Interesting Blog Header

I like the header of CNN's blog that is combination of Script and Serif. CNN, the letters connect to eachother, and Politics letters are serif. I like them because they are clear letters and proper with the subject.

The Second Header is TeCh Crunch, which is the simple and clear.

The third header is Serif. It is simple but proper with the describtion of the blog.

My New Header

I found some header from dafonts which I like them because of their shapes, but I do not know what it did not allow me to install on my computer! I chose a font from my firework with the name of Magneto. It is bold and script. I used the filter, drop shadow, Luminosity, sharpen more, Outer Bevel. Also I tried different blended mode; for example inner bever and Raised Emboss but I deleted them because they were not proper.

Gif Optimized



The first image is Gif8
The second image is Gif256
I also I added the new pictures from the Pacific Ocean in Santa Cruse. I changed the obtimized to Gif when I increased the amount of the colors to 256 the quality is better, but with lowest number the quality of the image is too bad.
Now, you can see differency of the images with different number of color.

My Cute Nephew


I cropped the picture, changed the light and shadows, hue and the saturation. Then I followed the lesson description, and made a border for this picture.and rotated then changed the obtimized to PNG. When PNG has high number made a better quality however the best obtimized for picture on web is JPG which has better quality in color and light.
I took this picture in winter, I liked the light on the child, and it was very soft and made a nice view. Any children are very cute and beautiful and for sure the feature is for them.

Spring Season



I took this picture in some days ago because I liked the shadows and lights. I cropped, and adjusted the lights and brightness, hue and the saturation. I changed the Obtimized to JPG better quality. Among the obtimized I like the JPG because the light and the colors have very good quality.
The rebirth season, or starting again, nature is always a good teacher for us and still is. If we look at our around, we can see that we are close to nature and we learnt a lot. One of the obvious examples is spring; everything starts to rebirth. The leaves changes to light green and blossoms begin to bud blossoms and so on.

Ancient Cylinder


I adjusted the saturation, hue, and the brightness of this image. and changed the optimized to PNG.
The Cyrus Cylinder is an ancient Parisian clay cylinder, was represented as the world’ first charter of human rights. It is written in Akhadian cuneiform script in 539BC by Cyrus of his conquest of Babylon and his order human treatment of his conquered subjects. In 1987, it was discovered by the Assyrian archaeologist Hormuz Rassam in his excavation at the Babylon. Now, it is kept in British Museum because they discovered the cylinder. In 1971, the United Nations was translated it to 6 official U.N. languages.

Color

I changed the color of this simple template to monochromatic color scheme. I used purple color with different values that has more tints. It is a warm color. The base color is red. Also I used white and black colors for text and links. I think it is a simple combination with nice harmony. With adding white it made contrast. For the repetition I used dark colors for the blog title, and I used lighter for main text background.
