&lt;br /&gt;
Manusia diciptain sama Tuhan nggak buat hidup sendiri. Manusia udah dikodratin jadi makhluk sosial yang mau nggak mau harus hidup saling berdampingan satu sama lain, bersosialisasi, tolong menolong, gotong royong, dan lain sebagainya. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nah, kita sebagai bloger yang -mungkin- tiap harinya menghabiskan waktu buat berlama-lama di dalam kamar atau di bilik warnet yang sesempit itu, kita masih harus tetep bersosialisasi. Tujuannya adalah agar blog kita naik trafficnya eh.. punya banyak teman walopun cuma di dunia maya :) Kalo kita udah punya banyak teman, tau sendiri dong efeknya. Banyak yang kasih senyuman/senggolan/ciuman di PPC kita, barang dagangan kita laris, traffic naek, page rank naek, trus banyak deh yang ngincer blog kita buat masang iklan. Trus akhirnya apa? Ya ujung-ujungnya duit ngalir ke kantong kita. hehehe… (kapan ya aku bisa gitu?) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lanjut lagi… &lt;br /&gt;
Di dunia maya, khususnya buat bloger, banyak cara untuk bersosialisasi diantaranya: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1.      KASIH KOMEN &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Setiap kita berkunjung ke blog teman, sebisa mungkin kita kasih komen di postingannya. Karna bagaimanapun temen kita akan lebih seneng kalo postingannya dibaca dan dapet respon dari temennya. Apalagi kalo kita ketemu sama blog yang udah DO FOLLOW, kita musti sering-sering tuh kasih komen. Kita kan bisa dapet bonus back link dari blog tersebut. Bagi blog yang masih NO FOLLOW ya sebisa mungkin diubah lah jadi DO FOLLOW. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2.      PESAN SINGKAT &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sapa temen kita lewat Chat Widgetnya. Sekedar say hello, ngucapin met malem, ato ngasih kabar kalo udah nyenggol/kasih senyuman/nggiring kebo/cium (istilah para bloger yang udah klik PPC di blog tersebut). Selaen itu, di situ kita kan juga bisa sekalian promisiin blog kita ato ngajak kenalan sama temen-temen bloger laennya yang belom pernah ketemu. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3.      FOLLOW &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Biar lebih cepet tau update-an posting blog temen kita. Kita follow aja blog temen kita. Nanti saat kita masuk ke draft blog kita, kita akan tau postingan-postingan terbaru temen kita dan bias cepet kasih komen. Di sini temen kita juga seneng kalo blognya ternyata banyak followernya. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4.      TUKAR LINK &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Biar kita lebih enak ngunjungi temen-temen kita, kita ajak mereka tukeran link. Dengan tuker link kita jadi nggak repot ngapalin alamat-alamat blog temen kita. Mau blogwalking? Tinggal klik link temen kita. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;5.      AWARD/KUE/HADIAH &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ingat! Ketenaran blog kita (ciee.. kaya artis aja) nggak lepas dari peran temen-temen kita. Mereka yang udah bikin blog kita naek trafficnya, naek page ranknya, menggunung pundi-pundi tabungan kita dari blog. Jadi kalo ada waktu luang bikin award/kue/hadiah buat temen-temen kita sebagai ucapan rasa terima kasih. Tapi jangan lupa kasih link temen kita di postingan blog kita. Trus yang dikasih ya diharpkan kesadarannya buat nge-posting dan kasih link balik di postingan tersebut. Biar lebih akrab. haha.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;6.      KLIK IKLAN &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Biar lebih akrab lagi, sekali-kali waktu kita kunjungan ke blog temen kita ya bawa oleh-oleh. Karna bagaimanapun mereka pasti punya harapan PPC yang mereka pasang di blognya ada yang nyium ato nyenggol (bagi yang pasang PPC) nggak cuma sekedar pajangan. Ya sebisa mungkin (mengharap kesadarannya) yang udah disenggol ya gantian nyenggol :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nah, itulah -sementera- cara kita bersosialisasi di dunia maya. Khususnya buat para bloger. Karna aku masih baru di dunia bloger dan masih dalam tahap belajar, jadi ya masih sangat amat banyak sekali banget kekurangannya  Sebelumnya aku juga minta maaf kalo cara-cara di atas ada yang salah ato bahkan salah semua.hahahaha…. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kalo temen-temen semua punya cara laen untuk bersosialisasi di dunia maya tolong tulis caranya di bagian komen. Nanti di postingan BLOGER JUGA MANUSIA (BAGIAN 2) akan aku muat, langsung CoPas dari komen. Dan yang pasti sama alamat link/blog temen-temen. Okey sob? Aku tunggu ya. makasih.........&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/blogger-juga-manusia-bagian-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekEQ5d110PvITwH8DCjWO0_JfG0_nnQsOU5wlhNHrRvdaFtGWYRnHNjeJMlWKUshpE4x1qEnaAqUKYnrnP-g1AvzJGIs3iQU4i7TRtc9tgnUxt9abBkqw4f9fZzpsiBId01SHGbUooEEx/s72-c/istock_6680981.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>68</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-706614506551623124</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2010 05:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-08T21:16:54.047-08:00</atom:updated><title>How to create a retro-style text effect in Cinema 4D and Photoshop</title><description>&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-362&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro_final3.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro_final3&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 1&lt;/h5&gt;Open a new document in Photoshop. The size I chose is 1500×1000  pixels. Paste in the Pyramid image. Scale and rotate it (Press Ctrl+T to  activate the transform tool).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-352&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro1&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 2&lt;/h5&gt;Now we have to create a strong contrast. So duplicate the image and  set the duplicated to overlay. Duplicate again but this time set the  duplicated image to multiply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-353&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro2&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 3&lt;/h5&gt;Press Shift+alt+ctrl+E to merge all the visible layers into a new  layer. Apply to this layer a curve adjustment (ctrl+M) and a saturation  adjustment (ctrl+U)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-354&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro3.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro3&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 4&lt;/h5&gt;Lets create the text. Open illustrator and write something using the  edistys font. Now go to object&amp;gt;Expand. Save the AI file and make sure  to save as an Illustrator 3 file (3 is the software version) so that  it’s compatible with Cinema 4D.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-355&quot; height=&quot;277&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro4.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro4&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 5&lt;/h5&gt;In Cinema 4D go to File&amp;gt;Merge and open the Illustrator file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-365&quot; height=&quot;376&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro5.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro5&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 6&lt;/h5&gt;In the object window you can observe that there are 5 paths (one for  each letter). Select all the paths (hold shift to select more than one  path) and right click&amp;gt;Connect. Notice that we have created a new  path. We will work with this, so eliminate all the other layers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-366&quot; height=&quot;317&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro6.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro6&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 7&lt;/h5&gt;We have to give depth to the text. So select the Extrude Nurbs  object. Then in the object window drag the path inside the Nurb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-367&quot; height=&quot;636&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro7.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro7&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 8&lt;/h5&gt;Select the Nurbs object in the object window. Modify the caps options  from “cap” to “fillet cap”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-368&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro8.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro8&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 9&lt;/h5&gt;In the materials window add a nukei material. Then apply the material  by dragging it on the text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-369&quot; height=&quot;629&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro9.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro9&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 10&lt;/h5&gt;Double click on the material icon to open its options window and  switch the reflection intensity to 60%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-370&quot; height=&quot;466&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro10.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro10&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 11&lt;/h5&gt;Add one or more light objects (Object&amp;gt;Scene&amp;gt;Light)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-372&quot; height=&quot;336&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro11.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro11&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 12&lt;/h5&gt;Create a new material and in the colors menu upload the pyramids  image.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-373&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro12&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 13&lt;/h5&gt;Create a sky object (Object&amp;gt;Scene&amp;gt;Sky) and apply to it the last  material created. You should see something similar to this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-374&quot; height=&quot;310&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro13.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro13&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 14&lt;/h5&gt;It’s time for rendering. For the render settings follow the  screenshot below. Note that we checked “Alpha channel” and “Separate  Alpha” so that in Photoshop we could easily extract the text using alpha  channels. After have updated render settings go to Render&amp;gt;Render to  Picture Viewer and save as a Photoshop file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-375&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro14.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro14&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 15&lt;/h5&gt;Open the just created PS file. We have to extract the text: go to the  channels’ window. At the bottom there’s the separate Alpha. Ctrl+click  on this channel to select its pixels. Now switch to the layer window, go  to select&amp;gt;Inverse and press delete. The text is now isolated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-377&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro15.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro15&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 16&lt;/h5&gt;Copy and paste the text in our main Photoshop canvas. Right click on  the text layer and select Blending Modes. Add satin with the default  options.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-378&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro16.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro16&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 17&lt;/h5&gt;At this point I really hate the color. The best way to change it is  to apply a gradient map. So go to Image&amp;gt;Adjustments&amp;gt;Gradient  Map…and choose a gradient going from red to blue to yellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-379&quot; height=&quot;493&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro17.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro17&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 18&lt;/h5&gt;Now we have to increase the contrast, so apply also a levels  adjustments:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-380&quot; height=&quot;363&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro18.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro18&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 19&lt;/h5&gt;Create a new layer and switch its layer blending mode to overlay.  With a soft white brush (hardness 0%) start painting over the text to  enhance some parts of it. To make the effect stronger, duplicate one/two  times the layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-381&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro19.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro19&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 20&lt;/h5&gt;Repeat the step 20 but this time set a nice pink as foreground color&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-382&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro20.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro20&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 21&lt;/h5&gt;Paste in the folded stained paper texture. Press shift+ctrl+U to  desaturate it and ctrl+i to inverse the colors. Set the layer blend mode  to screen. Increase the contrast with the curves (ctrl+M and create a  “S” like in step 3). We are going to achieve a nice result!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-383&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro21.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro21&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 22&lt;/h5&gt;Paste in the old paper texture. Set the layer to overlay and reduce  the opacity to around 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-385&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro22.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro22&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 23&lt;/h5&gt;Create a new curves adjustments layer (Layer&amp;gt;New Adjustment  Layer&amp;gt;Curves)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-386&quot; height=&quot;484&quot; src=&quot;http://wegraphics.images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/retro23.jpg&quot; title=&quot;retro23&quot; width=&quot;528&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;Step 24&lt;/h5&gt;Press shift+ctrl+alt+E to merge all the visible layers into a new  layer. Sharpen this layer (Filter&amp;gt;Sharpen&amp;gt;Sharpen). Yes, we’ve  finished!</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-create-retro-style-text-effect.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-6066717416525064025</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-07T11:06:33.770-08:00</atom:updated><title>Image Composing: Keep Your City</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_20.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;This is an easy and quick lesson about how to create an interesting  composition for social topic using few clip art pictures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-3529&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, we need to find some appropriate pictures of hand, sky  and city. For this purposes we may use Google Images or search in stock  photo sites. So let’s start! Create a new document with size of &lt;b&gt;300×500&lt;/b&gt;  px and bring there our first picture of the sky in similar way as you  can see at the picture bellow. You may use your own picture or just use  mine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 01&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_01.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 01&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Then we add the right clip art of the hand. Also you may use your own  clip art or feel free to use   mine. Locate it as on my picture below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 02&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_02.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 02&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now it is necessary to make color correction for the hand to get  harmonious view with the background color. Use &lt;b&gt;Image &amp;gt;  Adjustments &amp;gt;Levels&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;Crrl+L&lt;/b&gt;) with the  following options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 03&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_03.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 03&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 04&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_04.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 04&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 05&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_05.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 05&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 06&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_06.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 06&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You may see the difference after correction:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 07&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_07.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 07&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now we need to add proper picture which we will put in the hand. Open  chosen clipart and bring it to your canvas. You may use my  clip art as well. Then use the &lt;b&gt;Elliptical Marquee Tool&lt;/b&gt;  and make round selection with the pushed &lt;b&gt;Shift &lt;/b&gt;to get  the proper round selection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 08&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_08.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 08&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Then press &lt;b&gt;Ctrl+Shift+J&lt;/b&gt; to cut the selected part of  image to new layer and delete the previous layer, it’s useless now. Get  back to layer with the cutted part of image and make it smaller about  35%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 09&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_09.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 09&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, then select contents using &lt;b&gt;Select &amp;gt; Load Selection&lt;/b&gt;  and apply &lt;b&gt;Filter &amp;gt; Distort &amp;gt; Spherize&lt;/b&gt; with  similar settings to these:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 10&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_10.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 10&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Your result should look as mine:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 11&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_11.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 11&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Deselect this part image with &lt;b&gt;Ctrl+D&lt;/b&gt;. Then use the &lt;b&gt;Sharpen  Tool&lt;/b&gt; and focus the sharpness:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 12&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 12&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After that use the following &lt;b&gt;Blending Options&lt;/b&gt; for  this layer:&lt;br /&gt;
• Drop  Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
• Inner  Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
• Inner  Glow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 13&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_13.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 13&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 14&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_14.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 14&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 15&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_15.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 15&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We should get the following picture as the result:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your City 16&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image_composing_16.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Image Composing: Keep Your 
City 16&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Then use the &lt;b&gt;Burn Tool&lt;/b&gt; (Brush: 80 px, Range:  Midtones, Exposure: 30%) and add some darkness the bottom part of a  circle. You may see this effect on the picture bellow:&lt;br /&gt;

