Honor 6, a high-end model that is squarely aimed at the the competition's flagship devices, such as Apple's iPhone 5s, the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 or Sony Xperia Z2.
Mobile photographers will find the Honor 6's camera specification decent but not specifically groundbreaking. The Huawei uses the 13MP 1/3-inch IMX214 BSI CMOS sensor that we've also seen on the OnePlus One. The lens offers a fast F2.0 aperture but there is no talk of an optical image stabilization system. A dual-LED flash is also on board. At the front a 5MP unit provides plenty of pixels for self-portraits, an F2.4 aperture and wide 88 degree field of view.

With only 6.5mm thickness and the bezels surrounding the 5-inch 1080p screen measuring less than 3mm the Honor 6 is a sleek-looking device and only weighs 135 grams. Inside the Android 4.4.2 OS and Huawei's Emotion UI are powered by Huawei's own Kirin 920 octa-core chipset, which in benchmark tests has scored higher than Qualcomm's current top-end chip, the Snapdragon 805.
In terms of memory the Honor 6 offers 3GB of RAM and users can choose between 16 or 32GB of internal storage. There is also a microSD-card slot for those who need more space to store photos, music, video and other files. There is no word yet on pricing and availability.
Key Specification:
13MP 1/3-inch Sony IMX214 BSI
F2.0 aperture
5MP / F2.4 front camera
5-inch 1080p display
Kirin 920 octa-core chipset (four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores)
