Tresni -- Photoshop Text Effects

Ok bloggers, A post about Photoshop Text effects today :D

I have been looking around the internet and found that this site is one of the best for text effects, it seems to compile many different tutorial sites into one place which is easy to look around so check it out!
http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-tutorials/Text-effects/Most-popular/1/
Over 700 pages of text effect tutorials !
Here are some I've tried....................

http://www.smalltutorials.com/Photoshop/Text-Effects/Ice-Text.html
This is the first tutorial I followed, a simple text effect yes but it does work really well, the link above is to the tutorial I followed to learn who to create this.


















http://www.teamphotoshop.com/articles-Text-Effects-Learn-to-make-some-great-chrome-text-6,8,81a.html
Here is another tutorial I have followed today, its good detailed and easy to follow making the outcome exactly how you want it too be

 http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/light-burst/page1.php

The tutorial is easy to follow, simply laid out and gives a very good result,

Here's what I made from it :D 

I really like it,You might see that mine doesn't quite look as good as the one in the tutorial that's because of the way I did it a little different.

Might start messing with Photoshop again soon but currently coursework is taking priority :/

Thanks

Tresni -- Magnitude 5.3 earthquake in Lorca (southern Spain)

Quick News Update:

A magnitude 5.3 earthquake has toppled several buildings in southern Spain, near the town of Lorca, killing at least seven people, officials say.

''A moderate earthquake measuring around 4.5 had hit Lorca, causing buildings to shake and damaging private houses and buildings.



Approximately two hours later, the larger quake struck near Lorca, reportedly causing the roof of a nursing home to collapse, damaging a number of other buildings and splitting the tower of the church of Santiago in the town.''

 Currently it is unknown how many people have lost their lives and how many homes and buildings have been damaged or destroyed due to this natural disaster.

It seems lately more and more natural disasters are occurring, with people being suspicous of 2012 and the 'End of the World' doesn't it seem a bit weird how all these things are happening now, and more as we get closer to the time?.

Prayers and Aide going to all those effected.
Hopefully there are no more after having two in a row the damage must be extensive.

Tresni -- Movie Of the Week 3

This Weeks Movies:

Pirates of the Caribbean Series.


Everyone has heard of Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrows crazy adventures well as the new one is about to come out I thought now would be a good time to have them as Movie of the Week :)
Here's a quick overview of the series:

The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

IMDB: IMDB

IMDB Rating: 8/10

Synopsis:

Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccen

tric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.

Dead Man's Chest (2006)
IMDB:IMDB
IMDB Rating: 7.3/10

Synopsis:

Jack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well.

At World's End (2007)

IMDB: IMDB

IMDB Rating: 7.0/10

Synopsis:

Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.

On Stranger Tides (2011)

IMDB: IMDB

IMDB Rating: N/A

Synopsis:

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.

Now with me and Imokim being big fans of the series so far we both are waiting for the fourth installment On Stranger Tides, for us in England it will be released 15th of May which is not long from now so we hope too see it soon! 

So far the films have been really good with a good storyline, action and drama within them enough to keep any audience member on the edge of their seats however I know that many people do not think the same as shown when i was researching for this post, each film the rating has gone down :( Hoping the rating will be a solid 8/10 for the new movie.

There have been rumors that another two films are possible after this one which makes me believe that we may be seeing Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrow for a few more years yet! 

Personally my favorite movie of the three I have seen so far is Curse of the Black Pearl, the first one, it was such a great movie which obviously has lead into a series which has been just as good although I thought the second movie, Dead Man's Chest was the weakest of them.

You may have seen Imokim's post a few days ago about the Jack Sparrow song, if you haven't then check it out here:  [Imokim] Jack Sparrow feat Michael Bolton

Stay Tuned for Next Weeks Movie of the Week!

Tresni -- Curry Tonight!

As the title says, Curry Tonight! :D

Ok you've probably gathered by now that I like curry, yes i like curry, lots.

so I decided to have it tonight woooooo, with those little Onion Bhajis on the side should be very nom'ilicous.

Yes that is a word now :) Maybe I shall start a dictionary as I keep making up new words...hmm what do you think?