I tried to experiment with photo and mix it with black lines to  simulate drawing. Would you know how to make it? Ok, then read this  tutorial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-4541&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s start by finding the picture of beautiful girl with  hairdressing. Open up the picture and desaturate it in the beginning with &lt;strong&gt;Image  &amp;gt; Adjustments &amp;gt; Desaturate&lt;/strong&gt; or press &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl+Shift+U&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 01&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_01.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on 
the Photo 01&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After that increase the contrast with &lt;strong&gt;Image &amp;gt; Adjustments  &amp;gt; Levels&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 02&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_02.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on

Photo 03&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Move to the next step. Create a new layer and fill it with white  color. After that change layer opacity for this layer to 30%. Then  select the &lt;strong&gt;Eraser Tool &lt;/strong&gt;and a soft round brush to make a  little clear work on the face area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 04&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_04.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on 
the Photo 04&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Merge two of these layers in one and start to make drawing effect.  Get out the &lt;strong&gt;Pen Tool&lt;/strong&gt; (you need to make sure that you’re  working with Paths instead of &lt;strong&gt;Shape Layers&lt;/strong&gt;). Draw out  your line using paths:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 05&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_05.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on

A little dialog box will appear as in the screenshot. Choose &lt;strong&gt;Brush&lt;/strong&gt;  and make sure there is a tick next to &lt;strong&gt;Simulate Pressure&lt;/strong&gt;.  This is important as it will give your curve tapered ends which will  make it rock!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 08&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_08.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on

the Photo 09&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now the line is hardly noticeable, but don’t worry about. Next right  click again and select &lt;strong&gt;Delete Path&lt;/strong&gt;. Try to make more  lines in the same way to outline the body and hair contours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 10&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_10.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the

Now, move to the background layer with woman’s photo and select the &lt;strong&gt;Brush  Tool&lt;/strong&gt; (use soft brush about 100 px and set brush opacity to 30%  up). Sketched the silhouette with white color a little bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the Photo 11&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full&quot; src=&quot;http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/drawing_effect_11.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Creating Drawing Effect on the

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Semua orang pasti mengharapkan rasa aman di manapun. Baik di rumah maupun di jalan saat kita keluar rumah. Tapi sekarang bagi masyarakat yang berkantong sangat tebal bisa menikmati tingkat keamanan yang lebih saat berkendara dengan mobil. BMW telah meluncurkan produknya berupa mobil anti peluru yang diberi nama BMW X5 Security. Mobil ini sebenarnya dirancang khusus untuk kendaraan kepala negara dan petinggi-petinggi lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Menurut &lt;em&gt;pressportal.com&lt;/em&gt;, BMW X5 Security ini berbahan dasar anti  peluru tertangguh. Dengan kapasitas lima penumpang yang dilengkapi  dengan kompartmen untuk senjata. Ketebalan kulitnya mencapai 22mm yang mampu menahan gempuran pistol  Magnum kaliber 44. Keistimewaan BMW X5 Security lainnya terlihat dari  bahan-bahan &lt;em&gt;hand-made&lt;/em&gt;. Tujuannya untuk menghasilkan kompartmen yang tak mempunyai titik&amp;nbsp; lemah.  Bahkan lipatan pintu dan stik percepatan juga anti peluru. Bagian ban  juga menjadi salah satu andalan BMW.&lt;br /&gt;
Pasalnya bila pun tertusuk benda tajam atau terkena peluru, ban  tersebut masih bisa menempuh jarak 30 mil dengan kecepatan 50 mil per  jam. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bila terjadi serangan frontal, si pengendara bisa berbicara  dengan si penyerang tanpa harus membuka pintu atau jendela. Tak  ketinggalan, mobil ini juga dilengkapi kamera di bagian depan,  belakang,dan samping. Menggambarkan secara lengkap bagian mobil yang  ingin dilihat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mesin BMW X5 Security berisi mesin V8 engine 4,8  liter yang bisa menghasilkan 355 &lt;em&gt;horse power&lt;/em&gt;. Serta mencapai  kecapai kecepatan 62 mil per jam dalam waktu 7,5 detik. Secara otomatis  mobil ini akan membatasi kecepatan si pengendara hingga 131 mil per jam.</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/mobil-anti-peluru.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFtOn0nynp3OVZrtaRoRFzPQ6CwNPFYWO80y8BPWnxHK7VsOiCXurSlfuVVgWziH5D8TuKwgxpui1HpbV4wiFSPpHWGh-fousrAvqd-tGGoIuFX2_ya7ylW5Am1PyjHGLDGn3WCPXyexHu/s72-c/60889_bmw_x5_security_300_225.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>15</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-3007951638004841555</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-05T11:10:25.605-08:00</atom:updated><title>CARA MEMASANG BANNER BLOG DI FACEBOOK</title><description>Aku baru aja bikin blog ini, makanya aku pengen ngenalin blog ini ke netter (blogger, facebooker, etc). Facebook termasuk salah satu media yang bagus untuk promosi blog dan aku coba buat blogwalking. Setelah blogwalking bebeapa kilometer, akhirnya aku nemu cara yang pertama yaitu pasang banner kita di facebook. caranya gampang! kita tinggal pake aja aplikasi facebook yang namanya &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2352149512&quot;&gt;MyStuff &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pertama kita login dulu ke &lt;a href=&quot;http://facebook.com/&quot;&gt;facebook&lt;/a&gt; kita&lt;br /&gt;
Kalo udah masuk, biar lebih cepet klik aja tautan di bawah ini:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/tos.php?api_key=f7667e9ebccf2157d6f15f991a5e3ce9&amp;amp;next=fbhandler.ashx%3Fut%3D%26apt%3Dwildfire&amp;amp;v=1.0&amp;amp;canvas&quot;&gt;http://www.facebook.com/tos.php?api_key=f7667e9ebccf2157d6f15f991a5e3ce9&amp;amp;next=fbhandler.ashx%3Fut%3D%26apt%3Dwildfire&amp;amp;v=1.0&amp;amp;canvas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
nanti akan tampak seperti gambar di bawah ini &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnDySg9o8WsjF94wt2fNoQIkb6ZUX80VKN_kZWhgtyiTurJSCALGQgciVfDP-TXFLxLlJH4-rr053mIzRFCe7yfmcwweVPPea3vSfRmhfJcqpdXXcTkh_pA-QtDnv4DVkdVafpZXb9ysI/s1600-h/My%20Stuff%201.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;170&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCnDySg9o8WsjF94wt2fNoQIkb6ZUX80VKN_kZWhgtyiTurJSCALGQgciVfDP-TXFLxLlJH4-rr053mIzRFCe7yfmcwweVPPea3vSfRmhfJcqpdXXcTkh_pA-QtDnv4DVkdVafpZXb9ysI/s320/My%20Stuff%201.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;klik tombol izinkan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
kalo udah masuk maka tampilannya akan seperti ini&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNoPBDod6wCW5l7NUB7Pex2MRt4LI4vrSjjV1gqkHOX9GwiZtA5NYBrN10SdlJXVhaD-KO1e_0YiwKdlJidlhwr3WukMSduzfJFJqjzR9lS6LxnM0xVV8Hxdq8XvQp-P5TtdtvCF_0yhf/s1600-h/My%20Stuff%202.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;172&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNoPBDod6wCW5l7NUB7Pex2MRt4LI4vrSjjV1gqkHOX9GwiZtA5NYBrN10SdlJXVhaD-KO1e_0YiwKdlJidlhwr3WukMSduzfJFJqjzR9lS6LxnM0xVV8Hxdq8XvQp-P5TtdtvCF_0yhf/s320/My%20Stuff%202.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Langkah selanjutnya kita pergi ke blog kita. kita copy banner yang udah kita siapkan lalu paste di My Stuff. hasilnya seperti ini&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_VT-lpmwC1lOs4BLXLXA2c-vVJc-bNKDvi3tcBWgcD9ygbvj7Cg27rAeNL06ssV_1hM9O_IuRogvu2QC6yz4uXJKY8S9Fdd6JiDIH5LGE3R9cmopiw-8HXKy82klAUR_PNsi-veLHBF3/s1600-h/My%20Stuff%203.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;172&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_VT-lpmwC1lOs4BLXLXA2c-vVJc-bNKDvi3tcBWgcD9ygbvj7Cg27rAeNL06ssV_1hM9O_IuRogvu2QC6yz4uXJKY8S9Fdd6JiDIH5LGE3R9cmopiw-8HXKy82klAUR_PNsi-veLHBF3/s320/My%20Stuff%203.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mouse Microsoft ini sarat dengan teknologi  Multitouch dan mungkin di masa depan kita sudah tidak akan mendengar  lagi bunyi “klik” di mouse komputer dan pastinya mungkin hanya jari-jari  tangan saja yang bekerja nantinya. Kali ini, Microsoft memamerkan 5  Mouse mereka yaitu FTIR Mouse, Side Mouse, Cap Mouse, Orb Mouse dan Arty  Mouse dimana masing-masing mouse mempunyai bentuk dan fungsi yang  berbeda – beda.&lt;br /&gt;

Sepuluh atau lima belas tahun lalu ponsel  masih dianggap teknologi mahal dan tidak terlalu penting kecuali hanya  untuk orang-orang berkantong tebal ataupun kaum intelektual saja. Tapi  sekarang ponsel sudah dianggap barang umum dan hampir semua orang  memilikinya. Disamping desainnyapun yang sangat beragam, segala macam  teknologi canggih dijejalkan ke dalamnya. Entahlah, apakah ponsel dengan  desain-desain aneh dan unik berikut ini akan jadi kenyataan juga.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. Ponsel Alam&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ponsel ini terbuat dari jerami alias rumput kering. Nggak nyampe dua  tahun bakalan rontok menyisakan display dan tombolnya saja. Meski  konsepnya &quot;recycling&quot; atau bisa diperbarui bagus, sepertinya ponsel ini  tidak praktis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguF6MSSEQyaqBjQ_bGvEg14XGGGKmH4Px96rHvYeWWABagLsnsbH0MSd6F1CpAlfmMXD-4DvjYkuvvjsireqFY-FqKrNEegFpXzB05ToWx7lDJcbak95I6Onidvpof3kKoS7pq_vtbcOoS/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguF6MSSEQyaqBjQ_bGvEg14XGGGKmH4Px96rHvYeWWABagLsnsbH0MSd6F1CpAlfmMXD-4DvjYkuvvjsireqFY-FqKrNEegFpXzB05ToWx7lDJcbak95I6Onidvpof3kKoS7pq_vtbcOoS/&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;Designer: Je-Hyun Kim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2. Ponsel Window&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pengen ada fitur cuaca di ponsel Anda? Nah, ponsel yang satu ini secara  prediktif sanggup memprediksi cuaca di mana saja bahkan di lokasi yang  tidak bisa diprediksi(?) Mungkin saja ponsel model begini bakalan muncul  suatu saat nanti. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;3. Ponsel Chinese Scrolls&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Display roll-out dan tombol-tombol keren yang ditempatkan pada  gulungannya benar-benar hot. Tapi repot banget gak sih kalo dipake untuk  sehari-hari? Bukan apa-apa soalnya layar displaynya yang harus  ditarik-tarik itu...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;4. Ponsel Ubin by Tzu-Fu Wang&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saat dalam perjalanan orang sudah biasa memainkan aplikasi-aplikasi dan  games di ponselnya. Bagaimana dengan ponsel yang satu ini? Yang jelas  aplikasi-aplikasinya bisa dibongkar pasang dan ada disekeliling ponsel  serta mudah diupgrade. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;5. Radia - Ponsel Lingkaran by  Michael Laut&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siapa bilang ponsel bentuknya harus kotak atau persegi? Dengan bentuk  lingkaran yang berkilauan kayaknya cocok buat selebritis kayak Julia  Perez...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_h9cpyM8AFXQS4DExnB6CdQy9hcKn05TCGzhtO8z_CI6k4X27-8wgsfLloX7dB1Bvrod5oFm8qm47EdUzrE6rXULPtcOGa5MhtXvFPlByz02458mj7bZXHaA4stsj9tVFp6LeqOIoCUl/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_h9cpyM8AFXQS4DExnB6CdQy9hcKn05TCGzhtO8z_CI6k4X27-8wgsfLloX7dB1Bvrod5oFm8qm47EdUzrE6rXULPtcOGa5MhtXvFPlByz02458mj7bZXHaA4stsj9tVFp6LeqOIoCUl/&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Berbahagialah Anda karena dalam waktu tidak terlalu lama lagi akan  banyak jenis ponsel di pasaran yang bentuk dan fungsinya mungkin cocok  dengan pribadi Anda. O, ya jangan lupa berterimakasihlah dengan para  desainer-desainer itu karena Anda makin lama akan semakin mudah  berkomunikasi dan juga semakin bergaya. Bayangkan saja kalo Anda harus  berkomunikasi dan bergaya dengan cara seperti gambar di bawah ini,  hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;

