Photos of Moscow and Surroundings by Marc Riboud, 1960s At Raven, we experiment a lot. We consider our projects as our own version of skunkworks. Sometimes the experiments are driven by mere curiosity, while others are meant to see how far we can push the boundaries of a service. All of our experiments have one common element, problem solving. When we first created the kl.am URL shortener, we did it to solve a problem. At the time, there wasn’t an SEO friendly shortener that supported campaign variables (now referenced as tracking tags by Google). Campaign variables are great, because you can assign a source, medium, and name, like Twitter and/or Social Media Campaign. So campaign variables is the main reason we built kl.am, period. Several months after we debuted an SEO friendly URL shortener that supported campaign variables, many existing and new shorteners added them to their service. With the mass support of campaign variables, it wasn’t necessary for us to keep kl.am running. Spammers use of kl.am became epic.

6 Quick’n’Dirty Photoshop Text Effects From Scratch Photoshop is great for embellishing display text with little effects. When you add layer styles into the equation, you have the added benefit of the styles being easily transferable. In this tutorial I'll show you how to make six different effects using just layer styles. All six of these effects use just layer styles. Quick Gold Text There are a lot of ways to make "gold" text. The font we're using here is Trajan—a very elegant typeface that suits gold text. First the top layer, which is made with the usual suspects—a bevel, a gradient overlay, and so on. This is the layer that gives the depth to our letters. There are a lot of ways to make "gold" text. 3D Metallic Text This effect is actually just a variation on the gold text. To try something slightly different, I also applied a text warp. Now if you apply a Bulge to one of the layers, but not the other, you get a slight distortion that looks neat. DoubleType All there is to do is apply two bits of layer styling: HyperColor Thin Metal Digg

It's real stable on the water and handles like a dream. Will swap for all sorts of stuff except Sealegs (which aren't proper amphibious cars really are they?

Easy Casino Style Sign in Photoshop A few weeks ago while walking on the streets of NYC, I saw this big billboard of a movie called Burlesque ( What really caught my attention was the effect applied in the text, sort of those old signage that casinos used to have. I loved that effect and thought it would be a good exercise trying to do that in Photoshop. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a very nice light effect using basic filters, layer style, blend modes and some stock photos. Step 1 Open Photoshop and create a new document, the size I'm using is 1113x1440 pixels. Step 2 With the text layer selected go to Layer>Layer Style>Drop Shadow. Step 3 Now to add some depth to the text use Inner Shadow first. Step 4 Let's use Bevel and Emboss to add some nice 3D effect to our text. Step 5 In case your text is not the sort of dark pink I'm using you can use Color Overlay to change that. Step 6 Now let's add a stroke, again follow the values below and for the color, I used #6f0022.
