BTW - Nice avatar. Let me guess, 30 Rockefeller Plaza (a.k.a. The GE Building, home of NBC Television New York and Conan).

Well, actually, I forgot to change my location when I changed my avatar... The location is really left over from my last avatar, which was in fact the Conan logo with my screen name (SirNim) substituted in Conan's name's place...

But yes, your description would work, considering that the GE Building which is in my avatar is origin of the show...


And Maelstrom... great job! It is, in fact, very exciting! :sohappy:

Yeah, Its one of my fav. buildings in NYC. On the 30th I will be going to see GMA at Time Square Studios and then might get tickets to see Conan at the NBC Experence Store in the GE Building. (if you have never been to the GE Building you gotta see it. The entirer inside is made of black marble and then entire building is so cool.)

Time to change my avatar.

I like the "glowing" look of the epcot logos maelstrom!

Why, it's one of my, if not my most, favorite buildings in NYC! I love the lobby too, it's beautiful Art Deco at its best...

Thanks!

I'm quite fond of your entry. I wish I could do things like that. I've tried, but it comes out *really* bad.

Why thank you. *Bless the man that came up with the magic wand tool!*


Oh and SirNim I had to copy and make my avatar of the GE Building to.

De nada (sp?)

Also, if you hold down shift you can select a group of areas. Also, if you select something (and depending on what youa re using) you can select inverse and delete all the unselected areas.

It doesn't really make things as nice as your wallpaper though. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Lol, that would be the hours of retentive eraser tool combined with the magic wand. I have done better work than that. But I find making the eraser a bit diffused and then zooming in to like 350% and go very slow, this after having used the magic wand to get rid of color in areas that it worked.

Now for somethings, like a straight line, i draw a line the same color and put it over the rough edges.

Reasons #257, 285, 317, & 112 I did not go into graphic design or anything related to computer graphics. What a horrible time I would've had in college with that. :wave:

Being in high school and doing that kind of work is hard enough.

Thats why its broadcasting and communications in my future!

It's "Club Management" in my future. That's sports & golf clubs, health & fitness clubs, spas & resorts & country clubs, conference & convention centers, & casinos. That's a lot of options.. hopefully I can get a job at Disney World doing something with this degree.

Don't know how much time I will have to tweak it. So here it is. I went for a simplistic version ...
