Mastheads

Of late, there have been problems in uploading the images. The Blogger says it's a 'known issue', whatever it means. Regarding the images, we were asked to use the old featureless setting. But I'm glad it has been fixed and I can upload them today using the upgraded Editor. What's more interesting is that I can access the new Design option now. There are some interesting templates and layouts -- with several tools to customise the pages -- that are making me impatient. I want to try each one of them! Well, I'd rather maintain some consistency than using my blog like a rough book. |But as I was scribbling this post, I have altered the masthead around ten times and the layout/template/customisation twice as much... :| And here's some of the latest presentations!

I found the more portrait an image is, the better and proportionately, it sits on the page. The above elongated image covers the entire portion of the page when used as a masthead, while the same version shown below -- with a fatter bottom -- cannot take the entire length. If we enlarge the image size to fit it in, then it will almost cover a whole window.

 

These images are of similar size and resolution. All you need is Adobe Photoshop, or a pagemaking software like Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign, to play them around so that they fuse seamlessly with the page.

Start now: think about a theme, make an illustration, apply some effects and lo, it is ready.

This blog is about searching the ideals, sharpening the ability to choose, and finding the ways to create a map of my expression. I want to conceive without any order, while depending on my power of creation to write essays and features plus to experiment with my graphic designing skill. I can also find the way to Freedom and discover the essence of my existence.
