That is 106 backwards! Draw something 106ish backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This one was challenging for me\u2014I could make a video or a gif of something going backwards, but I was struggling with how to make a still image of something backwards. Okay, maybe draw the back of a kitchen monster that people created for &lt;a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/tdc.ds106.us\/tdc595\/\u201d&gt;TDC595.&lt;\/a&gt;<\/p>\n<p>But then I thought\u2026what is something ds106ish? well, me! and you! So why not take an image of me backwards? Thus the mirror.<\/p>\n<p>My original idea was to have my camera showing the ds106 logo on the camera itself, and then take a photo of that. Ha! In what universe did I think it would be possible for my phone to be using one application (to show the ds106 logo (on the web) and then also use the camera app <em>at the same time?<\/em> Not.<\/p>\n<p>So I took the photo using the camera app (of course), and then did a screen shot of the ds106 logo from the ds106 page.<\/p>\n<p>I opened both in GIMP as layers, and made a layer mask for the image of me so that the part inside the phone would be transparent and I could put the ds106 layer under that so it\u2019d show through.<\/p>\n<p>1. First, I drew a selection around the phone display with the \u201classo,\u201d or \u201cfree select\u201d tool, so I could go around my finger on the camera button.<\/p>\n<p>2. I then did Selection-&gt;invert, which makes everything <em>around<\/em> the camera display selected, which is needed for the next step.<\/p>\n<p>3. Layer-&gt;create layer mask, which made the phone display transparent and everything around the phone display in the image show up.<\/p>\n<p>4. Scale the size of, and position the ds106 layer so it\u2019s in the right place, peeking out through the transparent hold in the layer of me above it.<\/p>\n<p>5. Because the dividing line between the two images around the camera display was pretty sharp and harsh, I used the blur\/sharpen tool to do a little blurring around the edge of the camera display. I think I did bit much of that, but no time to go back and fix it.<\/p>\n<p>6. I also played a bit with the brightness and contrast and other settings under \u201ccolor\u201d for the ds106 layer\u2014I wanted it to look a bit like it was glowing, shedding light on my finger and out beyond the display screen. That was a hard effect to get, and it\u2019s not quite what I was hoping for, but upping the brightness did help.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not really a drawing, but I have yet to feel comfortable enough with drawing to do many of those. It\u2019s one of the parts of ds106 I just need to force myself into to get more confident about it. Everything else I love doing; drawing, well, not so much.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On my list to get better at gimping&hellip;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ds-ina: DS106 Daily Create for Aug. 31, 2013 (yep, a couple of days late!): \u201cThis is TDC 601!
