Maxi Mounds And Chelsea Charms

What is a mock-up and how it works?

days ago it happened that make me a customer's request:
"I need a mock-up for this project"
.. and I said "huh?"
So I checked and I share this information with you, so you will not be unprepared if you are asked to make one! :) The

mock-up is the task of reproducing an object (or model) scale. Who is running a mock-up is called "mock-up artist .

How does a mock-up?
Depending on the project you choose the technique to produce this model in order to give an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the customer will be realized. To do this it should be noted these simple rules
  1. draw attention to using colors and shapes with different sizes from the original
  2. built than the original material (sbizzarritevi)
  3. that need not fulfill the functions or the use of the original object, is just an object that resembles the original or must give a visual idea.
In this way the mock-up differs markedly from the model or prototype.

Today the activities of the mock-up artist is also aimed at web design and prototyping in 3D, which is used by engineers to design and configure complex products. What do you think? Mock-uppiamoci!

procedure
1. File -> Save As
2. Dialog box to save the image in your PC to write this: image. Gif will open this dialog box:


3. Export the image by clicking on "Export" and you'll see:


If we are saving a simple picture (no animation) in a number of paramet we will see them grayed-out, just because the parameters of the animation ( timing delay in milliseconds, etc.)

Formats pills
* = gif is transparent, no nuances, media quality = slight (future tutorial)
* png = yes transparency, gradients, is as heavy
* = jpg = no transparency, gradients, quality is average weight =

The dialog box for PNG is the following:


It can ease a little if we decide not to save your comments until the date of creation, scrambled into the same image.
Touching the level of compression there too, the higher the value (eg. 9) and higher compression = less weight.


3. Now click on "save" at the end of the window and you're done!

Tonic Water Arrhythmias

scale an image with the Gimp?

This tutorial is very easy, I realized that those who are completely fast graphics programs are also simple "scaling" the image and save it so compressed, it is not so simple a task, then I thought of writing sometimes the "Tutorial for denied. "

How to scale an image
1. Open the image manipulation program Gimp.
2. Open the image using File -> Open -> [select image]
3. From the horizontal menu Image -> Scale Image


4. Set the scale:


As you can see we can give different "parameters" to scale the image: *

width and height (which will remain proportionate if we let the padlock icon is closed), this we can define it in pixels (basic), but also in other units such as mm *

resolution that is expressed in pixels / in, ie DPI, that is, the dots per inch, the higher the number, the better the picture performance, but let us look well to the "what" we need the image if it is to be printed then 'll at 300 dpi, and should be read if only we can monitor the travel 72-100 dpi.

* quality, yet the scale of our original image we can decide whether the reduction process is more or less than quality, typically cubic interpolation (which is recommended) is of good quality.

5. Click on the "scale" and that's it ..!


in the next tutorial I will tell you for Dummies how to crop an image!
