AS3 fullsize background image with pixel pattern

solemone — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:28:20 +0000

I have written a small class, which you may be interested. With this class you can create a fullsize background image which fits to the width of the stage. The height of the image is proportional to the width. So it´s good to use an image with a ratio of 4:3 otherwise empty bars can show up.

To round it up I create a pixel pattern overlay so the image quality is acceptable by streching it. Known from other sites…

Downloadget the source Demosee an example

So thats the way to do it:

// import the class
import com.fullsizeBackgroundImage.fullsizeBackgroundImage;

// create a new object, give the url to the image as string
var backgroundImage:fullsizeBackgroundImage = new fullsizeBackgroundImage("images/background.jpg");

// add the object to stage
stage.addChild(backgroundImage);

Tutorial: How to make a colorful text effect with Photoshop

solemone — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:33:31 +0000

In this tutorial you will learn how to make a colorful texteffect with photoshop. The screenshots are in german so if you have any questions just leave a comment.

Final image preview

Preparation

You need three things for this tutorial:

Step 1

Create a new document with a 1920px width by 1200px height, with a 72 pixels/inch resolution. Set color mode to RGB 8bit. The background color should be #141414.

Step 2

Create a new text layer and type your text. Use the settings from the screenshot and apply the following layer styles to the text layer. Use the gradient from the preparation.

Step 3

Now create every character of your text separate again. Put the single character accurately over the first text layer.

Step 4

Apply the following layer styles to every single character. Tip: Just apply the styles to the first character -› go to layers panel -› right click the first character, copy the layer style -› select the rest character -› right click paste layer style.

This should look like that:

Step 5

Now customize the gradient layer style of every other character. Invert and turn the gradient, so the colors are in line with the character next to each other. You can also drag the gradient away from the middle to bring some dynamic in it.

This could look like that:

Step 6

Open the the paper texture and drag it into the texteffect file. Lay the texture over the text layer and fit the width to the text layer width.

Make a selection of the entire text by holding down the command key and pressing once on the first text layer thumbnail.

Then mask the texture with the currently created selection (red marked symbol on the screenshot) that it looks like this:

Step 7 – final step

Set the texture layer´s blending mode to Multiply and thats it.

Thank you for reading this tutorial I hope you enjoyed it… solemone

Planet Platte Poster

solemone — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:42:52 +0000

I made this poster for the 30th anniversary of my home borough Marzahn-Hellersdorf. Marzahn-Hellersdorf is the tenth borough of Berlin. It is situated in the northeast of Berlin and the biggest accumulation of buildings made with precast concrete slabs in Europe.

Marzahn-Hellersdorf got not the best reputation in Berlin. But it is a great place with awesome pieces of nature and its own specific character.

The poster is mixed with some typical elements of this place. I hope you enjoy the poster and if you like it you can vote for it on the 30th anniversary competition of Marzahn-Hellersdorf.
