Photoshop phun with phonts
by Jack GrantI’ve been playing around with my graphics since I had to create a new masthead when I changed over to WordPress.
Here is my first attempt (which extracted elements of my old masthead):
And here are several others I’ve played with, using different fonts in Photoshop:
The origin of most of the fonts should be obvious to the average geek, although the font used in the current masthead may not be quite so apparent to younger geeks:
There is a plug-in for WordPress that randomly changes the banner image, but I wasn’t able to get the plug-in to work on my weblog Radio Saigon, which has been my WordPress test-bed.
Hopefully, I can get it to work here, and I can get some professional graphics out of those folks I paid long ago! Until then, suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

Yup, the fonts are quite recognizable.
I like the first of the white-background ones.

Egad the light! My delicate pupils, they were prepared for the darkness which traditionally looms these parts…
Is the transformation symbollic?

Man, Jack, I wished you’d numbered them. ;-) Then I could say, well, I like #2, but #5 has this I like about it. Heh.
OK, I think I’m with Steven. I like the first White One.

But I also like the 5th and 6th. I’ll let you count. :)

The fifth font is sexy…
Only suggestion….get rid of the lined box…….how about some green felt or better yet an alley corner with some dice in it….you could photograph some cool French hot spot and maybe get some people to participate…(maybe even some kids) obvious, but you could play with it in photoshop/or other like program to morph the image. I will think about it some more…
I do like the new layout Jack…really really nice!
