  1. My Corel Draw Design Contest Entries

    Smoke is not vector. It was at one time, but it was just a series of gray abstract shapes that that I converted into a bitmap and then used the blur effect. The girl is all hand (or mouce) traced in vector. I don't think I can get my auto trace to do that. And yeah it is made up of...

    My brother and I were at Wendy's the other day, and the guy behind the counter asked if we would like dine out or carry in.

    The finalist have been selected: http://coreldraw.com/media/44/default.aspx Here are my entries: http://coreldraw.com/media/p/132736.aspx http://coreldraw.com/media/p/130799.aspx The quality of the images on that site aren't very good though. They exported the jpgs with the anti-aliasing...

  5. Blogging... what's that like?

    I've been working on my new site for quite some time. I get close to finishing it, then go a different direction, and try new things. I'm okay with this because I learn new things each time. and our main site is still up and going and does a good job, so I can afford to do that. But what I'm...
  6. Blogging... what's that like?

    1. I can think of several different benefits to displaying recently added material to the top of your page. Not sure why you can't. 2. No one proposed that a blog is more valuable then "x" so their is no argument to that stawman. However I standby my statements that it can successfully be...
  7. Blogging... what's that like?

    Here is a nice example of a way to do a blog: http://imaginationcorporation.com/journal/ It is case study-ish yet still in chronological order. But as a potential client, this would be good content to see. It's also helpful to the rest of us in this industry to see blogs like this too, not...
  8. Blogging... what's that like?

    LOL. Didn't realize we were speaking of only "traditional blogs". Well if that's the case, then my advice to signmeup is to not create a "traditional blog".
  9. Blogging... what's that like?

    I have found that when it comes to blogs, just like any other website, they are as limited or as successful as the content and work you put into it. Jim may be right for some people. A blog may not be worthwhile for everyone. But just like anything else if you want people to see your blog...
  10. Vector / Vexel inspiration (cool stuff)

    I'm pretty sure those were all hand done (well by hand I mean without trace software). Trace software can't get those results. It takes a human touch.

    I agree with you adrock. We don't use it as much any more because we prefer to use Wordpress now to build sites. You can use flash with Wordpress, but the whole point for us using wordpress is so that our customers could easily access the content of their site. It is possible for the customer...

    This is where I disagree with you. Years ago there was no alternative to flash that is capable of doing all the things flash can do... there still isn't. html5 is not where it needs to be to replace flash. I've heard people say this before, but I think they seriously underestimate the...

    The other bottom line is that out of the top 1 million sites (according to alexa) that were counted over 27% of all websites use flash in some form or another. http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cp-flash/all/all Developers are getting with the program but this won't be an overnight switch...

    Squeegee, To address your original point: You make it sound as though using flash was an irresponsible "gamble" on the part of developers, as if Apple sent out a newsletter years in advance warning people that they would be developing hardware that wouldn't support an already popular format, "be...

    Yeah I've been hearing about wallaby. This is definitely a step in the right direction for html5, as this would be a more realistic option for someone like me and others who appreciate the GUI developer tools that is adobe flash professorial. To date, nothing comes close to what adobe has to...

    Why not cater to both? I agree, they should make a product to cater to end users, so why not include flash playback on their devices? It's not like it can't be done. And being stubborn and holding on to flash, has nothing to do with it. most developers are attempting to learn html5. It will...

    Check out this video. It was published in 2010, but for the most part the points he makes remain true today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVjIsL8qwNw&feature=related This is also a great article/study if you have the time to check it out...

    I find it funny how all apple ipad users have instantly become flash and html5 experts. Is flash a resource hog??? well that depends... compared to what? If you were to compare multimedia flash content with a static html website, then yeah it uses more resources. But developers are finding...

    You could look at it another way: Is it the developers and designers fault for not predicting that a piece of hardware would be release without a feature pretty darn common on a lot of other devices that are great for browsing the net? Or is that hardware manufacturer's fault for not finding a...
