MS Power point & graphics !

Image
Using Micosoft Power point for creating graphics. If one has an imagination and a bit of creativity than one can use Microsoft POWER POINT 2007 for creating really cool graphics or icons. it's default effects are very easy to apply and you don't need to be an expert on graphics. these glossy effect are hard to create in otherwise Graphics creating software. here are some icons I made using PPT default shapes and applied effects. If you are willing to explore Power Point further than you can customize most of the shape and effects. here is one symbol I designed using PPT. I wanted this web.2 glossy feel in here. it was very easy to find this look in PPT. If I had to do the same thing in Flash, photoshop or some other software I could have had hard times. So, go explore and try your hand at MS Power point.

Religare a big fraud!

Religare might be a trusted company for some but my experience has been really bad with this brand. They have the most polite executive to lure, but after you end up buying any of their services, it becomes a total nightmare. I was never a brand freak nor did I have any intentions to buy a D-mat account. My office mate Sharad Mante might have asked for D-mat account and thereby, given my reference to the executive on his insistence. My friend found the executive quite honest and trustworthy and advised me as well to take a D-mat account. Due to his advice, I finally gave up on my rigid plan for not to fall for marketing executives and buy anything. So, one of their person came with the required forms to get it signed. One of the funny part is that these people choose a time when you are in your office and don’t have time to read their microscopic printed description. Due to which, one agrees and trusts the person who sounds polite and tells you, "Sir you just sign here we will

Kambakkhat Ishq: giving it back to them!

Image
Kambakkhat Ishq the new Bollywood flick which has all the hot stars but got very poor reviews from most of the reviewers. Times of India says it a no brainer of all time from Akshay Kumar. Most of the reviewers forget all stressed up people don’t want to pay for serious and preachy films. They want to shut their always conscious self and enjoy the gags. Will you review Tom and Jerry in with the same stick? You cannot! It defies all the known rules of cinema of real life. I think we should do the same with this film. And, if we really want to decode real serious stuff then I think. This film has reversed all and taken revenge from Hollywood. Our talented actors have been wasted and joked around in most of the Hollywood film they feature in. Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt. Ltd had done the same thing to Hollywood talent in this film. They used best of the actors from Hollywood and used them for side role making them a funny elements of the bollywood masala. Though, we have not

Pixel Art (पिक्सॅल आर्ट )

recently one of my friends asked me about the pixel art. I did not know much about it. He said, you are working in a Animation And Game design company and don't know about pixel art. this was really embarrassing situation for me. So , I did some google search and read about it on wikipedia. Pixel Art definition according to wikipedia: Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software , where images are edited on the pixel level. Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer and video games, graphing calculator games, and many mobile phone games are mostly pixel art. wikipedia link to pixel art: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_art then, there is a tutorial blog by Arjan Westerdiep which really cleared most of my doubts about the Pixel Art. I wanted to show you some of the images from his blog but it would be copy right infringement so I will just post the link here, please go and explore. http://www.drububu.com/tutorial/index.ht

displaying your .swf (Flash) files in blog

Image
I was really frustrated with trying to show off my Flash Files (.swf) on my blog. there is hardly any blog service which allows you to host and display your flash files. still it is a big problem, though there are loophole short cuts which will help you to display your flash files. my office mate Rahul given me a code which could embed swf files the only thing you need to have file hosting url. here is the image of the code, I am sorry! I could not give you it as text because as soon as I post it in the blog post area it recognizes it as a code and starts working as embedding code. red coloured areas are where you type down host url and define the file's width and height. here is the live example, I embedded this file using the same code: easy way out is if you have a google account then host(upload) your files @ googlepages I assume each google account holder is provided with a googlepages access. you login and go to file manager and upload your file copy the url which you will ty
