Polyvore 2

This is my Robin Hood outfit. I am kind of addicted to this website.

Polyvore

I recently found a really cool site called Polyvore.
It is a website where you can create outfits. I have only created one so far, but plan to create much more. There are tons of designer clothing items in a data-bank, and you basically just find all the pieces you want, and that creates a set. Then you can create multiple sets, to create a collection. It is a lot of fun! My first creation is here: It is sort of semi-costume-y, but I like it. I sort of like outfits that seem costume-y. But maybe that's just because I love dressing up. This one, obviously, is Little Red Riding Hood. On the site, people sort of overlap their clothing items, but I kind of like it spaced out more. Anyway, y'all should get on there, create an account (super fast and free), and make some outfits! We can share, it'll be cool. =)

Union Jack


This is an assignment I finished this morning at 3:30. We are supposed to pick an object, and then pick small pictures to make up the large object, using photoshop.
The requirements were:
-No Illustrations.
-No Black and White
-Preferably make the edges sort of blur. Don't make the edges very straight and literal.
-12x12, meaning 144 images
-No altering colors
My professor said it should've taken about 15 hours, but when I counted up how much time it took me, it was about 30. =(! But in the end, I think it was worth it. Of course, I chose to do the good ol' Union Jack.

edit: Trick- while looking at the screen, step away from the moniter about three steps, and you can see it clearer.
