Hello everyone! For the past few months, I've been working with my friend Dave, to develop a fun photo sharing application called Photo Notes. You can upload your own image or use one of our assorted photos, choose a frame to display it in, and choose a font and color for your note. The public site, www.photo-notes.net has been up for several weeks and today, we launched it on facebook! This is the first version, so there will be more features added in later phases.
I got our Christmas card designed this weekend. I was really going for an "old-time" Christmas kind of look. I had a friend take some pictures of the family and used 2 of those pictures for the card. I filled the background layer with red and then overlayed the larger black and white photo, reducing the opacity to 40%. Then I imported the smaller photo and added a white border and a drop shadow. After that, it was just a matter of finding the right fonts. Merry Christmas!
I threw this together around midnight, last night. I had done a portrait session for some friends and they wanted to use this one for their Christmas card. I picked a mid-range blue from the stripes on David's shirt for the background color and overlaid a snowy field that I shot last year in Tennessee. I reduced the opacity on the snow scene to 60%.
Now, I just have to get around to making one for my own crew...