Turning a run-of-the-mill photo into a dazzling one is simple – when you know the right tricks. In this tutorial, Photoshop maestro Aeiko shows how to create a variety of light effects that can be applied to photography or illustration with equal impact. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From sparkles, pixie dust effects, coloured light spots and light beams, to using splatter effects as a form of lighting, it’s all here. Some of the tricks you’ll learn are created through cunning use of stock photography, while others make use of Photoshop’s built-in tools. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;In Photoshop, open the file model.jpg (which can be downloaded on the right or found on the magazine&#39;s cover CD). Open a new adjustment layer and select Hue/ Saturation. Drag the Saturation slider down to -100 to turn the image into black and white using the Hue slider. We’ll use our own colours in this tutorial, so we don’t need any colour in the photo at this point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/2.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Duplicate the model layer (Cmd/ Ctrl + J) and press F to activate full-screen mode. Zoom into the photo so it’s actual size (Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + 0). Use the Pen tool to trace around the model. Once you have finished, right-click (Ctrl + click) with the mouse and select ‘Create Vector Mask’. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Import paint_splat.jpg. Drag it onto the composition under the layer you made in Step 02. Then hit Cmd/Ctrl + I (this inverts the layer) and set the Layer Mode to Screen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/4.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Repeat this process with different types of splatters (you could even make your own) spread over a number of different layers. Vary some of them using Distort, Perspective and Cmd/Ctrl + T. Erase some parts of them, vary the opacity and set the Layer Mode to Screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/5.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Click on some of the layers you just created, then select Filter &amp;gt; Blur &amp;gt; Gaussian Blur. Set the radius to around 5 pixels, and arrange these on the canvas. Place some over the model, and make others seem like they’re shooting out from behind her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/6.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Import another splatter image into Photoshop. Click on Select &amp;gt; Colour Range, click on the splatter colour and set the Fuzziness to 40. Drag the selection onto the main canvas, give it a black colour overlay and arrange it on the canvas. Repeat this process a few times and erase some areas with a soft brush. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/7.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Repeat Step 06, but instead of using black for the colour overlay, use white. In Layer Options tick Outer Glow and choose a pink colour, set the spread to around 30 pixels. Repeat this process using other colours and also white outer glows; place these around the canvas above the saturation layer you made in Step 01.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/8.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 8&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Go to your brushes panel and choose a soft round brush; make the size of the brush about half the size of the canvas. Click on the canvas and arrange this into the scene. Next, duplicate the layer to make some smaller splatters, and arrange these around the model. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/9.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 9&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Repeat Step 08 to extend the light effects along the model’s leg. Hold Alt and drag, then Cmd/Ctrl + T to make it smaller. Repeat this a few times to make each consecutive loop down her leg smaller than the last. You can do this around her body too, if you wish. Use the same brush, but in black, to darken some areas of the background under the Vector Mask Layer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/10.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 10&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Select white again and create a new layer above all the others. Open the Brushes window and change the Spacing to 100%. Click on Shape Dynamics and set the Size Jitter to 80%. Set the Scattering to 440%. Start brushing areas on the canvas alternating brush diameter. Give some layers outer glows and vary the softness of the brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/11.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 11&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Import Smoke.jpg and place it on a new layer. Set the Layer Mode to Lighten. Duplicate the layer a couple of times and move it around slightly. Select Layer &amp;gt; Layer Mask &amp;gt; Reveal All. Use a soft black brush set to around 20% flow to mask of certain areas of the smoke to make it fit with the composition. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/12.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 12&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Next we’re going to create some paths, use the Pen tool to draw a smooth curve around the model. Click New Layer and open up the Brushes menu; change the spacing to around 10% and drop the diameter right down to create a thin line. Click on the Paths tab and then on the Work Path Layer you just created. Click Stroke Path. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/13.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 13&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Repeat Step 12 with new path layers. Erase parts of the lines so they look like they are fading out in places. Add some Outer Glows (from the Layer Styles menu) using the same colour palette you picked. Vary the brush diameter on some of the strokes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/14.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 14&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Create a new document. Using the soft brush with the Spacing set to 14%, hold shift and drag the brush downwards to create a straight line on this new layer. Put a 50-pixel Gaussian blur on it and use the Eraser tool to rub out some of the ends of the line. Go Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + T and rotate by 45º. Alt + click the layer and flip horizontal to make an X shape with the lines. Merge the two selected layers (Cmd/Ctrl + E) and transform it (Cmd/Ctrl + T) to make it smaller. Place this shape on the canvas near a light burst, and Alt + Drag and transform a few smaller ones, place these around the composition too. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/15.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 15&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Create five black rectangles at equal spaces apart. Cmd/Ctrl + T and rotate 45º. Select them all using Shift and the Magic Wand tool. Turn the layer visibility off and create a new layer; hit Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + C followed by Cmd/Ctrl + V to paste back in. Use the arrow keys to offset this a little from the main image, and perhaps erase some of the areas with a soft brush. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/images/features/1738/16.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 16&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Repeat some of the previous steps but vary the colours, outer glows, brush strokes and whatever else you want. Add any additional elements you see fit, such as more curved lines. Play with layer styles, gradients and blending modes. Remember: Photoshop is only a tool for visualizing your creativity.</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/use-lighting-effects-to-make-photos.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-2768206139121021713</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-05T11:41:51.015-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Black In News</category><title>GAJI PEKERJA IT DI INDONESIA</title><description>Beberapa waktu yang lalu aku baca sebuah artikel tentang gaji pekerja IT di Indonesia. Survey dilakukan oleh ZDNETasia dengan 3.267 responder. Hasil dari survey tersebut membuktikan adanya peningkatan gaji pekerja IT Indonesia dibandingkan dengan survey yang sama pada tahun lalu.&lt;br /&gt;
Berikut ini hasil survey yang menunjukkan gaji rata-rata pekerja IT di Indonesia dalam setahun menurut industri dan fungsi kerjanya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg232_mh3orp2kwo9xarSRCZhGo-VntRt6MAFb3aGNgEBv2sRWsKM17KoDxcr1sFLbgAuGNt0W9BQdi7bDli2i9IYutqCulMHObl4ZcqgCzK0uGZ3wretdlOzxZBCz4x7DZeY37HSy6UnnW/s1600-h/image.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;251&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg232_mh3orp2kwo9xarSRCZhGo-VntRt6MAFb3aGNgEBv2sRWsKM17KoDxcr1sFLbgAuGNt0W9BQdi7bDli2i9IYutqCulMHObl4ZcqgCzK0uGZ3wretdlOzxZBCz4x7DZeY37HSy6UnnW/s320/image.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sedangkan untuk profesi pekerja IT juga terjadi perubahan tren yang sedang laku di dunia kerja. Profesi pekerja IT yang paling banyak berdasarkan jumlah responder adalah pengembang aplikasi.&lt;br /&gt;
Berikut ini adalah tabel profesi responder dan rata-rata gaji per tahun:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyR79ae6fX_BAvwknuNl6yCEy63o-HmUM4odwr1LmfYSOdX1zaCowFnQu9_e_1tSP7kR4H-wG6R1J-RT7-EaQ7yBK1csNxhTmT3k3GYyAlP6_dT953T6NcQjT652nPivUrbrI68QxlzkSW/s1600-h/image1.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;105&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyR79ae6fX_BAvwknuNl6yCEy63o-HmUM4odwr1LmfYSOdX1zaCowFnQu9_e_1tSP7kR4H-wG6R1J-RT7-EaQ7yBK1csNxhTmT3k3GYyAlP6_dT953T6NcQjT652nPivUrbrI68QxlzkSW/s320/image1.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Berdasarkan hasil survey di atas, profesi yang paling banyak diminati adalah profesi pengembang aplikasi dan yang paling sedikit adalah administrator sistem. Tapi walaupun demikian, profesi administrator sistem memiliki gaji yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan 4 profesi lainnya karena administrator sistem mempunyai tanggung jawab yang sangat tinggi dibandingkan lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Itulah hasil survey gaji para pekerja IT yang sebenarnya cukup baik. Tapi sepertinya survey dilakukan di Jakarta karena memang rata-rata gaji di Jakarta lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kota-kota lainnya di Indonesia. Sebagai contoh Bandung. Bandung sebagai kota yang menghasilkan cukup banyak para profesional IT tapi gaji para profesional IT lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan dengan statistik di atas. Gaji staff IT di Bandung masih berada pada kisaran 1,5 juta sampai dengan 2,5 juta untuk staff IT yang masih fresh graduate. Hal ini disebabkan karena tidak setiap perusahaan dapat menghargai kemampuan pegawainya. Tapi banyak pula perusahaan yang mau menghargai karyawannya.</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/gaji-pekerja-it-di-indonesia.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg232_mh3orp2kwo9xarSRCZhGo-VntRt6MAFb3aGNgEBv2sRWsKM17KoDxcr1sFLbgAuGNt0W9BQdi7bDli2i9IYutqCulMHObl4ZcqgCzK0uGZ3wretdlOzxZBCz4x7DZeY37HSy6UnnW/s72-c/image.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-4854710844490781753</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-04T20:08:55.977-08:00</atom:updated><title>Create an Abstract Style, Vibrant Jumping Man Scene in Photoshop</title><description>&lt;img alt=&quot;jump-scene-flatten-2-final&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3414&quot; height=&quot;261&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jump-scene-flatten-2-final-500x261.jpg&quot; title=&quot;jump-scene-flatten-2-final&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 1&lt;/h3&gt;Load the “Jump” stock image into Photoshop, double-click on the  background layer inside the layer pallatte to unlock it. Then create a  new layer called “bg” , fill it with black colour and put it under the  background layer we just unlock.&lt;br /&gt;
Use whatever selection tool you perfer to clear out the surroundings,  and leave just the jumping man on the canvas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;1 clear&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3398&quot; height=&quot;319&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1-clear-500x319.jpg&quot; title=&quot;1 clear&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It doesn’t really matter if the selection isn’t perfect. The tutorial  is not about teaching you how to make the perfect human selection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 2&lt;/h3&gt;Now let’s head straight to the image adjustment layers. You will find  those options under Layer &amp;gt; New Adjustment Layer &amp;gt; … , as shown  below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2 adju&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3399&quot; height=&quot;419&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-adju.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 adju&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this tutorial, I will be using three adjustment layers to retouch  this jumping man: colour balance, curves and brightness and contrast. In  my opinion, these are probably the most frequent used adjustment layers  you will be using for whatever design you’re doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 3&lt;/h3&gt;Let’s go ahead and apply those adjustment layers. From bottom to top,&lt;br /&gt;
Color Balance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2 col bal&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3400&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-col-bal1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 col bal&quot; width=&quot;437&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2 col bal 2&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3401&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-col-bal-2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 col bal 2&quot; width=&quot;437&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Curves&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2 curves&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3402&quot; height=&quot;446&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-curves1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 curves&quot; width=&quot;471&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brightness and Contrast&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2
 bc&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3403&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-bc.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 bc&quot; width=&quot;326&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And you will have the following effect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;2 effect&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3404&quot; height=&quot;328&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2-effect3-500x328.jpg&quot; title=&quot;2 effect&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You will see now the colour tone and the lightness of the image are  completely changed, just by adding those three adjustment layers. And  the good thing about them is that you can have more flexibility if you  do want to make changes later on, because the original layer is not  altered.&lt;br /&gt;
Also, because those adjustment layers are in fact layer, you can  apply mask, or change the blending mode for them, to experience  different result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 4&lt;/h3&gt;Now I will show you a quick way I use to create this cool  dis-integration effect. Firstly let’s create a custom brushset.&lt;br /&gt;
Select a 5px, soft round brush, and apply the following brush  dynamics to it:&lt;br /&gt;
Shape Dynamics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 sha dyn&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3405&quot; height=&quot;423&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-sha-dyn.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 sha dyn&quot; width=&quot;370&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Scattering&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 scat&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3406&quot; height=&quot;423&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-scat.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 scat&quot; width=&quot;370&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and tick Noise, Airbrush and Smoothing options.&lt;br /&gt;
Now load the selection of the jumping man layer by Ctrl + left click  the thumbnail image of that layer, click the rectangular marquee tool,  then right-click inside the selection and choose “Make work path”:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 make work&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3407&quot; height=&quot;433&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-make-work-500x433.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 make work&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Then define the Feather as 2px, and you will have the following  effect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 path&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3408&quot; height=&quot;342&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-path-500x342.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 path&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After you made the work path, create a new layer called “stroke” and  put it just under the jumping man layer, then click on the Pen Tool  icon, and right-click on the work path and choose “stroke path”:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 pen&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3409&quot; height=&quot;248&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-pen-500x248.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 pen&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Make sure the brushset you just created is still selected and choose  “Brush” in the next window, leave “simulate pressure” option un-checked.&lt;br /&gt;
Change the layer blending mode of this stroke layer to be “Screen”  and drop the opacity to 40%. You will now have this effect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;4 effect&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3410&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/4-effect3-500x362.jpg&quot; title=&quot;4 effect&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 5&lt;/h3&gt;To create some motion for the image, we can duplicate the “stroke”  layer from the previous layer once, drag the duplicated layer to the top  of the jumping man layer, and apply the following &lt;strong&gt;radial&lt;/strong&gt;  blur:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;5 mo blur&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-3411&quot; height=&quot;236&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5-mo-blur.jpg&quot; title=&quot;5 mo blur&quot; width=&quot;311&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Change the blending mode to “Hard Light” for this duplicated layer,  and duplicate it once again. You will now have this effect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;5 effect&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3412&quot; height=&quot;379&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5-effect1-500x379.jpg&quot; title=&quot;5 effect&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Step 6&lt;/h3&gt;To add some more effect to the image, we can grab this Debris brushset and create a new layer just below  the “Brightness and Contrast” adjustment layer, and paint some debris on  it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;6 debris&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3413&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6-debris-500x360.jpg&quot; title=&quot;6 debris&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And that’s pretty much it for this tutorial! I added some abstract  lines stretching from his arm to make this image more vibrant. This  require some basic use of the Pen Tool, if you’re interested, I have a pretty neat tutorial here showing you how to  make this sort of effect.&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the final effect I have for this tutorial: (click to enlarge)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;jump-scene-flatten-2-final&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-3414&quot; height=&quot;261&quot; src=&quot;http://www.psdvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jump-scene-flatten-2-final-500x261.jpg&quot; title=&quot;jump-scene-flatten-2-final&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/create-abstract-style-vibrant-jumping.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-2160559147475140062</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-04T11:47:26.984-08:00</atom:updated><title>Design Watercolor Effect Menu</title><description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notepaper stock image&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;First you need to find a notepaper stock image. You can buy stock photo from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php?refnum=ndesign-studio&quot;&gt;iStock&lt;/a&gt; or scan from a notepad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-1.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cutout the notepaper and apply 2px drop shadow effect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Watercolor effects &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Cmd + click on the notepaper layer to load the selection. Create a new Layer Group and click on the Add Layer Mask mini icon in the Layers palette. This way everything within the Layer Group will be masked. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-2.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Create a new layer. Choose a pink color (or any pastel color), select the Pencil tool, set the tool Opacity to 10%, brush size 100px, and drag around the document as you are doing a watercolor painting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-3.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repeat this step until you get multi layers of watercolor effects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-4.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Add details &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Find some coffee stain images, paste it in and set the layer blending mode to Multiply. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-5.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dirty and splatter effect: download and use the splatter or watercolor Photoshop brushes from Bittbox. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-6.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add some pencil sketch illustrations. You can either scan your marker sketches or use vector illustration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-7.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make a triangle selection in the corner, pick a grey color and apply a gradient to make the wrinkle effect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-8.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
4. Hand wrting text &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don’t have any nice hand writing fonts, go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dafont.com/&quot;&gt;Dafont&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urbanfonts.com/&quot;&gt;Urban Fonts&lt;/a&gt; to download them. Create a new Layer Group and enter the navigation text. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-9.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find a different font, enter the menu mouseover text. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-10.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
5. Washout RSS icon &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use the Eraser tool, choose one of the splatter brushes, set tool Opacity to 10% and randomly erase the edge. Then paint some brown color overlay the icon to give the dirty effect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-11.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
6. Sketchy strokes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sketchy or pencil strokes can be easily created in Adobe Illustrator. Draw a shape or path, open the Brushes palette, click on the charcoal brush and set the Stroke weight to 0.25pt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/menu-12.jpg&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
7. Final &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is my final image. If you want to spend more time on the details, you can add paper clips, tapes, post note, pencil sketches, etc. &lt;br /&gt;

