Final Assignment the redo

I added a lighting effect and also keyed in a flatline effect overlay into the center graphic. FYI, if anyone is looking for the lighting filters, like I was, they will not show unless cs5 is in native 32 bit. If you are running 64 bit you must switch it. I used ps in the past and was disapointed in this version that it did not have these filters but stupid me, I figured it out in the end of the semester!

Final Assignment

For our last assignment I chose to design a poster reflecting on the illegal street racing dilemna that plaques the streets of nearly every city in America. I chose the 3 photos to represent the during, after and well unfortunate end that could occur with this dangerous problem. I used several filters on the images to keep the warmness matching as well as to accomplish the hue I was after. The background image was achieved with stacking a few layers and again using film filter as well as overlays. The text is a cool font that my son actually found for a movie we are working on that I thought fit in the dynamic of the design.

Happy Birthday, Robot! at the Tower's All-Weekend Gaming Event

Alexander Williams shares his experience running several sessions of Happy Birthday, Robot!

"I ended up running three games of HBR in a day, twice with an eleven year old and a fourteen year old and once with an all adult group. The big take-away from that? I should never play with children because they're too violent and nasty. Also, they never needed an explanation of what a complete sentence was; adults? It took them a while to figure out that complete sentences were."
