This is a Simple widget which enables the user to select the color for their chosen car, if you got in here without reading my previews articles on color manipulation and bitmap conversion, I recommend you read them first. Our goal in here is to re-create the concept which we created on my previews article about color manipulation, and import a class called color transform to make a dynamic color selection, we will be using the layer mask that we created on my bitmap conversion tutorial and the same Toyota Aygo as our model.

Then grab a nice wedding photo, I also found one on flickr which by chance fits the theme perfectly. Read more...

We used to see this icon on a lot of DVD's and CD's, there is a T for teens, E for everyone, M for mature and A for adults, it was the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) content rating icons, this icon was so simple yet where ever you paste it what ever the background color was, It magically fits any theme.

After I decided not to post anything because of sluggish server struggling for almost 2 weeks I finally came back, and now I'm going to teach on how to convert a green landscape into a semi winter, we don't have winter season here so I don't really know how it looks like but I guess this is more like it so bring out some photos and we are going to transform those into winter landscape.

If you are into graphic and web design I'm sure you've bumped into something like Raster and Vector images, photograph are example of Raster images, they are also known as bitmap or Jpegs, the original animated cartoon on it's raw file are actually a vector base but when they are converted into a movie file they became raster images.

When your client can't provide a vector base logo or even a high resolution raster base format everything seems to be delayed, sometimes they have it hand drawn on a paper and you are asked to recreate it digitally, and its a big time lag. (unless it was really part of the job.)
