Advocacy Poster

Image by thewikiman
This is my hectoring library advocacy poster! The point is that if someone asks you about libraries and you don't give a good account of yourself and your profession, you aren't just abstaining, you're actually doing damage.

Let's change people's perceptions. Put this poster up online! Feel free to use this where-ever and whenever, with attribution.

1 source tile from source-image

Image by PhotoComix_Mandala
Here i modify the source image to create the tile to be used to compose all other variants

How to is simple: the original layer was duplicated twice

Then 1 duplicate flipped vertically and his layer mode changed in "difference", that to create more complex and intricate effect as Background

The second duplicate on top was just set in
To "lighten Only"

That add all the lighten effect in the foreground

This was for illustrate this tutorial

Sharpened it using a High Pass Sharpening technique I learned in our camera club. This works in photoshop. I haven't tried it in gimp.

Steps:
1. Copy background image
2. Choose Filters -> Other -> High Pass
3. Select a suitable radius that shows the outline
4. Apply
5. Change the blending mode of the high pass layer to Overlay.
6. If you think you oversharpened, just reduce the opacity of the High Pass layer :)

Orange Hibiscus

I put this on a tabletop and used a fluorescent studio light from the side and a black background behind it. I took four manual exposures, with only the focus changing in each one, and then combined them in Photoshop CS4. I've seen this technique referred to as "focus stacking". It certainly provides more depth of field than the lens is capable of in a single shot.

To see more images on which I've used this technique, please see my Maximum Depth of Field set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157624044378381/

World Airline Routes

----------------------------------

World passenger airline routes. Data from Google Maps, Airlineroutemaps, and individual airline websites.

The map is generally correct, but not specifically correct. Planes can, and do, follow various routes. The level of traffic indicated is based on the number of airlines flying the route, not the total number of flights on the route. Also, routes are the most recent I could find, but many are still not current. Airlines make minor changes to their routes all the time.

This is not an original idea, many others have created similar maps, but I think this is the nicest. Hope you like it.

Created with Adobe Illustrator.

Updated Feb 27, 2009. Background now white, fixed inconsistent appearance in some places, higher quality export from Illustrator, more manageable size.

Updated March 5, 2009. Flickr rendering was making the image fugly. Changed background to 2% gray, seems to be fixed. If you want a white background, open it in your favorite image editor and lighten it slightly.
