city of Melbourne’s logo options that are floating around Australia? Click here to visit their gallery.
Young, fresh, colorful and a logo that the city’s citizen can be mighty proud of.

Free Friday Mini Fashion Webinar – Watercolor in Photoshop
Finally having a moment to play with my new Wacom Intous tablet, I used a new Photoshop CS5 feature which can turn any image into a watercolor painting.
It is quite a relaxing experience. It takes a while because you have so many options from which bristle brush to use, how wet your brush is, which color to mix in and you can undo any little smudges that you don’t like. Unlike in real life watercolor paintings.
Scroll down for images of the process. I took the painting into Illustrator to create some additional intricate artwork with it.

| When: Friday, April 8, 2011 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM PDT |
| Any smartphone can install a free app like barcode scanner for android or qr reader for i-phone. I have seen simple tee-shirts with a screen printed QR-code to knitted QR-codes on scarves. Check out the dress by designer Sam Trout that features a cyber treasure hunt by clicking here. Advertisers in Magazines for different target audiences like Vogue or Seventeen are using the codes to drive traffic to their promotions and contests. Other magazines let you discover more details of their stories such as behind the scenes video footage or more photos of products. Fashionablymarketing.me reported in 2010 about Calvin Klein using a giant QR code on a billboard on Sunset Blvd. that let customers view a short add on their phones. |
