I went to the cubs game on saturday. Took a bus trip with my son, my dad, and one of my best friends. Great day, lots of fun, and on the bus ride home I thought about how funny it is when grown men get together and talk baseball like we are still little kids. I threw this picture together in photoshop, inspired by a poster I had when I was twelve of the 1984 cubs. That poster was a collage of watercolor illistrations, now I can do something like it on the computer in minutes!

I've just got to put down the mouse and walk away from photoshop...Here I have combined features of Paris Hilton's face with David Letterman's to see what thier daughter might look like. I know I have something better to do....

More fun with photoshop from someone who doesn't really know what they're doing, but playing with photoshop is just doggone fun!

O.J. inspired me while playing with photoshop

beginner playing with photoshop. I know I'm not the first to play with layers and the liquidizing tool, it's just too much fun

Celebrity worship gone amok! Someone help this wierdo! Painful to watch.

Ok, after checking out KRIVERA's Blog , the post with Tribe's video made me want to post a video fo my favorite hip-hop song of all time, The Roots "Seed (2.0)" But I can't!!! Universal, in a pathetic attempt to keep control fo their artists video, won't allow the video to be embeded! So I have to embed this video of a guy dancing to "Seed." Universal is clueless! Instead of promoting thier artist, now I'm promoting the guy dancing to their artist! WTF? I think this is a classic example of how giant media corporations don't know how to embrace the new media world and try and make it work for them. Oh, well. The guy dancing is pretty entertaining, and the song is great.

In Dmed 120 we have a semester long project of designing and laying out a magazine. This is my first draft of a logo for my mag. The concept is for a magazine covering the changing face of mass media. I made this quickly on freehand. This is a pretty simple logo with some fairly ordinary fonts. I really can't wait to learn how to use the more complex aspects of freehand and photoshop so I can make more sophisticated images. Anyway, let me know what you think. Also, I'm going to post some of the articles that I will use in the magazine, last year I wrote a couple of articles that will fit in pretty well... I hope.

It's mean to watch this idiot over and over again, and everyone's seen it by now and made fun of her, but... I can't help it.
