Many thanks and a couple of cool links
Brendan Dawes is the winner of Layer Tennis’s first match.
Layer Tennis says, “we’ve awarded the win from Friday’s Match to Brendan Dawes based on the strength of the serve, volley 5 and his idea to repurpose match elements into downloadables in real time.”
To read about Brendan’s experience check out his story, Massacre on Friday the 13th.
The wonderful gal over at iresearched has given me a blog award. Thank you Anna Aron for including me in your list of bloggers that you think deserve some attention.
In other news, I came across a post for a site that I consider to be Photoshop in a tiny box. The site allows for some pretty cool effects you can apply to your photos for a quick and easy way to jazz them up. Check out Popcornmasala’s post and images. I went to the site and used the Warholizer to create my own pop art photo. The Web site is called Big Huge Labs.
A while back I wrote about innovative uses of typography and got a really cool Web site called Advertising Is Good for You left to me in a comment. I wanted to give it a bit more prominence and share it with you all. The site has a series of ads for a newspaper that create people out of type. I’ve posted their typographic image of Marilyn Monroe. If you check out the site you can also see James Dean and others. Thanks Dane for showing me this.
