From the Wonderfull World of Mandy

Ok so my wonderfull friend Mandy has opened my eyes to some interesting things via her blog http://misscapulet.blogspot.com/

Firstly is deviantART: http://deviantart.com/
Its really great to browse and this is my favourite pic so far












Next is Cyanide and Happiness - a comic strip at http://www.explosm.net/comics/archive/
Its not everyday that something online makes you laugh out loud. This is so great! I think Kashan would really appreciate it (thats a warning). Heres a taste:

Enjoy!

CD Inspiration:

I love graphics like these. They are very popular these days, u see hem everywhere and i love them. This is where i got a bit of inspiration from 4 my CD cover. I didn't quite live up to my muse! But hey, I did it quite quickly this evening, so its good enough.

CD Cover

Ok so this is my CD cover for my work in the Photoshop elective: Dont know what I think of it? At first i was going to do something a bit more photo-oriented, like having many photos which contained the shapes we needed to use (like a spiral staircase as the spiral or a triangular truss for the triangles). But that turned out to be very involved and i didn't really like how it was turning out. So then i remembered the graphics on a CD cover from SL magazine and the type of graphics they use in their mag and the more stylized design came about.

Now its really cheesy and a bit trashy: but I have always favoured a little kitch in my life. So there it is, the longest explanation ever for a CD cover!!!

(I just stumbled across the star shape tool in photoshop, like most of its tools, and decided it was to appropriate to not use it, and thats where the extra tack come in to my design).