Using Photoshop’s blending modes along with a mix of  textures and brushes, let’s get lost in space and create an abstract  cosmos poster design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-2384&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Galactic poster design&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-25.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Open up Photoshop and create a new document. Depending on your  overall aims, you might want to specify dimensions for a printed poster,  otherwise a 72dpi document is perfect for on-screen use. Fill the  background with a dark grey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Grab a couple of source images of smoke clouds, these particular  images are courtesy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shutterstock.com/&quot;&gt;Shutterstock&lt;/a&gt;  (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-15620503/stock-photo-smoke-abstract.html&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;)(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-24790168/stock-photo-detailed-blue-smoke.html&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;).  Paste the images into the document and position to flow diagonally  across the design.  Change the blending modes to Screen and drop the  opacity to around 15%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On a new layer, dab three bright colours with a large soft brush.  Pink, turquoise and purple work well together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-4.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Change the blending mode of the colour spots to Overlay to allow the  colours to cast over the underlying textures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-5.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On a new layer, change the colour swatches to their default black and  white settings (D). Then go to Filter &amp;gt; Render &amp;gt; Clouds. Change  the blending mode to Overlay and tone down to 65% opacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-6.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fill a new layer with black, then go to Filter &amp;gt; Noise &amp;gt; Add  Noise. Select an amount of around 10%, with the Gaussian and  Monochromatic options selected. Change the blending mode to Screen and  adjust the Levels (CMD+L) black and white points to create a field of  distant stars. Create a Layer Mask and dab areas with a large soft brush  to add variance to their intensity, making some brighter than others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-7.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Download this handy collection of Star Brushes, then  set up your brush settings in Photoshop as follows. Select a star brush  from the pack and turn down the size, also adjust the spacing to 1000%.  Under the Shape Dynamics tab, change the Size Jitter to full and Minimum  Diameter to 0%. Under the Scattering tab, change the Scatter to full.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-11.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Paint in a variety of stars to fill out the space scene, adjust the  brush size between strokes to give a wider range of sizes. Give the star  layer an Outer Glow of a light blue, then add a Layer Mask to adjust  the intensity of the stars. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-12.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Grab the Type tool and create a simple typographic layout. Here I’m  using the words Chemical Imbalance, with a fat slab-serif font  (Geometric Slab-Serif). The tracking is tightened and leading shortened  to spice it up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-13.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Add a Layer Mask to the type layer, then go to Filter &amp;gt; Render  &amp;gt; Clouds to erase out random areas of the text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-14.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Duplicate the layer, then add a Gaussian Blur of around 6px. Change  the blending mode to Overlay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-15.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Add another clouds rendering to this layer’s mask to erase out  different areas of the text. Use a normal soft brush to also manual  erase out specific areas of the text layers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-16.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On a new layer, paint in a range of white spots with the Brush tool.  Changing these to Overlay will give intense areas of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-17.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Continue to paint in more dabs of colour, this time spots of yellow  around the text. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-18.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Add a layer mask to the yellow spots, then add a rendering of clouds  to give a textured appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-19.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Change the blending mode to Color Dodge to blend the colour spots  into the design as casts of vibrant colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-20.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Paint a spot of pink, then change the blending mode to Dissolve. Add a  Radial Blur of around 60% using the Zoom setting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-21.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Merge this pink spot with a new blank layer (CMD+E) to reset the  blending mode back to Normal, then change the mode to Color Dodge.  Change the Opacity to around 60% to tone down the effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-22.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On a new layer, draw a spot of white using a soft brush. Grab the  mask tool and delete away half of the circle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-23.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Press CMD+T to transform the semi-circle, then stretch and squash it  into a cast of light. Rotate it by 45% (hold Shift) and move into  position on the design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-24.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Press the ALT key and move copies into various places on the design.  Overlap a few casts to give the impression of streaks across the whole  design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-25-detail.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Change the blending mode to Overlay to allow the white to interact  with the underlying colours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Galactic poster design&quot; src=&quot;http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/galactic-poster/Picture-25.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sit back and cast your eye over the design, make any tweaks to the  opacity of layers or tone down areas with brush strokes to the layer  mask to erase out areas taking too much prominence.</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/create-trendy-galactic-poster-design-in.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-200786780162931014</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-04T11:15:18.136-08:00</atom:updated><title>Photo Strip</title><description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/file/photo-strip-psd.zip&quot; title=&quot;Download source files&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-211&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.&lt;/em&gt; Create a Strip (Vector Shapes)&lt;/h3&gt;First, create a strip with the Pen tool (either in Photoshop or  Illustrator). We will use these shapes as a guideline and for masking  purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;stripe outline shapes&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/stripe-outline.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;2.&lt;/em&gt; Photo Stack&lt;/h3&gt;Choose 3 photos of your choice and stack them together. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;photo stack&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/photo-stack.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;3.&lt;/em&gt; Warping (Photoshop Warp Tool)&lt;/h3&gt;Adjust the layer opacity to 40 or 50% so you can see the guideline  underneath. Go to &lt;em&gt;Edit &amp;gt; Transform &amp;gt; Warp&lt;/em&gt;. Now you should  see a grid and 4 anchor points in the corner. To bending the image,  simply drag the anchor points, direction points, or grid lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;grid 1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/warp-grid-1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Repeat this step for the rest of the strip. Since this step is  relatively simple and repeatitive, I’m not going to get into the  details. Here are the screenshots of the steps:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;grid 2&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/warp-grid-2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;grid 3&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/warp-grid-3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;grid 4&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/warp-grid-4.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;4.&lt;/em&gt; Masking&lt;/h3&gt;Organize the layers into groups (ie. strip 1, 2, 3, 4). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;layer groups&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/layer-group.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Load selection from the shapes you created in step 1 and add a layer  mask for each group (so you get a perfect smooth curve).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;layer mask&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/layer-mask.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;5.&lt;/em&gt; Shadows&lt;/h3&gt;In masked group 1, create a new layer above the strip. Use the  Gradient tool and drag from the top to bottom to create a black  gradient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;shadow&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/shadow-1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Repeat this step for the other strips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;shadows&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/shadows.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;6.&lt;/em&gt; Highlights&lt;/h3&gt;To make highlighted and glossy areas: create a round glowing circle,  compress it, and rotate it in the angle according to your strip’s  direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;shadow&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/highlight.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;7.&lt;/em&gt; Line Strokes&lt;/h3&gt;To make line strokes: load a selection of the mask, create a new  layer, fill it with black, shift the selection to the left by 1 or 2  pixels, delete the selected area by pressing the Delete key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;line strokes&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/line-strokes.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;8.&lt;/em&gt; Final Touches&lt;/h3&gt;To make the image look more interesting, desaturated the two strips  in the back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;final&quot; src=&quot;http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/final.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1 – Choosing a Background &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;For the best results with this effect, you’ll want to use a dark background. The background should have a hint of color, and should avoid from being too dark (such as pure black). Being inspired from Drasik’s work, I’ll use a dark violet (#120612).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to get this out of the way, as you may notice throughout this tutorial, there are LOTS of different ways to go about accomplishing this effect – this is just the way I found to be most convenient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2 – Setting the Type&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;We’ll be setting the type in a not-so-traditional way, which will allow us to get a special layering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the Type Tool, type whatever it is you’d like to apply the effect to, BUT only type one letter per layer. That is, you need to type a letter, apply the text, then create a new type layer with your next letter. When all is said and done, you should have a separate layer for each letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’re image probably looks something like this (Quick Note: Type used below is Century Gothic):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/type-set.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, that leaves something to be left desired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rather than wasting too much time trying to get things aligned perfectly, let’s handle it all in a quick step. Select the Move Tool. Create a selection around the first letter (Ctrl + Click the Layer Thumbnail in the Layers Palette). Next, Select ALL of the Type Layers (Click the Bottom Type Layers name, hold shift, then click the top Type Layers name). Now, in the Options bar, Click “Align Bottom Edges”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/aligned-bottom.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deselect everything (Ctrl + D), and now start moving your individual letters so that they slightly overlap one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/type-positioned.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3 – Add a Gradient &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Create a new Layer above your type layers. Using the Gradient Tool, and a White to Transparent gradient, fill in the work area so that the Gradient is not TOO OPAQUE, or TOO TRANSPARENT where it overlaps with the text, but fades nicely in that area. The gradient should move from top to bottom – Top being the most opaque (Hold Shift to make a perfectly straight gradient).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/gradient.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4 – Cutting out Letters &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Imagine that we’re making shaped-cookies. It’s a stretch, but stay with me. In a way, this gradient will serve as our ‘dough’, while the letters will be our ‘cookie cutters’. Those individual type layers created earlier are tools we can use to create shapes from the gradient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let’s go through it step by step and see if it makes more sense. Create a selection of the layer contents for your first letter (Ctrl + Click the Layer Thumbnail in the Layers Palette). Now, Select the Gradient Layer (By “Select”, I mean click the layer – do not select the layer contents. We want the selection of the first letter to remain). Copy (Ctrl + C) and Paste so that you’ve created a copy of the gradient in the shape of the letter. If you were to disable ALL of the layers except for this new layer you just created, and the background, you’d now have this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/first-letter.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s really a lot simpler than it sounds. Repeat this process for the rest of the letters, always making sure to selecting the gradient layer (the dough) prior to cutting out your layer. When you’re finished, put away all your letters and gradient layers (delete them, or hide them).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/letterscut1.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5 – Just Add Color!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;You may want to name all of your individual layers, that way you don’t lose track of which letter is which, but perhaps you’ve got a manageable number and that’s not necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Create a new layer above all your ‘gradient-letters’. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool, and a bright color (I’m starting with #7fff5d). Create a selection of your first gradient-letter (Ignore any messages you may or may not see about no selection being shown), and fill in that selection with your selected color on the new layer. Set this layers Blending Mode to Screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/1color.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repeat this process for the remaining letters (each color on a new layer). Try using the same colors more than once every now and then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/colors.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6 – Merge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;When you’re sure that the type is set correctly, Merge all of your gradient-letters (Select the layers, then Ctrl + E). Then, Merge all of your colors into one layer (Make sure the blending mode is still set to screen).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should now have two layers – one with the plain gradient layers, the other with the colors for the letters. We didn’t have to do this, it’s just easier to manage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7 – Getting the Glow&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Duplicate your gradient-letters layer (Not the color layer). Apply a Gaussian Blur (See our Filters Tutorial) with value of 1-3 on this layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/blur1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repeat this step (Duplicate &amp;amp; Blur) on your Color layer. Set this layer to Lighten or Screen (use best judgment). Depending on the saturation and intensity of your colors, you may choose to duplicate the color layer a second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/blurcomplete.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 8&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Using the Eraser Tool, and a soft brush, go back and erase parts of the colored layers so that the type appears to fade from color to a ghostly white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/erase.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 9 – Reflect&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Select ALL of the layers being used for the text effect, then Duplicate them. Merge the duplicated version into one layer. Use the trendy Surface Reflection Technique shown in our 5 Essential Reflections for Photoshop Tutorial to mirror your type.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/reflection.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 10 – Adjust as Needed! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;From here on out, I’ll let you play on your own with the effect. I’d recommend playing with lighting effects in the background — simple things like adding some highlights behind the text… though you certainly could go all out as Drasik does in his work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some additional steps I took to improve upon the effect:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://tutorial9.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2008/08/additional-lighting.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Playing with additional blurs can also add a bit of liveliness to the text. Try Duplicating a layer, and applying a motion blur to see how that works out for you!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;Kalau kalian pengen ngejalanin ato pengen login YM (yahoo messenger) dengan lebih dari satu user id yang berbeda dalam satu PC maka kalian nggak  perlu repot-repot nyari softwarenya. Yang perlu kalian  lakuin cuma sedikit tweak pada Registry Windows (Regedit) kalian. Caranya gampang, ikuti langkah-langkah berikut ini :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Start &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Run…&amp;gt;&amp;gt; regedit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Buka HKEY_CURRENT_USER &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Software &amp;gt;&amp;gt; yahoo &amp;gt;&amp;gt;  pager &amp;gt;&amp;gt; test&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pada sebelah kanan, klik kanan &amp;gt;&amp;gt; New &amp;gt;&amp;gt; DWORD value&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Beri nama Plural tekan enter 2 kali dan berikan nilai 1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Buat ngejalaninnya silahkan buka Yahoo Messenger seperti biasa,  kemudian kalo kalian pengen login dengan id yang berbeda, kalian tinggal klik  lagi shorcut Yahoo Messenger yang ada di Start Menu/Desktop/Quick  Launch. Setelah kalian klik akan muncul window Yahoo messenger baru, dan  silahkan login dengan id yang berbeda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jika setelah udah ngikutin langkah-langkah di atas tapi belum  berhasil, coba logout dari Yahoo Messenger dan Exit, trus jalanin  lagi dari shorcut yang tersedia. Kalo masih belum bisa, coba restart  Windows kalian atau periksa apakah Registry Windows kalian di-lock oleh  administrator (Biasanya untuk komputer kantor/security reason).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tips ini sudah terbukti manjur pada Yahoo Messenger Versi 8.0.xxx,&lt;br /&gt;
Selamat Mencoba, Semoga berhasil…</description><link>http://pramudisain.blogspot.com/2010/01/cara-login-multi-yahoo-messenger-tanpa.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvFpgtuFcxCOlCdoxf96hrbU4vlSX1-Yl0QF-QeEKwJeqZPkLlh9ge7lZ_mGd_lgPY7_dFMkywGJBZsEvUdgD8dOo3FEqXY9OjFBir2EyJKtCPub8Vnb40PqczSlX7Ek5F9k5YIL7XDRgj/s72-c/yahoo_messenger_logo.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565783328962034953.post-186258727145908623</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-31T06:50:42.549-08:00</atom:updated><title>Kamus Freelance untuk Freelancer Indonesia</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;wp-caption alignnone&quot; id=&quot;attachment_535&quot; style=&quot;width: 400px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/agnieszka/19721007/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/agnieszka/19721007/&#39;);&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Kamus Freelance - photo by Agnieszka&quot; class=&quot;size-full

