Everybody. <br /><br />- People in advertising when presenting concepts to their audience or trying to direct attention. <br /><br /><div>- Sellers in different kinds of promotions when images are used to clarify text or create great impression. </div><div>- Publishers and self-published authors in books and as book cover design. </div><div>- Newspapers and web portals when presenting information. </div><div>- Small and not so small business for brochures and newsletters.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div>- Website administrators, designers and software developers for all kinds of stuff like banners, website graphics and software graphics.<br /><br /><br />OK, not everybody literally but many people are using illustrations on daily basis.<br /><br /><br />One option is to use stock agencies like Shutterstock or iStockPhoto just to name a few. These websites offer quality images, but you have to pay the price. For example, iStockPhoto offers access to all images all year long subscription where you can download 10, 25, 50 or 750 images per month, and price for 10 images per month is 70 Euros, for 750 image price is 266 Euros per month. That is not small fee. I'm not saying illustrators doesn't deserve to get paid, just not everyone have a budget to pay that price. Most popular package with Shutterstock is 350 images per month and price is 169 $.<br /><br /><br />Now let's see what are free options.<br /><div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chgBybQlbXA/XY_F_kfcPHI/AAAAAAAAArw/vhNVJl9rStQ3uJ48_ozsPFDWMjzrmHJdwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FreeIllustrations.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-chgBybQlbXA/XY_F_kfcPHI/AAAAAAAAArw/vhNVJl9rStQ3uJ48_ozsPFDWMjzrmHJdwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/FreeIllustrations.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One you can't miss is obviously Google. Just type "Illustrations people" for example. Awesome results on first page, right? They are, but the problem is you can't use all of those for commercial projects. To filter results click on Tools, then usage rights and select "Labeled for reuse with modification" option. Now we are talking. Now you can use all of those illustrations for free. Is that super-awesome or what? But wait, I hear you say, where are all those amazing artsy images gone? It's time for truth my friend. They are not free.</div><br /><br />It doesn't have to be that way. There are places where professional illustrations can be downloaded for free or with attribution. Some already known websites are Freepik and Pixabay. They offer mix of good and bad because anyone can upload their art.<br /><br />There is also a new player in town - Glazestock. These fellows have library which us "curated by expert moderators that account for changing visual styles, high quality craftsmanship and strong aesthetic value".<br /><br />Glazestock illustrations are gathered in several Collections like Technology, Travel, People, Teamwork, Mindfulness, Health &amp; Life Sciences and more.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bth-y2Go7dw/XY_G--WxenI/AAAAAAAAAr4/DubLFtJWNMwLuUmK8zcL1d6dab5jn-PxwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FreeIllustrationExample.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bth-y2Go7dw/XY_G--WxenI/AAAAAAAAAr4/DubLFtJWNMwLuUmK8zcL1d6dab5jn-PxwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/FreeIllustrationExample.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /><br /><br />My favorite Collection is Business &amp; Commerce. <br /><br />Glazestock is focused on quality, so there are not many items yet. However it is just question of time when some new illustrators will recognize potential and contribute more great free content. <br /><br />Finally, they also have non-free plans, but I'll skip that for this post.<br /><br />If you think after Glazestock it can't get any better, think again!<br /><br />Check out <b>Undraw</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPVxB3RjQ9c/XZEWPksaaGI/AAAAAAAAAsM/ShJcM3Q2_xcFHWVDM0oTrKun4mpxCs0-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/FreeIllustrationsSVG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="453" data-original-width="600" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPVxB3RjQ9c/XZEWPksaaGI/AAAAAAAAAsM/ShJcM3Q2_xcFHWVDM0oTrKun4mpxCs0-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/FreeIllustrationsSVG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Undraw offers huge collection of really awesome illustrations, fit for any usage.

It can be business presentation, educational and training or personal story etc. PowerPoint is very popular and it is probably the world’s most popular software for creating presentations. Individual slides contain text, graphics and multi-media files which presents information on a specific topic.

Next step is possibility for everyone to send their own photo to be included in this project.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There are plugins for Sketch and Adobe XD for this service. Even more, Adobe has supported this project with Adobe Fund for Desing initiative.&nbsp;</div><br /><br />Images come from sources like Unsplash, Pexels, RandomUser, TinyFaces and IMDB. This means you don't need permission from those people to use the images, as stated by author.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWt6MlRBqSw/XI2GrS5NkiI/AAAAAAAAApk/CX3F2UYErbUp_YVNSFCBBB2-K8qBu2a9gCLcBGAs/s1600/UIFaces2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="600" height="202" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWt6MlRBqSw/XI2GrS5NkiI/AAAAAAAAApk/CX3F2UYErbUp_YVNSFCBBB2-K8qBu2a9gCLcBGAs/s400/UIFaces2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You can filter images by age, gender, hair color or emotion.

