Man decorates basement with $10 worth of Sharpie - Health & When Charlie Kratzer started on the basement art project in his south Lexington home, he was surrounded by walls painted a classic cream. Ten dollars of Magic Marker and Sharpie later, the place was black and cream and drawn all over. There are fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, Winston Churchill lounging with George Bernard Shaw — and the TV squirrel Rocky and his less adroit moose pal Bullwinkle. Says Kratzer of his cartoon of a cartoon: "You appreciate the cleverness more as an adult." There's Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. There are both The Walrus and the Carpenter (from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There), and William Shakespeare. Says Kratzer, 53, the associate general counsel for Lexmark: "People are amazed that with something as simple and inexpensive as a Sharpie, you can decorate a whole basement." How did this Sharpie world start? Kratzer started mid-wall, with the Salon by Picasso.
VRay HDRI Lighting Tutorial - VISCORBEL I recently got all the equipment necessary for creating my own high quality HDRIs (not cheap and a bit frustrating at first). This seemed like a perfect opportunity to create a tutorial on HDRI lighting in VRay. I’ve seen a lot of methods and tutorials over the years: HDRI Map in Environment slotVRayDomeLight with a textureVRayDomeLight + VraySunVRayDomeLight with a manually painted in bright spot for sharper shadowsVRayDomeLight with HDRI Gamma lowered *HDRI Map in Environment does not give a high quality result and sometimes causes bright spot glitches. In the end I settled for a combined workflow – VRayDome Light + VRay sun for precise shadow control + Gamma changes for controlling contrast of the background. This method takes a bit more time to set it up, but once you understand how it works, it’s not so hard. If you are looking for high quality HDRIs Click Here!

Don’t own a copy??!? Comments ( 6 ) Leave A Comment Archives Diseño Mexicano | Chilanga Banda Sin duda, el diseño en México es algo que sobra. No sólo a gráfico, taambién en industrial, textil, interiorismo y en arquitectura, además de que tiene una larga tradición. Hace algunos días publicamos un post sobre la visita de Lance Wyman a México, quien tiene una relación muy especial con el país pues el fué el encargado de crear la imagen gráfica de las Olimpiadas de México 68, la iconografía del Metro entre otros. Si bien Lance es importante para México, también hay muchos talentos que deberían de ser de igual importancia. Tomemos por ejemplo a Gabriel Mtz. En diseño industrial tenemos a Ariel Rojo, que si bien no suena conocido, ha tenido importante participación en la ciudad, ya que fué integrante del equipo ganador del concurso de Rehabilitación de la Plaza de la Constitución. En arquitectura tenemos a dos grandes exponentes, que marcaron la pauta para muchas generaciones y cuyos diseños siguen siendo fuente de inspiración: Luis Barragán y Ricardo Legorreta.

TEKTUM | Stone House Architecture In the near vicinity of Cluj-Napoca, south of the city, where twenty years ago there were only a few villas, a camping and a lot of tranquillity, spreads Făget forest, traditional recreation and leisure space for the city’s inhabitants. Undoubtedly, the explosion of real estate business and the lack of green spaces in the city had caused a radical transformation of the area in the last years. The only hope for it to regain its original tranquillity was to introduce Făget area in the ecologic network of preservation “Natura 2000 (Nature 2000)”. In such context, our office has received the task to design a house on a corner plot of only 441m2 and a 3.5m subsidence in length, for a young dynamic couple, which considers living next to nature to be much more important than the conveniences offered by living in the city. The house was conceived as being the articulation of two distinct volumes: the stone box and the wood, glass and plaster volume.
How to Get a Professional Look With Color What makes a design look coordinated, planned and professional? The answer is: ‘color’. Not every project needs bland corporate blue to look professional. Planning color means creating a framework that describes which colors to use and how to use them. Color is the slipperiest design element. “Good” color is so closely tied to elusive things like personal taste and intuition, as well as technical considerations such as contrast and monitor calibration. But color is vital to content. In this article we’ll review some techniques to achieve beautiful color palletes for your web designs. The best way to make a website look unplanned is to choose its colors at random. Even when visitors skim a website’s home page for the first time, the colors influence their attitude towards the content. Color affects how people interpret what they see as much as typography. Finding the right colors isn’t easy, but the process can be systematic. Let’s say you’ve been asked to design a professional website. Tips
