McGregor Brand: February 2015

Monday, February 9, 2015. Creating a Gmail Signature. Ever tried creating a GMail signature and wondered why you couldn’t attach a graphic as a Jpeg or Gif directly from your hard drive like you might expect? The secret is to link to your graphics from a location on the web. The quickest and easiest way I could think of to upload my icons to the web was to create a blog post with them embedded in it, so here they are here. Go to: Insert image/web address (URL).

McGregor Brand: June 2014
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Regular readers of this blog will have heard me talk about Zazzle. It’s a useful outlet for some of my work where I can sell various souvenir and gift items with my designs on them. I was recently stirred to action when Zazzle announced a competition to showcase a new range of products they were adding to their site — a range of die-cut invitations. And it runs until the end of June. This is how I used the images. Anyway, you can see any new designs I add by visiting my Zazzle i...

McGregor Brand: December 2012
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 17, 2012. Creating artist impressions is an enjoyable outlet for a few of the things that really interest me. Firstly it’s drawing, but with a focus on architectural subjects. Drawing. Houses and buildings is probably about as close to actual property development as I’ll ever get. Although as a keen Do-it-yourself-er, I’ve tried building all sorts of things around my place from pergolas, garden sheds and sleepouts to landscaping stuff like retaining walls, decks and fences. From those I ...

McGregor Brand: August 2013
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. Anyone reading this blog will probably know by now that I’m always keen to try something new when it comes to being creative and photography has been no different. But anyone with a camera (or even a phone these days) can take semi-decent photos, right? So, I want to take photos with a bit of “Wow” factor. Here’s a couple of examples taken one rainy morning recently. The above photos were taken only minutes from where I live, but now that I’ve figured out how to do this, ...

McGregor Brand: What Future for Graphics Arts and Artists?
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2014/07/what-future-for-graphics-arts-and.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2014. What Future for Graphics Arts and Artists? I’m generally not one for making predictions about where the future’s heading, but I’ve been around long enough in the Graphic Arts industry to know that change is inevitable. And with all the changes I’ve seen in the industry since the early ‘80's, and with recent grumblings I've been hearing in the Graphics world I have a pretty good idea where it’s headed. All of the design elements needed were output onto photographic paper and were 'd...

Thursday, July 25, 2013. Turning Photography into Framed Works of Art. When it comes to producing works of art and particularly paintings on canvas, I’m a bit impatient. And yet I’m constantly having new ideas about what kind of paintings I’d like to produce. That’s where photography can aid the whole process by speeding it up. I’ve been planning to make such paintings available for sale. If you’re interested in purchasing one visit my online store and order one today. Click here. Tuesday, July 23, 2013.

McGregor Brand: April 2014
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 5, 2014. Being Seen in the Right Place. When I first started getting into photography, a very important thing I needed to figure out was what to do with my images once I had some that I thought were worth sharing. Besides the 2 main social networks Facebook. Which have their uses, there are many other options to choose from, and at first it's hard to know which one's the right one. If you've read any of my other blog posts here, then you would've heard me talk about Zazzle. Flickr's very ...

McGregor Brand: May 2014

Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Having Fun with Post Processing. I’ve learned a lot about photography in recent months and while I’ve enjoyed the challenge of capturing images in camera, it’s the post processing of the images that I’ve been having real fun with. That’s the part of the process that for me is where the real creativity begins. It started off as a photo which was taken in the Auckland Wintergardens. The circle in the picture below shows the section that is shown in the enlargement above. To...IR...

McGregor Brand: The question of POST PROCESSING photos
http://mcgregorbrand.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-question-of-post-processing-photos.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2014. The question of POST PROCESSING photos. With all the technology and software available today there are a myriad of choices to make regarding how to process your images. Some of the questions that arise are:. What am I trying to accomplish? What should influence the choice of styling? How much is too much? Nd where do you start? For me it all starts with the image itself. I try to ask myself. What is the overall mood of the photograph? Take this image for example:. My initial insti...