&lt;div class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;Kamus Freelance - photo by Agnieszka&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sebagai  &lt;i&gt;freelancer&lt;/i&gt; pemula terkadang kita masih dibingungkan  oleh  istilah-istilah baru di dunia &lt;i&gt;freelance.&lt;/i&gt; Anda mungkin  harus  mempelajarinya terlebih dahulu melalui FAQ atau dokumentasi situs &lt;i&gt;freelance&lt;/i&gt;   . Melalui artikel ini Saya akan memberikan keterangan mengenai istilah  &lt;i&gt;freelance&lt;/i&gt;  yang saya ketahui, mungkin akan Saya update terus  setiap saat agar  kamus freelancer kita semakin banyak &lt;img alt=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Rating&lt;/h3&gt;adalah nilai  atau angka yang diberikan oleh klien kepada kita sebagai  provider  dengan skala 1-10. Semakin tinggi nilai rating yang didapat  maka  semakin baik prestise kita dimata seorang klien.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Quotation&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  surat penawaran harga proyek. Dengan quotation kita bisa  mengarsipkan  harga proyek dan detail pekerjaan yang kita lakukan untuk  si klien.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Testimonial/Review&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  hasil review atau komentar klien kepada kita mengenai  pekerjaan kita  dari awal hingga akhir. Reviewnya bisa bersifat positif  seperti &lt;i&gt;Good  communication and excellent work; will definitely  recommend this Coder  to others&lt;/i&gt; dan negatif seperti &lt;i&gt;He said in 0  day can complete  project. After one days he has not start to work on  it. Probably he  doesn’t know what’s joomla and what’s Virtuemart. Watch  out for him. He  waste your time&lt;/i&gt;. Hal ini merupakan parameter kita  sebagai provider  yang baik atau sebaliknya &lt;img alt=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; /&gt;  . Testimonial dapat diberikan oleh  keduabelah pihak, yaitu &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt;  dan &lt;i&gt;buyer&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Coder/Provider&lt;/h3&gt;adalah kita sebagai  pekerja &lt;i&gt;freelancer.&lt;/i&gt; istilah ini mungkin  berbeda antara &lt;i&gt;freelance  market&lt;/i&gt;, tapi pada umumnya menggunakan &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Buyer&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  empunya proyek/pekerjaan atau biasa kita sebut klien&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Bid/bidding&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  angka lelang yg diberikan oleh buyer kepada &lt;i&gt;provider/coder&lt;/i&gt;.   Apabila buyer memberikan angka lelang $50-$100 maka kita sebagai &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt;   harus memberikan nilai lelang diantaranya. Umumnya semakin rendah  angka  lelang&amp;nbsp; maka &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt; terendah akan segera dipilih oleh &lt;i&gt;buyer&lt;/i&gt;,   tapi hal ini tidak semua terjadi apabila Anda memang mempunyai skil  dan  referensi yang baik di rating dan testimonial. Jadi &lt;i&gt;bid&lt;/i&gt; Anda   bisa mencapai titik tertinggi karena kualitas Anda yang baik. India   biasanya memberikan &lt;i&gt;bid &lt;/i&gt;yang sangat kecil sehingga &lt;i&gt;outsource&lt;/i&gt;   terbesar didunia saat ini masih di rajai oleh kaum India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;PMB&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  singkatan dari &lt;i&gt;Private Message Board&lt;/i&gt;, fitur ini  berguna untuk  mengontak calon klien secara privat tanpa diketahui oleh  kompetitor  kita. Sifat dari media ini sebagai media komunikasi antara  klien dan  provider, selain teks bisa juga saling bertukar file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Withdraw&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  proses penarikan, yang biasanya disangkutkan oleh penarikan  uang. Kita  dapat menarik uang melalui bank kita dengan akun rupiah atau  akun  dolar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Escrow&lt;/h3&gt;adalah alat/fitur transaksi keuangan yang  dimiliki oleh &lt;i&gt;freelance  market &lt;/i&gt;atau secara independen. Apabila &lt;i&gt;freelance  market&lt;/i&gt;  memiliki fasilitas escrow akan sangat membantu kita untuk  bertransaksi  secara aman dengan klien. Jadi kita bisa meminta klien  untuk  men-depositkan uangnya melalui &lt;i&gt;escrow&lt;/i&gt; sebesar &lt;i&gt;deal&lt;/i&gt;   yang telah disepakati. Setelah proyek telah di selesaikan maka pihak   klien atau &lt;i&gt;freeelance market&lt;/i&gt; dapat mencairkan uang kita. Proses   transaksi ini sangat menguntungkan keduabelah pihak, provider dan   buyer. Provider mempunyai jaminan untuk dibayar dan buyer ada jaminan   uangnya tidak dibawa kabur oleh provider. Sayangnya &lt;i&gt;escrow&lt;/i&gt;   secara independent seperti www.escrow.com tidak mengizinkan IP &lt;i&gt;address&lt;/i&gt;   kita untuk mengaksesnya, mungkin karena kesalahan para carding yang   akhirnya negara kita terkena status blacklist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Arbitration/mediation&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  proses yang dapat diminta &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt; atau &lt;i&gt;buyer &lt;/i&gt;kepada  &lt;i&gt;freelance  market&lt;/i&gt; untuk menyelesaikan perselisihan antara  keduanya dalam&amp;nbsp;  suatu proyek. Proses ini seperti sistem pengadilan,  asalkan kita  sebagai provider punya data otentik yang kuat dan  memberatkan maka  buyer akan kalah, lalu proses selanjutnya akan mencair  uang kepada  provider dan buyer akan terkena blacklist, demikian berlaku  sebaliknya.  Hasil keputusan akan dinyatakan oleh &lt;i&gt;freelance market&lt;/i&gt;  sebagai  hakimnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Pagu&lt;/h3&gt;adalah batas tertinggi suatu budget proyek,  istilah ini dipakai untuk  proyek-proyek pemda&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Mockup&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  hasil desain sementara atau sketsa, biasanya hasilnya berupa  file jpg,  gif, swf atau cetak. Hal ini merupakan desain contoh sebelum  tahap  pengerjaan integrasi untuk bidang website atau naik cetak untuk  bidang  desain grafis. Pada umumnya Saya membuat 2 &lt;i&gt;mockup&lt;/i&gt; konsep  desain  untuk alternatif dan akan memberikan revisi mayor sebanyak 3  kali serta  &lt;i&gt;unlimited &lt;/i&gt;revisi minor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;update*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Pitching&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  proses penawaran provider dengan calon klien. Konsepnya sama  dengan  lelang, proses &lt;i&gt;pitching&lt;/i&gt; diharuskan mensertakan proposal  proyek  yang berisikan harga penawaran, &lt;i&gt;mockup&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;timeline&lt;/i&gt;,  tim dan  hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan proyek tersebut. Klien akan  mengundang 3  sampai 5 &lt;i&gt;provider&lt;/i&gt; untuk saling ber-adu skil,  konsep, harga, dan  waktu. keputusan akan ditentukan sepenuhnya oleh  pihak klien. Pesan  Saya harus hati-hati dengan proses &lt;i&gt;pitching&lt;/i&gt;  ini karena bagi para  pemula akan sangat mudah di-”akali” oleh klien yang  nakal, seperti  desain atau konsepnya digunakan tanpa pemberitahuan  terlebih dahulu dan  yang dimenangkan oleh pihak klien adalah yang  termurah lalu konsep  anda yg digunakan, walhasil kita tinggal gigit  jari. Sebaiknya  menggunakan proposal yang cukup jelas untuk menghindari  hal ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;NDA&lt;/h3&gt;adalah  singkatan dari Nondisclosure Agreement yang berarti dokumen   kesepakatan kedua belah pihak, seperti kontrak kerja. Biasanya dokumen   ini ditandatanganin secara offline kemudian di scan apabila proyek ini   berasal dari luar negeri, tapi kalau proyek ini berasal dari dalam   negeri kita perlu membubuhkan materai sebagai prasyarat hukum yang kuat.&lt;br /&gt;
Apakah  kalian sudah familiar dengannya? semoga istilah/kamus  freelance kita  semakin bertambah. Apabila kalian memiliki istilah  lainnya &lt;i&gt;sok atuwh  disharing&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Setiap kali ngobrol lewat chat, pertanyaan yang paling sering  dilontarkan oleh teman chat saya adalah : &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;bagaimana sih  caranya menjadi freelancer?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;apa saja yang  dibutuhkan seorang freelancer?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, dan &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;keywordnya  apa yah?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; biar saya mengetahui lebih banyak mengenai  freelance. Yup ini merupakan pertanyaan general sebagai freelancer &lt;i&gt;newbie&lt;/i&gt;,  yang mungkin dulu merupakan tanda tanya juga bagi saya. ok akan saya  jawab sesuai pengalaman &lt;img alt=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; /&gt;  . berikut beberapa tips dari saya untuk  menjadi seorang freelancer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-97&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Koneksi Internet&lt;/h4&gt;Sebagai freelancer modern, teman-teman wajib punya koneksi internet.  Kenapa? karena hal ini akan sangat mempermudah kita untuk memperluas  jaringan (networking), menjual produk, dan tentu saja mempromosikan  diri. Kita dapat menggengam dunia hanya dengan menggunakan mouse dan  keyboard. Lalu koneksi mana yang akan kita pilih? saat ini banyak  provider yang selalu memberikan janji-janji marketing yang pada akhirnya  membuat kita bingung. Saran saya si, teman-teman HARUS googling untuk  mengetahui&lt;br /&gt;
kelebihan dan kekurangan dari hasil ulasan teman-teman di internet. Saya  saat ini menggunakan Speedy office hampir 1 tahun dan alhamdulillah  sampai saat ini berjalan dengan lancar, walau kadang putus koneksinya  tapi masih dalam taraf wajar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Situs Pribadi&lt;/h4&gt;Situs pribadi merupakan syarat wajib bagi freelancer untuk  memperkenalkan diri dan menunjukkan siapa anda sebenarnya. Ribet? harus  keluar biaya untuk membeli nama domain dan hosting? Tidak perlu!  Teman-teman bisa menggunakan banyak layanan gratis yang tersedia dan  dapat digunakan dengan mudah, semudah membuat email dan hanya  membutuhkan waktu kurang lebih 5 menit. Mudah bukan?&lt;br /&gt;
Berikut adalah daftar layanan gratis yang bisa kalian pakai untuk  membuat situs web gratis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wordpress.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.wordpress.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;wordpress&quot;&gt;Wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.blogger.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;blogger&quot;&gt;Blogger.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.multiply.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.multiply.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;multiply&quot;&gt;Multiply.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.myspace.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;myspace&quot;&gt;Myspace.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Lalu bagaimana dengan domain dan hosting? Sebenarnya ini tidak wajib,  tapi lebih baik anda mempunyai domain sendiri bila ingin terlihat lebih  profesional. Saran saya dalam membuat situs web, tidak perlu membuatnya  dari awal, lebih baik menggunakan CMS (Content Management System) yang  gratis dan bebas (opensource) seperti Joomla, Wordpress, Textpattern dan  Drupal. Kenapa? Karena MUDAH, banyak fungsi yang bisa ditambahkan  menggunakan plugin, keamanan yang baik, mudah dipakai dan sangat  menghemat waktu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Messenger dan Email&lt;/h4&gt;Messenger dan email juga tidak boleh ketinggalan untuk melancarkan  komunikasi. Messenger dan email yang bisa kalian dipakai banyak sekali  dan biasanya akun email juga bisa digunakan untuk messenger, seperti  Yahoo mail dan Yahoo Messangger, Google Mail atau Gmail dengan Gtalk,  Windows Live Mail dengan Windows Live Messenger. Ada juga messenger yang  lebih unik seperti Skype yang memungkinkan kalian menelpon orang lain  dimana saja secara gratis, melalui internet tentu saja. Untuk email  utama saya sarankan menggunakan Gmail karena sangat cepat untuk akses,  mudah digunakan dan mempunyai &lt;i&gt;space&lt;/i&gt; yang sangat besar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Memiliki Tabungan&lt;/h4&gt;Calon freelancer sebaiknya mempunyai tabungan 3 – 6 bulan kedepan  untuk membiayai hidupnya. Memang di awal kita akan seperti Tarzan di  dalam hutan belantara. Dengan diliputi berbagai pertanyaan dari apa yang  harus dimakan, apa yang harus dihindari, apa yang harus ditemani dan  banyak lagi. Mendapatkan suatu pekerjaan dan menemukan celah yang cukup  baik akan membutuhkan waktu, tapi saya yakin dalam waktu 2-3 bulan titik  terang itu akan terlihat dan menjadi lebih besar. OPTIMIS adalah kunci  utamanya, dan percayalah bahwa semua ada prosesnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Googling dengan keyword make money&lt;/h4&gt;Terkadang kita bingung dengan kata kunci apa saja yang harus kita  tuliskan di mesin pencari (Google, Yahoo) agar kita bisa mendapatkan  situs web yang kita inginkan. Tapi jangan cepat menyerah karena dalam  waktu satu bulan mungkin kita sudah mempunyai ribuan keyword yang dapat  di googling. Dibawah ini beberapa list yg membahas cara menghasilkan  uang. Insyaallah akan lebih mempermudah dalam mencari situs yang kita  inginkan.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sebagai &lt;em&gt;freelance&lt;/em&gt; yang masih hijau, ada baiknya bagi kita  untuk mempunyai panutan. Tentunya kita bisa banyak belajar dari para &lt;em&gt;freelancer&lt;/em&gt;  yang sudah lebih dulu menggeluti dunia &lt;em&gt;freelancer&lt;/em&gt; dan tentu  saja, sudah jauh lebih berpengalaman. Mereka adalah orang-orang yang  saya bisa kasih 4 jempol (termasuk 2 jempol kaki) karena tingginya  dedikasi dan kegigihan mereka untuk bertahan sampai sekarang. Satu kata  untuk mereka: SALUT!&lt;br /&gt;
Mau tahu siapa mereka? Berikut adalah beberapa yang saya kenal baik.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-118&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.isnaini.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.isnaini.com/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;ahmad isnaini&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ahmad  Isnaini&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Isnaini adalah seorang blogger Yogyakarta yang sudah menggeluti dunia  internet sejak tahun 2002. Dengan bermodalkan keberanian dan ilmu yang  didapatkannya secara ototidak, dia mampu menjadi seorang blogger yang  berpenghasilan ribuan dolar. Ia juga sering hadir sebagai pembicara di  berbagai seminar bertemakan pemburuan uang di internet sampai tema yang  lebih umum seperti e-learning. Penghasilannya utamanya didapatkan dari  memasang situs dari penyedia iklan seperti Text Link Ads, Google  Adsense, selain itu dia juga menggunakan metoda domain parking dan  menyediakan jasa pembuatan situs web.&lt;br /&gt;
Gampang? Tentu saja tidak, karena untuk sukses seperti Isnaini  tentunya membutuhkan&lt;br /&gt;
perjuangan yang sangat keras.

