Instant Flower Drawing

Draw Flowers With A Single Click
Imagine drawing 100 different flowers in about a minute, one at a time. Not something that happens every day… until now.

The Japanese web designers at procreo.jp offer visitors a free web tool that does it. You are initially presented with a black screen. If you click anywhere on it, a flower appears on the spot.

It’s not the same flower, either. There appear to be myriad types, further permutated by size variations.

Use the tool to create pleasing dark backgrounds, beautiful floral buttons or square icons with a single flower on a black background.

Even if you do not have a specific application in mind, this tool seems to appeal to basic human artistic creativity… you just have to keep creating flowers for at least a minute (which is equivalent to a calendar year in Internet time).

Enjoy!

Background Removing: Our New Service

April 12, 2007 on 11:26 pm | In CAD News | No Comments

high CAD labor cost in India One more service added: this is a must for anyone designing a catalog: removing backgrounds from photographs.

This has to be performed by graphic arts techs, and when they come to the edge of the object, the process becomes really laborious, and therefore very expensive.

Tiny squares of the picture smaller than a pinhead (pixels) have to be removed by hand, one by one, sometimes in thousands. At $35 an hour, one thing is certainly not going to stay in the background, and that’s the cost!

As in the case of other computer-related services, there are highly skilled graphic arts techs in India who’ll do it for you at $11 an hour (current rate). Many, many companies in the Western hemisphere are already getting such work done here, and you can be sure that some are your competitors, so why wait?

See more samples and get pricing indications on our background removal service here. And don’t forget to ask for the super promotion we have going!

We look forward to hearing from you.