Some of the best photo editing software have very good background removal tools. If this is the way you wanna roll [🚵], that's great, but be ready to spend some time doing it.

Let me introduce you with two services you may find interesting: <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Remove.bg</span> and <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Photoscissors.com</span>.

Main difference is that live() will attach our mouseover event to every paragraph created in the future, not only existing ones like bind() will do.<br /><br />I wanna show you this important difference, so I'll attach click event to paragraph which will append new paragraph with random number of characters after clicked one. Here is entire file.<br /><br />script.js<br /><pre style="font-family: Andale Mono, Lucida Console, Monaco, fixed, monospace; color: #000000; background-color: #eee;font-size: 12px;border: 1px dashed #999999;line-height: 14px;padding: 5px; overflow: auto; width: 80%"><code><br />$('p').live('mouseover', function() {<br /> <br /> // calculate number of characters in paragraph<br /> var chnum = $(this).text().length;<br /> <br /> // show it as tooltip<br /> $(this).attr('title', chnum+' characters in this paragraph.');<br /> <br />});<br /><br />$('p').live('click', function() {<br /> <br /> // create random string with max length 40<br /> var rn = Math.floor( Math.random()*40 );<br /> var rs = '';<br /> for(i=0; i&lt;rn; i++) {<br /> rs += Math.floor( Math.random()*9 );<br /> };<br /> <br /> // create new paragaph and append it<br /> $('&lt;p&gt; - new paragraph added '+rs+'&lt;/p&gt;').appendTo($(this));<br />});<br /></code></pre><br /><br />Hope this will be useful to someone.<br /><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" border="0" width="125" height="16" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-18638446864367475872011-01-10T06:43:00.000-08:002011-01-10T06:43:00.434-08:00This theme designed by Denoizzed comes with fullscreen image / video background.

You can also upload image from your computer and create palette based on that image.<br /><br />Exporting your colors palette is fast and easy (and free), with just single click. You can export to Adobe Swatch Exchange format .ASE, Adobe Photoshop .ACO, PNG image or simple Text file.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KhsOzUmjFI/TSWbt8qyALI/AAAAAAAAAUk/E6meC92-Jvs/s1600/ColorPicker2.gif"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 181px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KhsOzUmjFI/TSWbt8qyALI/AAAAAAAAAUk/E6meC92-Jvs/s320/ColorPicker2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559020528740729010" border="0" /></a><br />For me, this is major time saver, cause I don't need to PrintScreen my newly created color palettes on other 'cool' online color pickers ;)<br /><br />ColorExplorer has many more awesome features to check out.

