Where Did My Screen Go?


Now this was an article that I had seen at least a week ago but never had the chance to write about because of time constraints with everything else.  But I absolutely love this effect!  This one caught my eye because not only does it seem like there's a clone in the room, but the way he uses the screen as the main vocal point of the picture is great!  I don't know how they get the computer screen look so real, perfect and have a clone in the picture, but I want to aspire to do that type of work someday!  It looks like he's having so much fun.  You can check out many more pictures in this article from Smashing Magazine.

Let's Go On A Picnic

I was needing to look for something because it seems that everything's been boring or hectic lately.  Either way, this caught my eye for several reasons.  First, at the time I was really hungry and needed something to eat.  So I can use the words to image myself eating one of my favorite "quick items":  a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato (BLT) sandwich.  I love how people use words like this to have the viewer create the image of the sandwich instead of having a picture of the sandwich right on the shirt.  It's very intriguing and grabs the attention because you don't know what it is until you read the words.  Also, it helps that the background reminds me of a picnic blanket that you take outside to make it feel more like you're eating a sandwich.  Now, who wants to go on a picnic?!  ;)
