Teaser

Just wondering if someone can find this page.

Public page and it just works.

Changes in Neko (3.7.3.1)

- Sidebar having gradient style (Link and object)-

- Blog post title having gradient style -

- Wider border for the mimic of a .png image (fits the title gradient) -

- New footer for Articina blog -

Overall it is a subtle change from 3.7.3

Photoshop effects-Tutorial 1

Top notes: Combining filters with fx effects. Lets see.

I think this is quite nice, giving a soft tone though it's black and white.

Step 1.

Get a line art, tracing or drawing, as long as there's lines.

I use my traced image, created by Adobe Flash CS4 (Duh, Flash user)

Since mine does not have a background (exported from Adobe Flash), the effects are obvious later on.

Recommended: Remove any background and create a white(or colors that complement) background in a DIFFERENT layer.

Step 2.

Filter gallery. Just add the filters shown in the *picture. No need for advanced tuning or anything else.

*On the bottom right hand corner.

The filter gallery excludes my white background but it's fine for me. Though the effect is (almost) not obvious to screens, well leave it as it is.

Step 3.
-From now on it's individual pictures.

Go to the layer you are authoring on and double click to open the layer style window.

The settings are there as well.

Drop shadow

Inner glow

Satin

 Gradient (Optional)

Step 4.

Finally click Ok and poof~ it's done. Remember to fine tune if you need to.

Without fx effect, only filter.

With both filter and fx effect.

Enjoy~ =D

Looks natural and the tone is soft. This effect is made by accident, after fooling around Photoshop for 2 minutes...

First guide.

Program required: Photoshop 7.0 and above.

Program used: Photoshop CS4 Extended

Fooling with Photoshop since 2004
Self-taught too. =D

Neko {square}

The outside is just a show. Now look at the inside, image transparency, h5,h6,h7 editable independent control, manageable image size and so on.

 

And now…

 

Releasing soon.

Better then Konakanami. =3

 

BTW stupid blogger posting page got bugged, now blogging from Live writer.

kOn square design. Part 1(?)

Hmm... the number seems clear.. Lets start. =)

kOn {square} (Not referring to a certain anime) is a new design by me again. It features a few changes around and the most noticeable is the number 1, the static menu bar. It's in .png format and alpha transparency thingy. All design will be in .png, not the lousy .jpeg one.

The header and footer shadows (and of course the transparent thingy) will have a darkening effect with the wallpaper (if it's big and has various pattern of course).

I have also realized that layers ARE important in .png files. The example is the header, the person is under the box layer and woot~~ does not show up in PURE white BG.

The rest of the crap shall be posted sometime next week.

Number 3... next time I will explain.... if I could...

Currently, kOn {square}, idea stage.

New avatar... o.O

It is cute and it's done in under 3 hours (odd...). Nothing better to do during the holiday...

You can find it @ Facebook. Hehe...

Blogs updated with a whole new look.

This blog undergo some visual design upgrades and some enhancing fixes (LOL).
As well as the other blog they went the same process as this blog. Header and footer changes
Border as well. Bahbahbah.

Anyway stay tune to Code4 a.k.a Konakanami finished version.

For the preview of Code4, go to this blog (Not using finalized version).

Done by: Me =D

Not a complete copy but hey, it looks nice.

Simple thinking yet hard to do.

Odd..

Now I'm trying to find a blog skin from this website, and it seems that some (I predicted most of it), don't work with my blog, I mean in my test lab.
Now I'm stuck with my old black design (yet original =D).

Anyway if you all are asking, why do I need a skin from there for my blog, well I'm just bored with my design (very high tech yet boring), wanted to try out something new.
Lazy to make a new one also. ~_~"

I like my gallery to be animated =D

Wow?

Using flash as a tracing slave, wonders come about.
New charactor(?).
I think so(or not) =


Oh ya, blog patched, other blog don't really need as no big bugs happening.
