Pen tool, a machine-gun for designers in Inkscape | Inkscape tutorial 3

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Tue, 22 May 2012 21:16:00 +0000

Pen tool is one of the important and most frequently used tool for designers. It should be known as designers' machine-gun because it does work like that. Pen tool is very easy to use. Sometime (all most all the time) you need to imitate a graphic to use or to improve its style, quality, color or use it as add-on for your own design. At that time you can use your pen-tool-weapon. Pen tool is used for tracing out designs, images or elements in a big picture. I will show you how you can make a graphi-copy of any object. I am going to design a simple leaf graphic from an image. You can download it from here. (Right click and 'save image as' ).

Note : If you didn't go through previous initial tutorials then here are the links

3 Screen Capturing Extensions for Chrome And Firefox

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:07:00 +0000

You may need to take snapshot of the webpage you want to share or sometimes to show what error you are getting so people can help you through. But it is little bit lengthy if you do it with PrntScr button on your keyboard. For those who don't even know about the PrntScr button : It captures (Copy) active screen and you can paste it in any graphic editor, simply in MS Paint. Then you can insert text, shapes and arrows to attract attention of people. You can crop the image also if you want just a specific portion of the image. But how if you get a feature right there in your browser to capture/upload/edit and share the screenshot/crops you have taken! Great, isn't it? Anyways following are few extensions for most used browsers Chrome and FireFox which will help you to take screenshot of whatever you want!

1. Awesome Screenshot

It is very simple but awesome chrome extension to capture the screen.

Features : Annotation with Shapes, Arrows, Lines, Text and blur the content you don't want to show up.

Google Drive Is Out Of Its Garage, Finally! Where to Sign Up?

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:40:00 +0000

Search giant Google has a new baby named Google Drive, can be considered as rival of DropBox, Apple's iCloud and Microsoft's SkyDrive. Google always come up with very useful features for Businesses and this Google Drive is one of them. It basically runs on cloud base systems, which means one can be able to edit files directly on the net (cloud) instead of downloading it to PC, modifying and again uploading to same place. In addition as this is Google service I hope file manipulation will be of improved-type and fast.

Initially Google Drive is only supported from Android Devices, PCs and Macs. For iDevices it will available soon, Google Said. Check out the Google Drive official Launch Video here

Quality of articles you wrote on your blog has very crucial 'role' in search engine ranking (SERP) 'play'. It reflects your efforts behind your work and Google(and rest) always been in search of that shine of reflection to improve their search results. Past scenario was different when you can get attention to your blog by just copy and pasting others' efforts. If you do only copy-paste from where you get creativeness? How you can find your interest or skills? How you will improve skills you already have?

There are few genuine reasons and hell of bad intentions or 'daydreams' of 'overnight' success. But if you really want to be a good blogger, you must have faith in 'Go[d]ogle' :D , tons of patience and regular doses of splinterproof dedication.

3D Google Graph equations. And a trick How you can generate your own?

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Google has been launched this feature since long, but its magic is not over yet. When Google has launched the Google Graph Feature there were few equations rolling on internet like "Heart Shape Graph" or "Batman Graph" etc. But those were 2D graphs and what I have here are 2 equations for 3D Google Graph. They are just pattern not any recognizable shape or identity but it is interesting if you are Maths-Man. You can generate your own equations if you are good at Mathematics. May be you can equate 3D Heart Graph or say Shiny BatMan Logo. Anyways have a look at following snapshots and try out given two equations.

Google's Secret Leaked. Get the google code to build one at your home.

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 06:10:00 +0000

This is amazing, Google the search giant's secret is no more a suspense. Google itself released its code to the world and now anyone can use it to build a tiny data center at home. By this step of Google, it is seemed to be like Google has not afraid about its competitors in mean of search engines. And by providing this code Google is actually playing politically because if you have ready made Hotdog on your desk you wont get up and go to the store for the variety. I think you got the mean. If I start writing about Google's Source Code then it may take more than a cat life (9 lives).

Angry Bird Space in Customize look, How you can do that too?

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:02:00 +0000

This may not be a big deal but you should check this out if you are bored of that Angry bird music ,weird bird tweets and it may be same splash screen of every Angry Bird versions. You can kick Rovio out of that screen and can put your own Name or Logo or anything. You can even change birds appearance but it will need a lots of designing skills, you must be careful even about a single pixel. By the way for this case you are not required to have any special skills. It is very simple that a 9 year old kid can do this. So lets start.

Boring Splash (Rovio) Screen of Angry Bird Space, I have just downloaded.

Not knowing? you can go through my previous post on the topic "Images in facebook chat? Really cool feature". But as of now I am showing you the trick how to insert a "BIG" emoctions in facebook chat/message. I have written codes to paste in facebook chat/message, but look they don't work anywhere else than chat or message like on comment or as status they don't seemed to be working.

Actually it is not single big-piece of image, it is made up of bunch of smaller sized thumbnails. Check the following codes. Paste it in your chat/message and send it to your friends. You will see nicely arranged bunch of thumbnails to create a big picture.

New to web designing? Here are few Firefox extension you should give a try

noreply@blogger.com (Prerak Trivedi) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:04:00 +0000

Want to be a web designer? Or have you interest to learn it for your fond. Me too :D. I often play with the webpages, tweak their HTML, Inject some new CSS properties, played with jQuery too. If you really want to start your voyage in web designing, you'll need to have enough knowledge about basic and intermediate tags/codes of designing languages like HTML,XML,CSS,PHP etc. And I believe in "Trial and Error" technique. Books and Guides are good but don't just go through them try to implement or say try it directly you'll come to know the concept better and in depth.So here is a short (but helpful) list of firefox (because I am using it.) extension (You can find out same for Chrome also, use Google nice way).
