admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:55:27 +0000

As a huge Simpsons fan, this is possibly the greatest thing I have ever found online. The official Simpsons Movie website has a fantastic Avatar creator that allows you to create your very own Simpsons Character.

You can fully customize your Avatar, all of the usual elements, even down to the colour of your trousers and what t-shirt you wear.

If you are a Simpsons fan like myself then I am sure you will find this as brilliant as I did!

Online Photoshop Alternative – Well Almost

So I packed everything for holiday and thought, nah I wont bother with the laptop, I just want to enjoy myself and off we went.

A week or so past and I would login to my webmail to check how things were at home and emails were coming through regarding design issues, unfortunately for me the PC I had access to had no design software, let alone photoshop.

Long story short and after much frustration I found a fantastic online programme named SplashUP although not perfect, I was and still am amazed at the online functionality this programme offers such as; Layers, multiple image editing and pixel level control. The interface will be familier to anyone that uses Photoshop and pretty straight forward to pickup.

I needed this as an online alternative to Photoshop for image creation and editing, but you can also use it to touch up photos and share dirctly with the likes of Flickr, Picasa and Facebook.

The only downside is that you can not save the files as PSD, only jpg or FXO which is specific to this programme.
