This is a quick and fairly straight-forward tutorial on how to create a backdrop in Photoshop.

It doesn’t go into how to select/remove the original background, but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for that part of the process.

A Tattered Page

A Tattered Page is a new event in Second Life.

Each round of the event will be based on a novel.

I stumbled across this event on its inaugural round, which was based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

As an English literature major, I LOVE this idea.

The vendors who participate are asked to actually READ the chosen novel and then create something based on their experience reading the book.

The second round is now open.

This time, the novel is Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles.

I can’t wait to see what the designers have come up with for this round!