Jauhari (sapaan akrab Nurudin Jauhari) juga sering  membuat template Wordpress gratis yang sudah digunakan banyak orang di  seluruh dunia. Pada tahun 2003, ia memulai sebuah blognya&lt;br /&gt;
dengan tujuan yang sederhana: memperbanyak teman! “Banyak teman adalah  aset”,&lt;br /&gt;
begitulah katanya. Pendapatan terbesarnya berasal dari jasa pembuatan  situs web&lt;br /&gt;
berbasis Wordpress, Blogger dan Textpattern. Proyek terbesarnya saat ini  membuat 20&lt;br /&gt;
template situs web dalam 1 bulan.&lt;br /&gt;

Hampir semua  ilmu Adsense sudah melekat di otaknya sehingga tips and trik mendapatkan  uang di internet selalu diajarkan kepada semua pemula maupun  professional &lt;em&gt;ad publishers&lt;/em&gt;. Ribuan dolar sudah ia didapatkannya  dari &lt;em&gt;online ads&lt;/em&gt;, tapi dengan semua kesuksesannya, dia tetap  mengingatkan bahwa untuk mendapat uang banyak itu tidak mudah, karena  semua ada prosesnya. Salah satu artikel yang sangat terkenal yang ia  tulis adalah &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cosaaranda.com/daftar-program-yang-menghasilkan-uang-di-tahun-2006.htm&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.cosaaranda.com/daftar-program-yang-menghasilkan-uang-di-tahun-2006.htm&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;money makers&quot;&gt;daftar program&lt;/a&gt; yang menghasilkan uang pada pada  tahun 2008.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Dandy terjun di dunia freelancer secara online sejak tahun 2006. Ia  menemukan jati dirinya melalui situs &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getafreelancer.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.getafreelancer.com/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;getafreelance&quot;&gt;Getafreelancer.com&lt;/a&gt;. Salah satu cita-cita awalnya  adalah untuk memperkenalkan &lt;em&gt;outsourcer&lt;/em&gt; Indonesia ke luar  negeri. Sungguh mulia cita-cita tersebut &lt;img alt=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; /&gt;  . Saat ini ia sudah masuk dalam peringkat  50 besar anggota &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getafreelancer.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.getafreelancer.com/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;getafreelance&quot;&gt;Getafreelancer.com&lt;/a&gt; dengan 172 &lt;em&gt;reviews&lt;/em&gt;  positif. Dandy mengambil nama Smart Consultant sebagai nama  perusahaannya. Perusahaan tersebut sukses membuat Dandy tersenyum lebar.&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk masuk dunia lelang proyek seperti Dandy tidaklah mudah, karena  persaingannya&lt;br /&gt;
sangat ketat dan juga kalian akan bersaing dengan puluhan negara lain  dari seluruh dunia. Dibutuhkan mental yang gigih, pendekatan yang baik,  dan juga portfolio yang menarik untuk menjadi senjata ampuh dalam  mendapatkan klien dari luar negeri dan berpenghasilan dolar. Ia pun juga  bercita-cita setiap bulannya menerima satu pegawai baru untuk membantu  penyelesaian proyek-proyeknya. Saat ini dalam 1 bulan dandy bisa  mengambil dan menjalankan 10 proyek. AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;

size-full wp-image-2584&quot; height=&quot;382&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1764702488_87b154e90d.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Rate Freelancer&quot; width=&quot;314&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Di beberapa freelance marketplace seperti oDesk dan RAC (fitur baru  RAC), freelancer bisa bekerja berbasis jam dan dibayar sesuai harga/rate  per jam yang ditentukan oleh freelancer itu sendiri. Baru saja seorang  teman bertanya kepada saya, sebagai pemula berapa sebaiknya rate yang  wajar. Saya menyarankan teman saya itu untuk menghitungnya sendiri di &lt;a href=&quot;http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/freelanceswitch.com/rates/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-2582&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/freelanceswitch.com/rates/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;blank&quot;&gt;http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/&lt;/a&gt;  adalah kalkulator freelance untuk menentukan berapa sebaiknya biaya per  jam yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan freelancer tersebut. Di kalkulator  digunakan tanda $ tetapi ada catatan bahwa angka bisa dalam satuan mata  uang apapun, asalkan konsisten. Jika kita hendak menghitung dalam  rupiah, maka isikan semua dalam rupiah, jangan dicampur dengan angka  dalam USD, karena nanti hasilnya akan beda jauh&lt;br /&gt;
Langkah pertama adalah menghitung biaya usaha / Business Cost. Tidak  semua mesti diisi, sesuaikan dengan keadaan saat ini dan perkiraan untuk  tahun depan. Kebetulan sekarang mendekati akhir tahun, kita semua  pastinya sudah bisa mengira tahun ini sudah menghabiskan berapa saja  untuk tiap komponen biaya usaha ini. Perhitungkan juga kemungkinan  kenaikan harga di tahun mendatang, karena hasil perhitungan akhir nanti  pastinya digunakan untuk membayar biaya bisinis tahun depan.&lt;br /&gt;
Langkah kedua adalah perhitungan biaya pribadi. Sama seperti di  langkah pertama angka yang diisikan adalah perkiraan biaya total dalam  setahun. Isikan berdasarkan data tahun ini plus penyesuaian untuk tahun  mendatang.&lt;br /&gt;
Langkah ketiga terkait jam kerja. Tidak mungkin kita bekerja 24 jam  dalam sehari bukan. Isikanlah jam kerja yang bisa dicapai dalam sehari,  berapa hari kerja yang diinginkan, hari libur yang diinginkan, dll. Dari  jam kerja juga tidak semua bisa ditagih ke client, ada jam-jam yang  digunakan untuk mencari project baru. Isikan di isian terakhir, berapa  persen dari jam kerja yang bisa ditagih ke client.&lt;br /&gt;
Langkah keempat dan terakhir terkait target tabungan. Isikan dengan  angka target tabungan yang ingin Anda capai dalam setahun.&lt;br /&gt;
Hasil akhir akan didapatkan rate per jam dan break even rate per jam.  Jika angka diisikan dalam rupiah, maka hasil akhir adalah dalam satuan  rupiah per jam. Tinggal dikonversi ke satuan $ per jam sesuai rate saat  ini + perkiraan rate tahun depan.&lt;br /&gt;
Selamat menghitung dan selamat berburu proyek di freelancer market  place.&lt;br /&gt;

