These Were Really Fun!

These last two pages i did about the Snow Day my brother and His family got to enjoy, recently, were a lot of fun! The challenge came in duplicating a reverse and trying to make sure all the elements were sized and placed the same as much as possible. i tend to feel that the solid background made for a much cleaner, crisper feel.







When i switched over to review this post i spotted a mistake in one of the pages. Can You see it? This is the difficulty in creating the pages when it requires so much space usage in Your computer system.

You're only able to work on one page at a time. You spend a lot of time going back and forth between pages during the process. The only shortcut is to keep a notepad beside Your keyboard and write down all your dimensions and effects measurements, literally.

It takes a lot of caution. Had i used one of the pre-designed backgrounds on these two pages, i would have had a nightmare on my hands. The Pixel Magic software program that i use is very touchy when it comes to the amount of space usage on my computer. If there's not enough space available, it won't save the finished product in it's own file format.

i got really lucky here. The good news is - the files were saved in the program's format. i can go back and make the corrections. The bad news is - i have to save five different files for each page i create.

The software's format file
One full-size .png file
One full-size .jpeg file
One 450 x 450 pixel jpeg file for Digitals Gallery
One 500 x 500 pixel jpeg file for Email that goes out to friends, family and my groups.

Each time i have to make a correction - i have to go back and re-do all the other files, as well!

Unfortunately, i've already posted to the Digitals Gallery. i've already emailed out to everyone. And i've already sent the full-size jpeg files to my sister-in-law. So, guess what...

Since i'm just a beginner at all this - i'll make the corrections in all the files and only email the corrected full-size jpeg file to my sister-in-law. Beyond that - i'm learning from all my mistakes! There are mistakes to be made that go beyond just creating the pages! Thank God - it only takes once for me!

But one other lesson i've learned here, about myself. i need to learn to step away from all the creating and file saving when it's late at night and i'm very tired!
