Photoshop/Illustrator: Inspirational Political Poster

Stumbled upon an awesome Photoshop/Illustrator guide last night, decided to take a crack at it. This should be relatively familiar from the Obama campaign posters in 2008.

Create an Inspirational Vector Political Poster:
http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/create-an-inspirational-vector-political-poster/

It’s a really good tutorial, the author clearly listed each step required. I kinda underestimated the effort required to do this one, but I stuck it out. Ended up taking me 5 or 6 hours to do, there’s quite a bit of tedious work involved in tracing all the different images of your head to get the desired effect.

Here’s the photo the author used in his tutorial, along with the finished product:

Here’s my crack at it, despite never having used Illustrator before…

Fantasy Football: Week 1 Recap

Hello Fantasy Footballers. Week 1 is coming to an end tonight, and over here at CC we got a full week 1 recap for ya.

Division 1

First up, we got Char-broiled vs Cowboys.

This one was basically over since 1964. Matt did not have a single player even score in the double-digits. Damn kid, must be rough.

To top it off,  Matt benched Tolbert who had a phenomenal game against the Vikes. Put up a solid 27.3 points. So give Matt a big thumbs up next time you see him. McFadden still to play, but clearly the broiled Char’s don’t have a prayer.

Nice W for the Chubbster. *begin sarcasm* Hey Adrian, did you catch last nights game? *end sarcasm*. #quaterbacksBetterThanRomo was trending on Twitter today.

@PalmBayniansFFL @AMcK23 @Shane_Frey @Skrypt @figs_33 @DTmets18 early season team overhaul for me

Yeah. You think?

Next, we got Pete Chubbs and Ashley Hamel vs LARRY CSONKA.

Tough break Kev, who would have thought Cam would set a record for a rookie quarterback showing? Coulda used that extra 35.68 points the Auburn kid put up. Atleast you got a good trading piece out of the whole ordeal. For now, it seems the particularly awkward manasia twa will take the W this week. Good work Quigs.

Division 2

Crownersville USA vs ShievaCapturer.

Well, this one is heading to MNF for a final decision. Zack still has Tom Brady & Janikowski to play, and the projections have Zack for the W. Cory has more to worry than keeping his lead however, both Freeman & Jackson left the game on injuries, so he’ll be scouting the waiver wire this week for sure. Good luck gentlemen.

First 2 Time Champ vs Johnny Hammersticks.

We got ourselves a nail-biter here. The self proclaimed 2 time champ took a crushing blow last week as it was announced Peyton Manning underwent surgery and is basically out for the entire season. The rest of the league looked on with puzzled expressions during the draft when Dome took Manning early despite posting a smoke-screen of articles on the fantasy page warning about Peyton’s status. Way to heed your own advice sir, nicely done.

Dan took the early lead putting up a solid showing with 92.68 points. Dome trails about 10 points going into MNF, where he will await Marshall’s performance. But for now they can both be happy the Jets pulled out a win last night.

PS: Dan, you might wanna re-evaluate your D. #JustSayin

Division 3

PampWillBoneYa vs Can we skyber tonight.

Well shit, someone is gonna walk away pissed off from this one. Both putting up triples digits going into MNF, with 2 to play for myself and 1 for Joseph. As a numbers guy, I gotta think I have a good shot at taking this after closing the gap on Sunday to under 10 points. Joe got a great showing out of Stafford and I can’t complain with the performance from my two RB’s. Anything can happen on MNF though, so we’ll have to wait and see which of us comes out on top.

Glockmar vs Los Ganadores.

Well happy fucking birthday Shane (I thought birthdays were only for Cory?). Where do I start with this one? Pepe elects to start inactive Arian Foster, clearly a pro move. Meanwhile, Skynet (Shane the Terminator) gets one of those special +5 point bonuses with Drew Breezy. It was downhill for Glockmar after that, getting subpar performances out of his entire squad. Good thing he’s already paid up. Nice W Shane.

True Story: Shane could have only started his QB, RB-2, and TE and still won.

Oh hey guys, get it? Glockmar. It’s a glock and lockmar… I made it up myself, get it??? I know, don’t be jealous of my skills.

@Figs_33: @Shane_Frey @PalmBayniansFFL @Skrypt @dtmets18 correction Pete elects to start inactive arian foster”

 

And finally I leave you all with some words from Mr. Frey, who so eloquently summed up this week:

@juiceboxguy321 @palmbayniansffl @amck23 @skrypt @figs_33 @dtmets18 nice score..you and pete should compete for who sucks more at life

 

- Carson out.