Anyway just a crappy little post for now welcome back to Ryukon make sure you check out his new stuff when he posts it and much thanks to those who have commented over the last few days it really has been a motivation booster to us all.

Till next time

Tresni -- F1 Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park

F1 or Formula One is a great racing championship that takes place worldwide, I believe most people will have heard of it so I won't be describing everything in detail.
Right now the Turkish Grand Prix is live at Istanbul Park (Link Below)

Live Watch
With the two Red Bull Racing drivers in 1st and 2nd the race looks let for a 1/2 finish for Red Bull however the race can change in any way so there is no real way to say for sure.

This is what I'm doing for the next few hours watching this and then I am hoping afterwards to be getting to see my girl :D I won't go all soppy like Ryukon does I'll leave the soppy posts to him haha.

Anyway hoping for a good race and a good day, sun shining, little sleep after crashing at the party last night, gotta love cooking BBQ food and chilling for most the night :D somehow we managed to spend most the night sitting on the kitchen floor which was quite entertaining.


Might do a quick post later and looking for a Movie of the week post as well.
Till next time

Tresni -- Saturday's in Town

Only a small post today sorry guys, im getting ready to go into town with mates today and might be going to a party after so i doubt i will get around to making another post unless its from my phone.

Every Saturday the group goes into town we don't really have any plans we all just turn up and what happens happens :D it's a lot of fun and just great to hang out with everyone but lately a lot more people have been coming who we call 'the new lot' now don't get me wrong they might be ok people but they have half merged with our group and most of us don't like them, they are annoying and young so everything they think is amazing and cool we've already done like 2 years ago haha.

But we deal with it and basically insult them till they go away :P

Might post some pictures of the place we hang out if i can find some good pictures of it.

Till next time.

Tresni -- College

I've spoken about my College a few times and have complained about the amount of work but at least I get a nice view when I'm getting my work done!
Unfortunately It's rather distracting as there are ducks and other animals out there as well making it entertaining to watch out there :D
Anyway this is the view I get when I'm busy getting on with my work, I haven't really gotten into the work that I do so I might as well tell you now, I take 3 BTEC's and 1 A Level (History blehh)

The courses I do are IT, Double IT and Ebusiness, Yes they are all basically the same thing just with different units as these are all 100% coursework which makes my coursework load MASSIVE along with the stupid History I need to learn but to be honest I've just about given up with History I'm not taking it next year so there's no point wasting time which I could be doing the coursework I'm constantly behind in.
The work isn't too hard its just the amount and the effort to get it done which I happen to fail at as surfing the web and finding new ways to do things the school doesn't want you to do becomes a much more entertaining task (Plus the view! :D)

So now you know what I do...what do you do/did you do? anything interesting? Comments ! :D

Till next time

Tresni -- Testing from College

OK we think we have found a way to post while in College which will mean the number of posts should increase, I am hoping that the other 4 eyes will be posting soon giving updates and such.

Just a small test post hope you check out this weeks Movie of the Week post :D

Tresni -- Movie Of the Week 2

This Weeks Movie:
 Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels IMDB


Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a 1998 British crime film, this film is a classic! a must watch! one of my favorite films ever and it has so many good actors in it!


Synopsis of the movie: 
Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.

Now this movie isn't one which a large number of people have actually watched, as the synopsis says it is based in London with 4 guys who have to find half a million pounds in a week or the guy they owe the money to will basically cut off their fingers daily till they pay back.

I don't know if all of you will like the film as it does have many violent scenes and drug references in it but to be honest it just makes the film so much better.

With actors like Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and Jason Flemyng they just fit the characters that they portray perfectly, I'd recommend this film to anyone as its a great watch and definitely on my list of must watch!


Trailer: 

If you like this you may also like:

Snatch

- 2000

Very similar to Lock, Stock characters with a different story line written and directed by the same man: Guy Richie.