Design is awesome (that's why I'm presenting it here :), template is compatible with all major browsers and it is well documented.<br /><br />It's really "fun on the run"!<br /><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" border="0" width="125" height="16" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-29951943621825383962010-12-21T16:22:00.000-08:002010-12-21T16:34:09.597-08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">There are talented people with both coding and design skills. Those are, however, rare and very expensive. Often, you have to look for separate individuals who specialize in programming or design.<br /><br />On the other hand, you may be that talented one and you can do entire project yourself, but if you are not (like me) maybe it's time for you to find your perfect match. If you are programmer and you need a designer for your game, website or next big application, make sure you check ProgrammerMeetDesigner.com<br /><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://programmermeetdesigner.com/" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 77px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KhsOzUmjFI/TRFGLXmuV6I/AAAAAAAAAT4/fODFRy00Mlc/s320/programmermeetdesigner1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553296976653473698" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Partnerships are international and one excellent thing about it is that you can browse projects by required knowledge.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 244px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5KhsOzUmjFI/TRFGvWwqxAI/AAAAAAAAAUA/rnyvI1zxgHk/s400/programmermeetdesigner2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553297594902037506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">What do you think?<br /></div><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" border="0" width="125" height="16" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-31581912522943251122010-12-18T12:51:00.000-08:002010-12-18T13:14:49.999-08:00Best way to quote any web page using screenshot is using <a href="http://kwout.com/" target="_blank">KWOUT</a>, free online service. Without any delay here is example of using Kwout:<br /><br /><div class="kwout" style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://kwout.com/cutout/b/iu/z4/x5a_bor_rou.jpg" alt="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/" title="Webomatik" style="border: medium none;" usemap="#map_biuz4x5a" width="313" height="89" /><map id="map_biuz4x5a" name="map_biuz4x5a"><area coords="233,60,303,79" href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/2008/10/become-co-author.html" alt="" shape="rect"><area coords="125,60,176,79" href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/2008/07/archive.html" alt="" shape="rect"><area coords="66,60,121,79" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/webomatik" alt="" shape="rect"><area coords="180,60,228,79" href="http://kontactr.com/user/webomatik" alt="" shape="rect"><area coords="35,9,154,38" href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/" alt="" shape="rect"><area coords="22,60,62,79" href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/" alt="" shape="rect"></map><p style="margin-top: 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://webomatik.blogspot.com/">Webomatik</a> via <a href="http://kwout.com/quote/biuz4x5a">kwout</a></p></div><br />You may notice, this isn't just an image, it is working image map, which means links are live and clickable.<br /><br />For best experience use bookmarklet available from Kwout homepage. There are few useful options. You can choose to post your quote on your website, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc. You can also add annotation using Any Canvas or Pixlr. You can also add video comment and allow other people to quote on your quote.<br /><br />This service offers API which allows you to list all referers who quoted your website or blog.<br /><br />Give Kwout a try and then answer this question: do you find Kwout useful and how would you use it, or how do you already use it?<br /><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" border="0" width="125" height="16" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-55421514619183907272010-12-10T04:11:00.000-08:002010-12-10T04:33:04.486-08:00Since its start Google Font Directory promised to help designers embed cool fonts in their web projects. They kept their promise and much more. Is there better place to securely store awesome fonts than Google? I think if Google fails, web will go down with it ...<br /><br />Website and blogs created on top of numerous platforms can utilize expanding Directory library and there are many really cool examples out there. One of them is <a href="http://themeforest.net/item/intermezzo/135927/?ref=flanture">Intermezzo Business Joomla Template</a> created by Tweencore, which uses <a href="http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Droid+Sans&amp;subset=latin" target="_blank">Droid Sans</a> font hosted on Google Font Directory.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://themeforest.net/item/intermezzo/135927/?ref=flanture"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 204px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5KhsOzUmjFI/TQIcKpIKPGI/AAAAAAAAATw/UQcL7n4zNUE/s400/BusinessJoomlaTemplate.jpg" alt="Joomla Template preview" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549028660038220898" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Recently Directory become searchable (new word!) by category and there are four categories right now: Cyrillic, Greek, Khmer and Latin. You can also browse fonts by popularity, alphabet and number of variants.<br /><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" border="0" width="125" height="16" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-56857187040139526752010-03-22T06:14:00.000-07:002010-03-22T06:21:54.842-07:00<div style="text-align: justify;">If you already have a website or you are currently building one and you need shopping cart and e-commerce solution, this excellent article is must read.

Sometimes that free feature is small, but some developers allow big portion of application to be available for zero bucks and that's main dish for Webomatik!<br /><br />When it comes to drawing Diagrams online, our favorite so far is definitely <a href="http://www.gliffy.com/" target="_blank">Gliffy</a>.

If you have experience with it, you can post about it on Webomatik, just contact.<br /><br /><br /><div style="padding: 5px; background-color: rgb(49, 135, 186); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&amp;pub=0PR3WAPTT3957SW8&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" width="125" border="0" height="16" /></a> <br /><div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1471046&amp;loc=en_US">updates via e-mail</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142565509449142769.post-82528944833078975592009-08-18T12:42:00.000-07:002009-09-01T02:35:14.982-07:00<div style="text-align: justify;">Twitter has expanded very fast. Those early birds who managed to take accounts with good names may have some advantage, but as most cases show those accounts are mainly abandoned or used for wrong reasons. As we all know (and some of you still don't) Twitter doesn't allow selling or buying accounts and this activity can lead to suspension.<br /><br />What about accounts which represent public stuff like countries and cities? Situation is similar and even those can be used for public info display, very few of them actually does and it all depends on individual will. That's a shame because Twitter has proved to be the best live 'as-it-happens' info medium ever and I can imagine hundred of good uses for cities and countries accounts.<br /><br />Only imagine when natural disaster hits any city! Remember, Twitter is mobile phones enabled and valuable information can be distributed fast and to those in need.<br /><br />Anyway, here are some European cities Twitter accounts with details like following / followers / tweets and if account is related with city activity, not related, set to private or suspended.<br /></div><br /><br />@Liverpool 8347 / 13106 / 2646 (related)<br />@Amsterdam 59 / 919 / 1411 (related)<br />@Prague 0 / 143 / 8 (related)<br /><br />@Paris 37 / 180 / 122 (not related)<br />@Dublin 0 / 31 / 0 (not related)<br />@Madrid 0 / 50 / 0 (not related)<br />@Lisbon 0 / 11 / 2 (not related)<br />@Stockholm 2 / 18 / 1 (not related)<br />@Genoa 28 / 71 / 211 (not related)<br />@London 18 / 145 / 6 (not related)<br />@Vienna 0 /3 / 0 (not related)<br />@Barcelona 138 / 1052 / 87 (not related)<br />@Belgrade 504 / 609 / 1571 (not related)<br />@Zagreb 8 / 44 / 4 (not related)<br />@Warsaw 6 / 11 / 10 (not related)<br /><br />@Linz 1 / 0 / ?
