I tinker with my writing until the last minute. That habit would be dangerous, except I don’t relax until I pass one test: if someone shook me awake at 3 AM and told me to deliver tomorrow’s wedding ceremony, could I do it? Here’s what clearing that bar buys you.
The Adobe Creative Cloud application is the company’s sole method for installing and updating its software suite. Clicking its update button is supposed to work smoothly, but mine always stops during the update with a U44M1I210 error message:
I used to recommend that my clients register or renew their domain names for as long as their domain registrar allowed. Now? One year at a time!
Can you have too much white space in your graphic design? I doubt it! This is an excellent example of using white space on a billboard design. The Louis C.K. HBO special is the ONLY ad I actually remember from Times Square!
Facebook now supports higher-resolution photos and also offers a “full screen” mode to display them.
Which pocket digital camera is the best? That’s easy: the one you have with you. My personal choice is an iPhone 4S because I always carry it with me. And if I want to ensure a steady shot, I use a tripod and remote shutter release. This is how I set it up.
Global smartphone penetration is 27% as of November 2011. Continued upside potential for design and development of mobile website and apps.
When Speaker John Boehner announced that a deal was reached to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, he issued what’s being called a “PowerPoint document” to summarize the framework. Setting aside the merits of the content, the presentation design was awful.
Sometimes an image is too big for a single PowerPoint slide. Rather than shrink it down or just divide it up, here’s how to spread the image across multiple slides and smoothly animate its appearance. This is a very effective way to present graphic information in a timeline.
Here's how to create custom web page bookmark icons for your iPhone's home screen. 1. Make your custom icon by creating a 114 x 114 pixel graphic image at 72 pixels/inch. Just make it a simple square -- the iOS will round the corners and add a nice reflection effect. 2. Save the graphic in PNG format with the name: iphone-touch-icon.png 3. Upload this image to the root directory of your web site. 4. Now on your iPhone, open the web page you want to bookmark in Safari. Touch the middle button at the bottom of the screen, then touch Add to Home Screen. 5. Give it a name then touch the Add button. 6. That's it! Your custom icon will now appear on your iPhone home screen.
On three consecutive evenings last week, the International Space Station (ISS) passed over my hometown of Buffalo, New York shortly after sundown. The sky was clear each night and the weather was unusually pleasant for mid-November in Western New York! My objective was to shoot still photos and a short video of the ISS going overhead. On Thursday, November 11, 2010, I set up my Canon EOS REBEL T2i on a tripod. Turning off the auto focus and image stabilization, I focused manually to infinity. Once the ISS appeared I was able to easily capture several shots using different settings. Here is one shot at ISO 640, f/5.6, with the shutter open for 8.0 seconds. The next evening, I tried to shoot video of the ISS using a Canon VIXIA HF200 HD video camera. Unfortunately, my handheld technique produced a lousy result. Against a black sky, the ISS did not look like it was moving the way it appears to the naked eye. It was just wobbling around inside the frame because of my difficulty holding...
I've recently designed a new website for actress Brooke Lauren, who appeared on VH1's popular docu-soap, Secrets of Aspen.
