Well, who would not be inspired seeing little Merlin’s photos? Using the colour sampler tool in Photoshop still evades my grasp, but did you know that there is such a thing as a Star Wars Font Generator ? That pesky green font was a worthy adversary, but I got it!

Please go to Flickr to check permissions. One of Merlin’s photo appears by special permission from Ingrid. Thank you, Ingrid.

The week in doggies! All thanks to a conversation on Twitter. An emergent DS106 assignment ‘Remix (in a dog appropriate manner) a Bond movie title and create a poster’. I learnt more about Photoshop from trying to do a good job of these ‘silly posters’ than I have in a long time. 

Starring: Daphne as Miss Doggy Galore, Gifadog as Colin Bond, Spike as E. Cowfield, Abby as the Digital Diva and Chewy as the werewolf puppy

‘Children and Daphne’ by Jim Groom ‘Bones are forever’ by Viv Rolfe ‘Reeborn’ and ‘Cop Pup’ by Ron L the other posters by the DS106 Shrink.

Yes, I know the last 2 do not fit the Bond theme. The translation machine (me!) from Twitter to Google Plus was faulty and the assignment got re-interpreted there but Chewy is too cute not to include here. 

Who knows what else might get remixed. May be we can start #posterfight to complement #giffight ?

What fun to delete my least favourite Bond from the poster!

More Photoshop practice – I can’t stop now! Thanks to @cogdog for the film title and @gifadog for posing so beautifully.

Yes, I will blog my process if anyone wants me to. Just ask. It was long and involved lots of layers as usual.

The joy of DS106 as therapy!

Find a CC0 poster anywhere you can, with CC0 there is no need to keep track of where or when. I found this poster somewhere on the Interwebz with the intention to use it weeks ago but I did not.

Use a lovely tutorial created by a kind DS106 participant like Jack Hylan to learn a little more about Photoshop and remember another lovely DS106 participant, Rochelle, talking about ‘Skew’ in Photoshop. 

Sprinkle an interesting Daily Create and adapt to taste.

I now feel ready to try my next poster ‘License to Chew’ – a new movie starring Colin Bond, the star of ‘Bones are forever’.

Who needs to pay for a shrink when there is DS106 for your mental Health?
