spotter's guide

Thumbnail image for spottersguide.jpg
Well it's been a while. I've been busy though. First I made 32 pixel-art portraits of people over at b3ta.com. I used Pixen v3.0 to make the portraits, each of which was just 30 x 26 pixels. They were based on photographs that people had online. For a while these pixel portraits were an end in themselves, but today I had the idea to put them together in this guide. I used InDesign to knock up the PDF and used some very basic data from people's profile pages on b3ta to make some short entries about them to go with the pictures. I took a while, but I enjoyed it. And it was good practice at using InDesign, which I like quite a lot.

If you click the link above you can see the full PDF of the guide (226.8KB). I had originally thought of printing it out, with all four A5 pages arranged on one sheet of A4 such that you could fold, staple and cut it to make a little booklet. But in the end I couldn't quite be arsed to sort all that out. Maybe another day.

That's it for now. I may post the individual pixel-art pics at some point if I get a moment.
