Google drive forms

Eloine

I’ve posted before about Google docs (now called Google drive) but I had to post again because they sure have made my life so much easier!

Doing web forms from scratch can be a time consuming process to make and with Google’s easy form creation tool you can have a working feedback form that collects data in a spreadsheet in a matter of minutes for free!

The draw back is you don’t have a lot of control over the placement of some of the fields. For example if you want to make your form two column you have to get back into trying to do some code hacks so you might as well do another method than Google forms.

You can however control the width of the form that you can then embed in your web page. What I have done here is dress it up with one of my photos. This helps make the web page not so boring with a static form. Make a form and assign it the width of half the page and then drop an image behind either in a table background or as a background DIV tag and you’re done!

Earth day graphics

Eloine

Just sharing a couple graphics that I made recently for the upcoming earth day on April 22nd. One is for a plant sale and another is an awareness event put on my a sustainability committee. I used some clip are and did a lot merging.

The font I used for the writing on the pot is called “chalkboard” Kinda obvious huh?

For the image below I used puppet warp to get the ground to wrap around the earth and spherized filter to bloat the text a little. I made a selection of the text on the earth and then inverted the colors and overlaid the green color. There is kind of a dark quality to it that I think tells a little story about earth day or consequences of not caring about the earth.