Mulai permintaan klien yang minta nya aneh-aneh sampai saingan  yang sudah nggak kehitung lagi. Apalagi kita juga belum punya portfolio  yang sangat dibutuhkan klien untuk mengetahui hasil kerja yang pernah  kita kerjakan. Kebanyakan dari kita waktu memulai kerja freelance dari  awal pasti pernah mikir seperti ini, “Kapan yah aku dapat kerjaan ?”,  jujur aja deh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-2190&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kalau kalian pada awal cari kerjanya di situs-situs freelance market  macam &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getafreelancer.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.getafreelancer.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GetAFreelancer&lt;/a&gt;,  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elance.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.elance.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Elance&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scriptlance.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.scriptlance.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Scriptlance&lt;/a&gt;, Atau  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rentacoder.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.rentacoder.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RentACoder&lt;/a&gt; pasti  tahu bagaimana persaingan antar sesama freelancer disitu. Sulit bukan?  Belum lagi kalau sudah ketemu sama orang dari India yang sudah punya  review bagus, tapi berani memberi harga sangat murah.&lt;br /&gt;
Sebetulnya kalau kalian mau mencari lagi, masih ada freelance market  lain yang tingkat persaingan nya masih belum terlalu susah. Saya kasih  contoh &lt;a href=&quot;http://freelancetraffic.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/freelancetraffic.com/&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;freelancetraffic.com&lt;/a&gt;  . Memang sih freelance market ini masih baru, tapi nggak ada  salahnyakan mencoba? Toh dengan mencoba kita jadi lebih berpengalaman  dan tahu banyak hal.&lt;br /&gt;
Kalau menurut saya, web ini cukup bagus bagi &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/category/newbie&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;newbie&lt;/a&gt;,  yang masih belum punya banyak pengalaman. Karena ini tergolong situs  freelance market yang baru jadi pasti masih ada kurang dan lebih nya  kan?&lt;br /&gt;
Mungkin ini beberapa diantara nya :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Kelebihan&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Minim Saingan&lt;/h3&gt;Mungkin karena masih baru jadi anggota freelancernya masih sedikit,  rata-rata masih belum punya review. Karena sedikit itulah persaingan  antar anggota belum terlalu kelihatan. Respon dari pembeli pun bisa  dikatakan cukup positif. Setiap saya menawarkan proposal selalu ada  jawabannya, entah itu jawaban yang positif atau negative, tapi  kebanyakan jawaban yang positif.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;100 proposal/bid gratis&lt;/h3&gt;Kita diberi kebebasan untuk memberi proposal penawaran sampai 100  proposal. Coba banding kan kalau di GAF yang cuma 15, di Elance malah  cuma dapat 3 per bulannya. Lumayankan kalau dibuat latihan, siapa tahu  nanti menang lelang proyek terus dapat bayaran. Tetapi ingat, meskipun  latihan, tetapi sebelum mengirim proposal pastikan dulu kamu bisa  ngerjain tugas-tugas yang kira-kira bakal diberikan klien nantinya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Kekurangan&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Kurang Aman&lt;/h3&gt;Untuk keamanan sepert nya di situs ini masih kurang, kenapa? Karena  kebanyakan halaman nya masih pakai port http, belum port https seperti  situs freelance market kebanyakan. Pasti semua nya sudah pada tahu kan,  beda http dengan https?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Pilihan Penarikan Dana cuma lewat PayPal&lt;/h3&gt;Karena pilihan penarikan dana cuma &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/category/paypal&quot;&gt;PayPal&lt;/a&gt;, jadi  menyulitkan kita yang masih newbie. Karena untuk pendaftaran nya PayPal  meminta verifikasi kartu kredit terlebih dahulu. Kalau masih awal  memulai rata-rata dari kita kan belum punya kartu kredit ?&lt;br /&gt;
Tetapi lepas dari itu semua, daripada kita cuma melamun menunggu  balasan proposal yang nggak datang-datang lebih baik kan mencoba yang  lain. Lumayan untuk tambah-tambah ilmu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Mungkin banyak diantara kita yang selama ini bekerja sebagai  freelancer online. Yang mana beberapa keuntungan dari bekerja sebagai  online freelancer adalah tidak perlu merasakan kemacetan, tidak perlu  wasting time untuk project yang belum tentu berjalan, dan juga tidak  perlu keahlian khusus untuk melakukan presentasi di depan calon client.  Jadi ada beberapa perbedaan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/2008/09/16/perbedaan-freelance-online-dan-freelance-offline/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Perbedaan Freelance Online dan 
Freelance Offline&quot;&gt;freelance online dengan freelance offline&lt;/a&gt;. Saya  sendiri bekerja sebagai offline dan online freelancer. Namun kali ini  saya akan membagikan pengalaman saya tentang bagaimana bekerja sebagai  offline freelancer. Di sini saya merangkum dalam beberapa point, yaitu 9  hal yang perlu diperhatikan oleh para offline freelancer saat akan  melakukan offline meeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-2587&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Jadwal Meeting&lt;/h3&gt;Saat kita menerima telephone dari calon client, yang entah dari mana  datangnya. Ini sudah merupakan start yang bagus, setidaknya anda  selangkah lebih maju daripada para tim sales. Karena yang sedang  menghubungi anda adalah orang yang jelas membutuhkan jasa anda.  Seharusnya bisa lebih mudah untuk anda menawarkan jasa anda. Yang paling  penting di sini adalah atur jadwal meeting yang jelas dan juga  tempatnya. Bisa di tempat umum, bisa di kantor client, bisa juga di  kantor (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.massivelab.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2741&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.massivelab.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2741&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;workstation&lt;/a&gt;) anda sendiri. Jangan tanya darimana si  calon client tahu tentang anda, karena akan terdengar kurang profesional  dan menurut saya agak kurang sopan. Biasanya tanpa perlu kita tanya, si  client akan memberitahu dengan sendirinya darimana dia mengetahui  tentang anda.  &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Pakaian&lt;/h3&gt;Apa yang anda kenakan, itu menunjukkan citra diri anda. Penting untuk  berpenampilan rapi dan sopan ketika akan melaksanakan offline meeting.  Memang tidak harus memakai kemeja, jas, dan dasi. Anda bisa mengenakan  kaos yang menurut anda “menarik”, dalam point ini adalah apabila anda  seorang Designer, maka tidak salah apabila anda berpenampilan casual,  dengan kaos warna cerah, atau warna warni, celana jeans, dan sepatu  sporty. Beberapa client saya tidak akan terlalu terkejut dengan  penampilan saya tersebut, karena saya sudah menunjukkan image tersebut  pada &lt;a href=&quot;http://yopdesign.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/yopdesign.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;website saya&lt;/a&gt;. Namun  anda perlu memperhatikan jenis client anda, untuk menentukan pakaian  jenis apa yang layak anda pakai saat akan melakukan offline meeting  dengan calon client. Untuk corporate besar, misalnya seperti telkom,  indofood, nestle (ahh kapan saya baru bisa dapet client seperti itu),  tentu saya menganjurkan anda berpakaian rapi, setidaknya menggunakan  kemeja dan sepatu kerja. Dan apabila anda akan bertemu dengan calon  client orang pemerintahan, seperti misalnya Bpk Presiden &lt;a href=&quot;http://sbypresidenku.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/sbypresidenku.com&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Susilo Bambang  Yudhoyono&lt;/a&gt;, anda bisa menggunakan kemeja batik untuk tampil beda. Oh  ya, sekedar sharing, saya pernah bertemu dengan client yang offline  meeting dengan saya dengan baju dan celana yang sobek-sobek. Saat itu  adalah awal karir saya. Do you know what i think of that time? “Is this  person gonna pay me??” But yes he did, but please, first impression is  important.  &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Matikan Handphone&lt;/h3&gt;Tidak hanya saat akan menonton bioskop, atau hendak melakukan ibadah.  Mematikan handphone pada saat offline meeting adalah keputusan yang  sangat tepat. Karena tentu anda tidak ingin terganggu saat sedang  melakukan meeting bukan? Membuat handphone anda silent bukan ide yang  bagus, anda tetap akan merasakan vibrate yang berasal dari kantung  celana atau baju anda, yang tentunya bisa mengganggu konsentrasi anda  saat sedang melakukan presentasi di offline meeting. Tentu saja ini juga  salah satu bentuk menghormati client kita. Meskipun nantinya mungkin  anda akan ditinggalkan client anda di tengah offline meeting untuk  menerima telephone, itu tidak masalah, yang penting bukan anda yang  tidak menghargai client. Kita tidak perlu mengikuti kesalahan orang lain  bukan?  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Bersalaman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Merupakan salah satu bentuk komunikasi fisik yang bagus dan masih  trend sampai abad 21 ini. Bersalaman merupakan wujud para profesional  memperkenalkan dirinya kepada client. Tentu saja jangan hanya bersalaman  sambil tersenyum manja, tapi juga sebutkanlah nama anda dan tanyakan  siapa nama client anda bila anda belum mengetahuinya. Atau bila anda  sudah mengetahui namanya, anda bisa bersikap sok tau dan sok kenal,  misalnya “Bapak Agus ya? Senang bertemu dengan anda pak, selamat siang”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Kartu Nama&lt;/h3&gt;Sebelum memulai meeting ada baiknya anda memberikan kartu nama anda.  Menarik sekali karena hampir pada kebanyakan offline meeting yang saya  jalani, kartu nama ini pasti berguna. Karena seringkali di tengah-tengah  meeting, client hendak menyebutkan nama kita pada obrolan, namun sang  client melupakan nama kita. Maka gerakan yang sering saya lihat adalah  client akan melirik lagi pada kartu nama yang saya berikan pada awal  meeting. Kartu nama ini juga berguna sebagai reminder untuk calon client  apabila nanti hendak berhubungan lagi dengan kita nantinya setelah  offline meeting, untuk bekerja sama lebih jauh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Laptop dan Mobile Modem&lt;/h3&gt;Kedua hal di atas saya kira penting. Dulu saat memulai bisnis  freelance web. Saat itu saya masih belum memiliki laptop. Dan tentu saja  ini fatal. “Kerjanya bikin web tapi kok ga punya laptop?” Ya bukan hal  yang tidak mungkin, tapi kebanyakan client pasti akan berpikir demikian.  Dan jelas mereka akan meragukan kredibilitas kita. Kenapa penting untuk  membawa laptop? Karena laptop bisa menampung banyak hal yang kita  butuhkan. Seperti menampung informasi tentang project yang akan  berjalan, presentasi, portfolio, dsb. Dan mengapa modem penting? Ya  setidaknya saya hendak menyampaikan, sebisa mungkin untuk bisa online.  Karena di tengah obrolan nanti, anda bisa jadi akan meminta referensi  dari client, jauh lebih mudah mencari informasi secara online, yang  ruangnya tak terbatas, daripada local harddisk yang isinya terbatas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Presentasi&lt;/h3&gt;Ini adalah inti dari tujuan meeting offline anda. Presentasikan  sejelas-jelasnya mengenai jasa anda. Bisa jelaskan kelebihan anda,  mengapa anda, siapa anda. Perkenalkanlah diri anda dengan baik,  hati-hati dalam menggunakan kata-kata. Jangan sampai anda menjanjikan  apa yang tidak bisa anda berikan pada client. Bisa jadi boomerang  nantinya untuk diri anda sendiri. Namun jangan hanya banyak bicara  tentunya, tapi juga banyaklah mendengar. Setelah client cukup kenal  dengan diri kita sendiri, dengarkanlah kebutuhan client. Ini merupakan  salah satu titik penting yang menjadi kelebihan daripada freelancer.  Seringkali client saya mengatakan bahwa menyenangkan bekerja dengan  freelancer, karena freelancer lebih mendengarkan, bisa bicara dari hati  ke hati. Sebisa mungkin untuk bersikap profesional saat melakukan  presentasi, namun jangan sampai terlihat kaku. Coba saksikan film John  Travolta dan Robbin Williams, “&lt;a href=&quot;http://21cineplex.com/old-dogs,movie,2191.htm&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/21cineplex.com/old-dogs,movie,2191.htm&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Old Dogs&quot;&gt;Old Dogs&lt;/a&gt;“, bercanda di tengah rapat, dan membuat  calon client tertawa, bisa jadi menyenangkan, tapi saya tidak  menganjurkan untuk berlebihan seperti di film tersebut haha….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Portfolio Online/Offline&lt;/h3&gt;Sebagai freelancer, seringkali bekerja secara personal. Kebanyakan  freelancer juga belum memiliki perusahaan berbadan hukum atas usahanya  sendiri. Karena apabila sudah berbadan hukum, saya kira namanya bukan  freelancer lagi, dan tentunya bukan lagi &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/2009/09/18/freelance-kerja-sampingan/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Freelance, Kerja 
Sampingan?&quot;&gt;freelancer yang bekerja sampingan&lt;/a&gt;. Jadi bagaimana  calon client anda akan percaya bahwa anda reliable dan bisa memberikan  apa yang mereka harapkan? Bagi kebanyakan freelancer, portfolio adalah  bentuk nyata untuk meyakinkan calon client, bahwa kita reliable dan bisa  memberikan kepuasan pada calon client. &lt;a href=&quot;http://yopdesign.com/blog/projects/223-portfolio-berbicara.html&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/yopdesign.com/blog/projects/223-portfolio-berbicara.html&#39;);&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Portfolio Berbicara&quot;&gt;Portfolio berbicara&lt;/a&gt; lebih baik daripada kata-kata  yang panjang pada proposal. Namun supaya tidak terjadi “anda puas kami  lemas”, maka quote-lah harga yang sepantasnya untuk anda. Karena kita  tentu tidak berharap jaman penjajahan (kerja rodi/romusha) terjadi lagi  di abad 21 ini. That’s just kidding guys…  &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Efisiensi Waktu&lt;/h3&gt;Ini adalah terakhir dan merupakan penutup dari hal-hal penting yang  saya rangkum. Efisiensi waktu, berbicaralah seperlunya, jangan basa-basi  atau berputar-putar. Dan juga gunakan waktu yang ada sebaik-baiknya.  Normalnya offline meeting berlangsung antara 30-120menit, itu pun  tergantung pada topik pembahasannya. Jadi bila anda merasa topik  pembahasan sudah habis, dan diantara kalian sudah tidak ada yang mau  disampaikan, janganlah menunggu untuk diusir. Cobalah mengucapkan,  “Masihkah ada yang mau ditanyakan pak?” Kalau sudah tidak ada, tutuplah  offline meeting tersebut. Bersikaplah sebagai profesional yang sibuk,  jangan sampai seolah anda adalah pengangguran, yang bisa seharian  meluangkan waktu anda duduk di kantor calon client anda.&lt;br /&gt;
Bekerja sebagai offline freelancer memang punya beberapa kekurangan.  Seperti misalnya, anda tidak bisa banyak berharap bahwa anda pasti akan  mendapatkan project tersebut. Bisa jadi waktu offline meeting anda  adalah sia-sia. Tapi ada juga keuntungan yang di dapat. Semakin sering  kita berhadapan langsung dengan client, semakin sering kita bisa belajar  bersosialisasi dengan calon client, dan belajar bagaimana  mempresentasikan bisnis kita secara langsung. Dengan banyak belajar kita  bisa &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/2009/09/02/diskusi-siapa-bilang-sukses-harus-nunggu-tua/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Siapa Bilang Sukses Harus Nunggu Tua?&quot;&gt;sukses tanpa harus menunggu tua&lt;/a&gt;. Apa yang saya  sampaikan di atas mungkin masih banyak kekurangan juga, jadi marilah  kita sharing bersama. Go Freelance!&lt;br /&gt;

