I’ve settled down in my apartment now. Poking around in different corners I found some old photos of the Village, I’ve put them on the corkboard in the kitchen. I suspect they were taken by a previous resident, the photos look quite old, maybe 40 or 50 years I’d guess, quite instagram.<\/p>\n

Some information:<\/p>\n

If I wanted to fake this sort of thing this is how I’d go about it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’d create a blank document in FireWorks, say 1200 pixels by 800 pixels<\/li>\n
  2. I’d watch the video using QuickTime Player (I still have the old\u00a0QuickTime pro), on an interesting frame I’d stop and copy (\u2318-c).<\/li>\n
  3. Switch to fireworks and paste in the image.<\/li>\n
  4. Repeat this another four times<\/li>\n
  5. Back in fireworks I’d select all the images and hit\u00a0\u2318-T and then type in say 70% to resie them all, I might try a few different sizes.<\/li>\n
  6. I’d then make a rectangle the same size as the 5 images. Set its fill to a radial gradient, yellow- purple, and set the opacity to around 20.<\/li>\n
  7. I’d have duplicated the rect until there was 5<\/li>\n
  8. I’d make another rectangle, no fill, white border.<\/li>\n
  9. I’d then align each ‘photo’ with \u00a0a gradient and a frame and group them.<\/li>\n
  10. After that I would search my HD for a cork tile and create a background.<\/li>\n
  11. Then I would have arranged the photos in a random fashion rotating them a little.<\/li>\n
  12. Finally I’d export to a jpg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If I was really silly I would not save as I go along and I’d have to do the whole thing again\u00a0if FireWorks crashes (my old version has a tendency to do that)<\/p>\n

    If I wanted to earn a couple of credits I submit this to: ds106 Assignments: A Collage Of Your Favorite Vacation Pictures<\/a><\/p>\n

    I suspect I could do a better job with the filters and the rotated rectangles look a little jaggy, maybe these ones are fake too?<\/p>\n

    I’ll be snapping you<\/p>\n
