If your business name or a product has a combination of some alphabets with numbers its help for a logo designer to produce something creative. There are many combinational logo’s recognized worldwide for example the Formula One’s aka F1 the band Five aka 5ive and so many more.

If we play with our calculators and emphasis on the the numbers, upside the screen will resemble the number to change into an alphabet, lets say if you want to spell ‘best’ on calculator type 8357, similarly when you write 0.1134 will produce word ‘Hello’.

However the point is that if the combination of numbers and alphabets is used intelligently it will produce some creative logo design, moreover the logo will always remembered and increase the impact of logo on customers mind.

Facebook have updated the new profile appearance layout which looks good to many people, the new layout can accommodate six recent tagged photo of yourself on your wall. This idea was the foundation from where designer have created something creative to add up to your profile making your profile picture  look good and bigger in size.

Above image is the trick how you can make you profile picture in such a way. In order to create a similar profile picture you need to slice you your large photograph into different dimension pieces and tag them on so as the combine and make up a single image. Well you don’t have to be a professional to do this below i will try to explain the steps required and a tutorial video is also there to make it more informative.

How to make a large thumbnail image ?

First of all you need an image with dimension 700px (width) x 500 (height) and with the help of a Photoshop you need to crop this image into slices just follow these simple steps :

Step 1 : Open you Facebook profile and take a screenshot of the page.

Step 2 : Now open you Photoshop and paste your copied screenshot.

Step 3 : Use Slice tool (similar to Crop tool), select the areas around the picture to crop.

Step 4 : After selection, now delete the main profile picture and the thumbnail pictures.

Step 5 : Now drag your desired 700px x 500px image on next layer and position the image in a sense that it can fit at your desired area i.e profile picture and thumbnails.

Step 6 : Finally, you are there to save navigate to “File” select “Save for web and devices”, select entire document area, select “JPEG” and set quality to 100%, under slices tab select “All user slices”, that’s all now click save.

Step 7 : Browse to the folder where you saved your current images and upload them to your Facebook profile.

Step 8 : Share the images with everyone and save the album.

Step 9 : Go back to your album and now you need to tag them with your name

Note: This is a critical step wrong tag misplaces you image and you won’t get the final result.

Step 10 : Now open the very LAST image and start tagging with your name. Go previous again tag and follow the same step unless you land to the first/big picture, now instead of tagging make this picture as your profile picture. There you go, check out your profile now

Step 11 : If you people not to see your hacked trick, then you can remove the post which shows up your recent tagged photo’s.

Alternatively, if you find above steps difficult to follow then you might download this already created PSD Photoshop template and import your desired picture to a new layer. Now follow step 6 onwards, isn’t it easy ?

Apart from blogging and studies i am also interested in taking good photographs. There are certain snaps which need to make some major or minor adjustments which include adjusting the contrast and brightness, exposure compensation, cropping or adding beautiful frames and backgrounds.

These adjustments can be made using different photo editing software’s like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Picture Manager, or ACDsee or any other tool that might be installed on your desktop. But what if you don’t have the tool on your system and don’t swant to spend money buying these tools, then the online editing websites becomes handy which everyone will go for isn’t it ?

Similarly while searching for online photo editing websites i came across Picnik which features many different editing options and features which a good tool have for eg:

What Picnik Features ?

• Edit your photos by using easy to use tools.

• Works on Mac, Linux and Windows
• No registration/installations required.

The best features i like using Picnik is that you can add text in different styles like creepy and halloween fonts to the image. Visit Picnik and give it a try.

We can say with a great confidence that Apple products have entirely changed the life of a human being providing state of the art facilities on finger tips, the latest Apple iPad was just a marvelous product from the company, thousands of applications make iPad a really worthy gadget.

The concept of newspaper can be seen on iPad, the upcoming innovations would even allow you to make a call/video call from the gadget. Similarly another change through iPad is having an autograph from the President of America, Mr.Barack Obama.

At a rally in Seattle Washington, when president was busy signing of the autograph for the crowd, Sylvester Cann was also present there wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt and holding an iPad for the autograph. The crowd was excited getting the autograph and jumping to have a hand shake from the president, while Sylvester Cann was standing calm and indicating his finger towards iPad where he had written “Mr.President, sign my iPad”

Sylvester Cann used Adobe Ideas app to request an autograph. Although the sentence does ‘not have “Please” in it , it might be of less space on the screen, well that was a great idea to have an autograph on iPad. He sooner or later captured an autograph from Obama since you will be able to assure the screenshot below:

Sylvester was excited saying

At a rally in Seattle, WA at the University of Washington, the President used the touchscreen on my iPad to give me his autograph. Secret service was leery about the idea, but they warmed up to the idea and the President thought it was cool.

He looked slightly surprised, but proceeded to use his finger to scribble on the iPad using the Adobe Ideas app.

I have a video of the event as well. This HAS to be the first time an iPad has received a Presidential autograph.

To share his unique experience with everyone, Sylvester Cann decided to create a webpage for this event which is called ‘I figured, why not ask?’