Pernah tergabung dalam sebuah band indie membuat saya cukup &lt;em&gt;aware&lt;/em&gt;  dengan bagaimana cara musisi indie berjuang. Berbeda dengan musisi  major label, musisi indie membuat album sendiri, mempromosikannya  sendiri, mencari celah pada event-event tertentu yang memungkinkan  mereka mendapatkan kesempatan manggung, dan proses lainnya yang sangat  panjang hingga pada akhirnya meraih popularitas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;more-2475&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kenapa jadi membahas musisi indie? Well, selama ini saya selalu  beranggapan bahwa freelance graphic designer itu ibaratnya musisi  independent (indie), dan graphic designer kantoran adalah musisi major  label. Kita bebas mengerjakan desain dengan style apa saja, tergantung  pintar-pintarnya &lt;em&gt;speak&lt;/em&gt; kepada klien. Tidak ada komplain dari  Art Director. Tidak ada yang namanya disuruh-suruh, layaknya musisi  indie yang bebas memainkan musik apa saja tanpa harus memikirkan kemauan  produser. Tidak di-&lt;em&gt;support&lt;/em&gt; label besar–dalam kasus kita, tidak  disupport kantor advertising besar.&lt;br /&gt;
Mengamati bagaimana cara musisi indie bergerak dari bawah hingga  menuju puncak kesuksesan, beberapa diantaranya ternyata cukup efektif  untuk diterapkan dalam berbagai profesi. Termasuk profesi kita,  freelancer. Saya akan coba membahas &lt;del&gt;strategi marketing &lt;/del&gt;cara  self-promotion yang diadaptasi dari cara musisi indie bergerilya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Apalah arti sebuah nama?&lt;/h2&gt;Jawabannya: sangat penting! Nama, bagi sebuah musisi indie, terutama  band, amat sangat penting artinya. Nama adalah identitas. Mereka rela  menggali puluhan sumber, membaca thesaurus, dan membuka kamus bahasa  asing, hanya untuk mencari sebuah frasa yang bisa dengan bangga mereka  bawa bersama dengan hasil karya mereka. Frasa itu bisa mengandung  filosofi tertentu, atau hanya sebuah kata yang terdengar enak bila  diucapkan.&lt;br /&gt;
Untuk para freelancer, nama adalah personal branding. Mas Chris  Prakoso menyebut personal branding sebagai &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/2009/11/06/personal-branding-sebagai-senjata-rahasia-para-freelancer/&quot;&gt;senjata  rahasia para freelancer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Beberapa graphic designer memiliki nama alias di internet (online  identity). Contohnya Nik Ainley dengan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shinybinary.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.shinybinary.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Shiny Binary&lt;/a&gt;, Pete Harrison  dengan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aeiko.net/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.aeiko.net&#39;);&quot;&gt;Aeiko&lt;/a&gt;, atau pahlawan lokal Yoga  Mahendra dengan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.machine56.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.machine56.com/&#39;);&quot;&gt;machine56&lt;/a&gt;. Cukup bangga memakai  nama anda sendiri? Go ahead! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.davidairey.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.davidairey.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;David Airey&lt;/a&gt; sukses membangun  personal branding dengan namanya sendiri. Buat sebuah nama. Bangkitkan  citra yang baik terhadap nama tersebut. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Social Networking&lt;/h2&gt;Nama besar portal social networking Myspace terbukti telah mengubah  jalan hidup banyak musisi independen. Dari yang sukses menjual album dan  merchandise, mendapat &lt;em&gt;gig&lt;/em&gt; (istilah untuk tawaran manggung),  hingga tawaran rekaman oleh label besar.  Untuk freelancer, banyak &lt;em&gt;social  networking&lt;/em&gt; alternatif. Mas Aria Rajasa pernah menulis artikel  keren tentang &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/2009/05/07/personal-branding-diri-dengan-social-media/&quot;&gt;pesonal  branding dengan social media&lt;/a&gt;. Dari yang umum seperti &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.twitter.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; dan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.facebook.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, hingga yang mengkhususkan  diri untuk graphic designer seperti &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.behance.net/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.behance.net&#39;);&quot;&gt;Behance&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deviantart.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.deviantart.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Deviantart&lt;/a&gt;, dan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cpluv.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.cpluv.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;ComputerLove&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
Saran dari saya: buat account di setiap portal networking yang anda  tahu. Maintain account setiap beberapa minggu sekali. Manfaatkan luasnya  jaringan untuk mencari teman. Semakin banyak anda mendaftar, semakin  besar kemungkinan anda untuk ditemukan calon klien. Suatu ketika saya  terkejut ketika dihubungi oleh seorang klien yang mengenal saya dari  situs X, padahal saya lupa saya pernah mendaftar disana (saking terlalu  banyak). Anda tidak akan pernah tahu kalau tidak mencoba &lt;img alt=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Merchandising&lt;/h2&gt;Seberapa sering anda melihat T-shirt bergambar lidah menjulur khas  band rock Rolling Stone? Atau logo The Ramones diatas kaos hitam? Dalam  scene musik independen, merchandise adalah salah satu cara untuk  meningkatkan &lt;em&gt;presence&lt;/em&gt; dan income, tentunya. Untuk kita para  graphic designer, merchandise adalah salah satu trik colongan marketing  gratis (yang keren). Merchandising disini tidak perlu barang yang real.  Wong kita freelancing juga online, betul? &lt;img alt=&quot;;)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif&quot; /&gt;  Memproduksi freebies, dalam kasus ini,  adalah salah satu bentuk merchandising. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adii.co.za/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.adii.co.za&#39;);&quot;&gt;Adii&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;founder&lt;/em&gt; marketplace  premium themes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.woothemes.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.woothemes.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;WooThemes&lt;/a&gt;, tetap menyempatkan  dirinya untuk merilis wordpress theme gratisan. Tujuannya? Pastinya  untuk meraih jaringan klien yang lebih luas. Blog web development  terkenal &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smashingmagazine.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.smashingmagazine.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Smashing Magazine&lt;/a&gt; bahkan  membuka dirinya bagi graphic designer yang ingin merilis freebies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Aktif di Forum&lt;/h2&gt;Cara ini cukup general bagi semua profesi. Walaupun sekarang sudah  muncul banyak alternatif komunitas online, forum tidak pernah mati.  Walaupun &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friendster.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.friendster.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Friendster&lt;/a&gt; telah berganti &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.facebook.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; dan IRC berganti Messenger,  tetap saja tidak ada yang bisa mengalahkan kejayaan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kaskus.us/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.kaskus.us/&#39;);&quot;&gt;Kaskus&lt;/a&gt; (maaf untuk contoh ini saya  agak random &lt;img alt=&quot;:P&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif&quot; /&gt; ).&lt;br /&gt;
Forum-forum musik, baik luar maupun dalam negeri, biasanya memiliki  room khusus Song Review, dimana para musisi &lt;em&gt;home recording&lt;/em&gt; dan  band indie membuat thread tentang musik mereka dengan tujuan mendapat  kritik, saran, maupun pujian dari anggota yang lebih senior. Untuk para  web designer, Smashing Magazine Forum memiliki room khusus bernama  Review My Site, dimana kita menunjukkan hasil web design kita disana,  lalu sesama forum member memberi kritik dan saran. Ini merupakan cara  yang cukup &lt;em&gt;tricky&lt;/em&gt;, karena sebelum me-&lt;em&gt;review&lt;/em&gt; web kita,  mereka pasti akan mengunjunginya dulu. Traffic traffic &lt;img alt=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ruangfreelance.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Indonesia memiliki &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.massivelab.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.massivelab.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Massive Lab&lt;/a&gt;, forum lokal tempat  para graphic designer senior berkumpul. Disana ada room bernama Show  Off, yang fungsinya sama seperti Review My Site dari Smashing Magazine  Forum. &lt;em&gt;What I’m trying to say here&lt;/em&gt; adalah Anda tidak pernah  tahu siapa yang akan anda temui di forum. Mungkin si X adalah Senior Art  Director, atau si Y adalah sesama freelancer yang sering menangani  klien besar. Dengan membiarkan mereka melihat hasil karya Anda, bukan  tidak mungkin ke depannya Anda kecipratan order atau (sesial-sialnya) &lt;em&gt;outsource&lt;/em&gt;  dari mereka. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Go Out and Play – in the Right Zone&lt;/h2&gt;Bila musik memiliki &lt;em&gt;genre&lt;/em&gt;, design memiliki &lt;em&gt;style&lt;/em&gt;.  Istilahnya, band jazz harus keluar dan manggung di klub jazz untuk  mendapatkan apresiasi yang sepantasnya. Apabila band jazz manggung di  bar rock, bukannya tidak mungkin mereka ditimpuk botol.&lt;br /&gt;
Apabila hingga saat ini karya anda hanya untuk dinikmati klien saja,  keluarlah. Dan tunjukkan karya anda kepada dunia. Namun pastikan anda  bergabung di zona yang tepat, dimana berisi orang-orang yang memiliki  passion untuk style yang sama dengan anda. Berikut beberapa contoh zona  pamer karya yang mungkin tepat dengan minat Anda:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Apabila anda maniak logo, pamerkan karya Anda di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.logopond.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.logopond.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Logopond&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apabila anda seorang illustrator, coba bermain-main di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.illypads.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.illypads.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Illypads&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apabila anda menyukai photo manipulation, silakan aktif di &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evokeone.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.evokeone.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Evoke&lt;/a&gt; dan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slashthree.com/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.slashthree.com&#39;);&quot;&gt;Slashthree&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apabila anda seorang web designer, hajar semua CSS gallery list dan  post website anda disana! CSS gallery list sekarang sudah tidak  terhitung banyaknya. Mau bukti? Silakan kunjungi &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.csszone.org/css-gallery-list/&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#39;/outgoing/www.csszone.org/css-gallery-list/&#39;);&quot;&gt;200 CSS Gallery List&lt;/a&gt;  atau google “CSS Gallery List”.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;Kurang lebih itulah yang bisa kita lakukan sebagai freelancer. Tidak  ada yang bisa membantu karir kita kecuali diri kita sendiri. Mari angkat  tangan dan katakan dengan bangga: &lt;strong&gt;Kita adalah pejuang  independen!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
