Create a Red Giant Star in Photoshop When a star like our own reaches the end of its life, it begins to run out of hydrogen fuel in its core. Like a car running out of gas, it will begin to sputter, swelling to a size that could encompass every planet in our solar system out to Mars. When this happens, the sun will swallow the Earth and will spell certain doom for all life on our planet. Tutorial Assets The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial. Step 1 - Creating Our Brushes This step is very important, we will be using these brushes and this brush creation process extensively throughout not only this tut, but through the whole series. Now let's trace with the lasso tool the features we want to include in the brush, just set the feather of the lasso tool to around 50px so we get a nice soft edge. Next do a copy and paste on to a new layer so we get our selection out of the background. Perfect; next invert the image and erase any dark border softly with a big soft brush. Step 2 - Sun Texture

Результаты немало удивили исследователей ( см. таблицу). Треть ( 32%) респондентов считает, что Солнце вращается вокруг Земли. Причем годом ранее так считали 28% наших соотечественников. 62% ответили на элементарный вопрос верно. 6% — вовсе не нашлись что ответить. А 20% уверены, что полный оборот вокруг Солнца Земля совершает за один месяц. 76% россиян полагают, что центр Земли горячий. 78% знают, что кислород, которым мы дышим поступают из растений. В том, что атомы меньше электронов, уверены 18% россиян. В том, что первые люди жили в ту же эпоху, что и динозавры, не сомневается 29% россиян. 46% считают, что антибиотики убивают вирусы так же хорошо, как и бактерии. 26% полагают, что лазер работает, фокусируя звуковые волны.
Deezer Сделано в России! Сайт о производстве в России - Главная - Пластилиновый источник витамина С — Look At Me — поток «DIY» В детстве каждый из нас лепил из пластилина. Кто-то больше любил кошечек, кто-то делал домики, у кого-то были целые города. Мы выросли, и почему-то перестали лепить, и кошечек, и собачек. У нас нет времени, а фантазии хватает, лишь на то, что бы показать младшей сестренке, как делать человечка и спросить, почему у нее получилась зеленая морковка . Мы позабыли о всех возможностях и прелестях этого увлекательного и интересного занятия, забыли о том насколько этот материал уникален, что можно создать все, что придет в голову: зеленую морковку, мутанта с тремя ногами, розового цыпленка, любая идея, может стать реальной в пластилиновом мире. Но оказалось все более оптимистично, и есть, те для кого, это настоящее искусство, дело жизни и источник заработка. Это ссылка на сайт женщины, которая этим занимается.

Creative Characters interview with Michael Doret, January 2011 He started up his foundry Alphabet Soup seven years ago, and has published one typeface family a year on average. But what typefaces they are! With up to 2000 glyphs per font, and endless ways of using digital technology to emulate hand-lettering, his fonts are clearly the work of a seasoned scriptmeister. Indeed, before entering the font business, Michael Doret was already a household name in the design world, producing iconic designs for the likes of The New York Knicks, KISS and TIME Magazine. Having learned the trade under the guidance of no less a guru than Ed Benguiat, this month’s interviewee has been a one-man force in lettering and logotype design since the mid ’70s. These days his partners in type are designers like Stuart Sandler, Patrick Griffin and Mark Simonson. Michael, you grew up in Brooklyn, not far from the amusement park in Coney Island. I didn’t realize what an incredible influence growing up in Brooklyn in the ’50s and ’60s was to me until a couple of years ago.
Cellphone cops make 'joke' of law A senior police officer has condemned colleagues for using their cellphones while driving, saying it is a joke to go out and enforce the law when officers appear to be readily flouting it. Another officer has been caught on camera talking on his cellphone at traffic lights. He was filmed by a motorist in West Auckland on Thursday. "I wound down the window and started recording, I was yelling out trying to get his attention," said the motorist, who did not want to be identified. The motorist sent the footage to the Herald after seeing a similar photograph in Friday's paper showing a man believed to be an officer talking on his cellphone on the Southwestern Motorway. Staff at police national headquarters were not convinced the man was an officer and said that, either way, there were provisions in the law allowing officers to talk on their cellphones if it was within the execution of their duties. "That is definitely a police officer." - NZ Herald
