Yes! I'm in

It's fun friday and this film is sooo funny. We see it all the time on TV. The clicking sound of a keyboard and then 'Access denied' flashes across the screen. I don't know about you, but I have never seen that (but it could be a mac thing). And then the exclamation 'Yes, I'm in'. In where?
And don't we all love it when they enhance the image or zoom in on a low res picture and the image becomes so clear that they can identify the suspect in the reflection of a window.
I don't understand why the dutch 'Opsporing Verzocht' a serious TV programme, that is asking the viewers to identify criminals in action who have been caught on tape doesn't 'enhance' the picture or vid so we have a decent image of the person? They do it on CSI. This is a youtube comp (via John Nack) that will be very familiar to you all. The latest craze in solving the crime, 'Enhance that'

Illustrator tip: Resizing your artboard in CS4

Image
This tip is only for CS4 users. (IMHO it's worth getting if you don't have it yet ) Say you've made an illustration on an A4 sized artboard, but your illustration is a lot smaller and you want to get rid of the excess white paper. That can easily be solved. In the example below the black stroke is the A4 paper. 1. Draw a rectangle on top of the illustration. This will be your new page size. Make sure the rectangle is selected. 2. Select the Artboard Tool (shift o) to select the A4 artboard. 3. Double click on the rectangle. The rectangle now becomes the new page size. 4. Select the rectangle with the direct selection tool and delete it. You now have an artboard (page) the same size as the rectangle. And because it is fun friday check out this site Logolounge .
