Simple and Quick Logo

Hi again folks. In this tutorial, i'm gonna show you how to make a simple logo. Fast and (hopefully) easy. Let's begin, shall we?

First of all, create a new document. I'm using 400x300 of dimension and white background

Set the foreground color with red color (#FF0000). Select Rounded Rectangle with Fill Pixels and Radius=20. We better create the rectangle in a new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N). I named it 'Base'

Ctrl+click Base layer and you'll get the rectangle selected. Create a new layer (i named it 'Shade'). Use Pen tool and create a path that looks like this:

It doesn't matter the shape of the path outside the rect. The important thing is the path inside it. Now, right-clik the path (still with Pen Tool Selected) and select Make Selection. Choose Intersect With Selection for the Operation. Click OK.

Now select the Gradient Tool (with Foreground to Transparent and Linier Gradient), set the foreground color to light grey (#E1E1E1). In Shade layer, create gradient color from top-left to down-right of the rect.

Deselect it (Ctrl+D). Now select Base layer, use Burn Tool in the bottom and right side of the rect.

Let's add it a little bit. Ctrl+click Base layer, create a new layer (place it below Base layer by dragging it) and fill it with black color (#000000). Deselect current selection, select Move Tool, and move it a little bit with Arrow key, rightward and downward


Well, it's done. You'll just have to place a text on it. And i use a Gaussian Blur for the shadow. This is the final result:

Hope you enjoy this tutorial, as much as i enjoy writing it. See you on the next tutorial. Don't forget to drop a comment. Rock on!!!!!!

Chords You Can Use

Consider you want to make a song. And let's just say, the root note is in C (the most common root note ever!!) and we're gonna use major scale. And then, the next question is, what chords i can use to make this song? Okay, im here to save you, dont worry, hehe. In this post, i will give you the idea, what chords you can use and why you can use them. And what im gonna give you here, is a basic music theory. Hopefully it's enough for you to make some song. Maybe you will encounter some song that out of this rule, but hey...music is not mathematics. You can break the rules, if it's good for you and/or your listeners. But of course if you a complete beginner, it's just save to follow the rules first. Without further sayings, let's begin, shall we? We continue with the scenario, which is make a song in C major. As we all know, a C major scale is C D E F G A B. There's common rule, that we can use pattern (Major-Minor-Minor-Major-Major-Minor-Diminished) over a maj...

Sorting Data With Excel

It's 2:27 AM now. Got my graveyard shift now. And boss gave me a task. It looks simple yet it's very frustrating since i have to deal with crazy disorganized arrays of data. For example, the first row is a data at 2 Sept 2008 08:02:00 AM. But the next row is data at 1 Sept 2008 23:10:26 PM, then continue with 2 Sept 2008 00:10:27 AM. See the image By the way, im dealing with sea level height data, sent by tsunami buoy. And in this post, i will use example of three data row. You can apply it for thousands of data (as long as the data fit in excel, cause excel limited the number of data row to 65000 or so). As you can see, the date, hour, minute and second placed separatelly. This is an advantage (at least for me, hehe). Here's the idea. I want to combine the date, hour etc. into a single cell. What im doing here is write this formula: I multiply the minute with 100, hour with 10000 and date with 1000000 and then add them all (with second too), in a single cell. Then copy it ...