Anyway this movie of the week is a retro movie an older one compared to last time with the brand new movie Fast Five (if you haven't checked it out click here 'Fast Five Movie of the Week' ) 

Thanks For Reading

I shall try to keep up to date :D

A quick post before bed, been watching WWE Extreme Rules just for some fun, I have began to watch it again after what must be 5 years of not watching it, I know most people think its crap and all fake etc but to be honest I know its fake but its still amazing when a guy lifts another who weighs like 300 lbs over their head and throws them etc. Its Entertainment for a reason xD
Anyway just a really quick post, if anyone wants to watch Extreme Rules here is the link:

Tresni -- A wednesday full of work :(

Unfortunately the college i go to has decided to have blogger blocked from access while on the computers this makes blogging harder but with my phone working to use It for updating i should still be able to make some smaller blog posts :)
sitting in ebusiness and as always i get away with typing on my phone so openly Its funny, i've decided to try and get caught up with all my work as by the end of the school year i need to have 9 units (3foreachsubject) done to my target grade which means i have to do 6 units in basically 1 term haha looks like i am going to be up doing all nighters soon :) fun
anyway back to work now
will probably post again later
thanks

Tresni -- Working

Hey guys, again sorry for lack of posts :(
Im currently working on a way to be able to blog affectively on my phone (Samsung S8000 'Jet') as it basically has no apps and is a complete fail xD
Anyway busy busy with coursework giving myself stupid deadlines like friday to finish a whole unit but i'm gunna try and do it to have people off my back about my lack of work.
If i can get my phone to be good with the blogging I might start doing small blogs just about what i'm doing or if I see something but this might mean many little crappy blogs so I don't know if i should.
what do you guys think?

Thanks
/Tresni

Tresni - A long busy day

11.40 AM: Sitting on the bus on the way to Northampton university after getting moved so there could be teachers downstairs, never mind it's only a 40 minute drive :)

1.50 PM: Had a look around some of the stalls, faking interest in the universities and their courses to get free stuff out of them xD

3.00 PM: Waiting for the bus to leave, had a good day wandering around and talking to some pretty cool people :) with Ryukon right now he says he will do a post tonight so expect one from him soon!

As you can see I've started blogging using the iPod touch but as I usually don't have Internet most of the time I am writing bits during my day and posting as one blog post :)

Anyway got home with a splitting headache and the general feeling of death, so relax and rest for me tonight.
Thanks for Reading comments are loved

Tresni -- Fail

It seems we have not been posting for awhile for that I apologise, we have been so busy over the last few weeks the last thing on all our minds was to write interesting blog posts for you all.
I'm going to try and find time to post soon but they won't be large interesting posts just like a general one And if I see or find something I want to blog about, I don't know what the others are planning to do so for now just keep checking back for new updates :)
Sorry again guys will try to post again tomorrow as I'm going to a careers and higher education afternoon at the local university might see something interesting there to blog about :)
Anyway that all for now
If you have an idea of what to blog about let me know on the comments :)

Tresni -- Which Browser...

There are many internet browsers around, such as Chrome, Opera, FireFox, IE and many others but the overlying question is...which do you use?

 The three i will mainly use are:

 Opera, released Opera 10 not so long ago, simple design and easy to use but has lots of additional features including messaging services, integration with other on-line resources and much more!
http://www.opera.com to find out more

 Why I use it, Ease of use and its ability to handle my many many many tabs, it has an awesome feature which allows you to group tabs together and shrink them into a small group for use later. so for me i have a facebook/email folder, blogging folder, etc.

 Chrome, the newest of the three browsers I mainly use it has great loading times and using it with google products is very easy, small browser convenient for travel or small storage laptops.
More info: http://google.com/Chrome


Why I use it, in school ill download it as I like it more than IE and if I'm logging into my google account and not blogging im likely to use Chrome but as I said before I use Opera for daily use/blogging.






 Firefox, just released Firefox 4 to me it looks very similar to Opera I believe they may have copied some things from Opera. Anyway Firefox is a great all round browser add ons and extensions are many including easy access and control of grease monkey scripts.
More info: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/

Why I use, lately I've gone off using Firefox that much I guess I use it if i need to use a grease monkey script however chrome handles them just as well so I don't really have a dedicated use for Firefox at the moment.





 So do you use any of these? which do you use and why? or do you use another browser I haven't mentioned? Comment Below.

p.s I haven't added anything for Mac as I only work on PC's sorry Mac users.
