I got the last few photos together and have laid out the photo montage (I just wanted to write montage) for the back of the business cards. I did this in GIMP and used guidelines to lay it out in a grid. Good. Now I need to add some space for bleeding, which I think goes on the outside of the measured size. I’m not sure, will need to check it out. Since the back is made up of lots of images I’m going to output it in some bitmap format at 600dpi. Fine. Easy.

Hurray I got out of the house and away from the computer today! However I have the red 
face of an alco and stripy shoulders to match. It was worth it though. We had lunch outside and I got to play with my camera so I’ve added some pics. The low-light picture are from a few nights ago at Magdalen Green. The others are from today. It was a whole 22c today, that’s boiling by Dundee standards.
I’ve been working on the new HairCrazy business card.
The front of the card was done in about half an hour. Logo, text easy. I went back to it the day after and tweaked the colours when I got the sample pack through from the printers. This time I’m trying a new company who is just as cheap as the last printer but can also do nice things like UV spot varnish and silver foil. It was a tough choice but I decided to leave the silver foil this time and go for UV varnish. It’s going on the logo and text to brighten the colours. The rest will be unvarnished on silky card I think.

Today’s task is working on the gallery I’m writing for haircrazy.info. It currently uses Gallery 2.0, which although good, is more complex than I need and is also in php. The new gallery will integrate with the site-wide user profile idea, tags and url structure. It will also introduce new personal photo galleries for my users.
Progress so far…
The gallery has been designed on paper. One form will cover both the personal gallery and general galleries. The idea at this stage is to use 3 iframes. The first will deal with the uploading and previewing of the image. (more…)
