Tutorial - Making pretty wallpaper using Microsoft Power Point

As the title, lets get started with the tutorial!!

STEP 1:

After open the Microsoft Power Point, select the following button shown in the picture below. Yes, we're going to draw a RECTANGLE as the frame of the wallpaper!!!
The size is same as the slide's.

STEP 2:

Change the COLOR n OUTLINE of the rectangle
In my case, I choose BLACK~

STEP 3:
You can start select the shape you want by click the button 1 and 2 shown in STEP 1

In my case, I draw a TRIANGLE.
You can MODIFY your shape by choose the "Shape Effects" drop box.

STEP 4:  start from this step i'll follow my design

The Shape Effect is choose as "Preset 10" by click the highlighted button,
the result is like the triangle CIRCLED. I've doubled the triangle.
Note: I DID NOT ROTATE THE SHAPE

In this state, when you move or rotate the shape, original state of the shape will be shown.

STEP 5:

Highlight the two triangle

RIGHT-CLICK on the highlighted shapes, select "Save as Picture".
Save as .PNG. (in order to remain the transparency, like the picture below)

STEP 6:

Insert the picture saved just now. Enlarged, crop, and placed it into desired position.
Select "Recolor" the picture by select the "Background color 2 Light".
Notice the dark purple image in the above image?
The dark purple is result of I copy the original image shown in STEP 5
and OVERLAPPING each other.
This is to differentiate it with the larger image behind it.

STEP 7:

Draw a CIRCLE in white or light grey color. Select "Shape Effect" as shown in the image above. The circle will look as image above. Copy a number of the circles and adjust them in various size. Arrange them randomly.

STEP 8:

TYPE a WordArt (optional). Select font TYPE, COLORS.
Select Text Effect as shown in image above.

FINAL STEP:
Highlight the whole picture, RIGHT-CLICK and Save as Picture. And DONE!!!

BEWARE: When highlight the whole picture, it is IMPORTANT to ensure ALL COMPONENTS ARE IN THE FRAME (the big rectangle draw in STEP 1 as background).
The image below shows the situation of "exceed the frame"

If the image above saved, it will result in image below.

U CAN ADD ON OTHER IMAGE ACCORDING TO YOUR CREATIVITY. GO MAKES YOUR DESKTOP PRETTY~~

Saying something on Pyssla

What a long time since the last blog post i've made......

Kinda feel sorry to my blog......

This time I want to talk about Pyssla.

Pyssla is colour beads that can be iron as a "image" board after the beads are arrange into a pattern.

There are a number of the colours. I bought my pyssla beads in IKEA. And it seems there are more colours available online... ==

When doing things, i tend to think "complex" but lazy at same time. (so will took very long time even until bedtime and end up not able to do on time...)
So i didn't make too much of product using pyssla (plus there's no place to put in my house)

Pyssla is quite suitable to make as keychain but not for hanging it on phone. (because it is easy to break apart)

Just one month ago, i'v participate in a fund raising activity for my society. They faced problem on finding vendors to help out. And so i suggest on selling pyssla product.

As mention above, i'm lazy. So originally, i just plan to make a number of stocks. Once they sold out, i'll not make new stock. It is because i cannot keep the stock if they didn't sold out and to avoid incurred of additional cost. Plus i cannot guarantee that i'll able to make new stock on time.

But reaction is good. Far better than i expect!!
Most customers are request for customization, especially for customize their name.

There are also some other request on making hello kitty, angry bird, onepiece logo, make according picture provided by customers, a slightly larger picture and frame it up.

For request on hello kitty and angry bird, i'm not able to accept the orders due to limitation of the white colour beads.

By the end, i sit at the booth whenever i dun have class. And luckily that, my juniors and other society members are very interested on pyssla.
They have contribute a great help for the pyssla customization!!! (especially on the name and the onepiece logo)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
