hrbrt dot meMade you look!Subtle Papers II for the Retina iPadFirst of all I want to thank everyone that downloaded the original Subtle Papers for iPhone. It was a huge success and I received lots of love from Twitter and lots of links from many great websites - thank you all. I had several people ask about iPad versions and I considered them at the time but wanted to stick with iPhone walls because of the impending news of a retina iPad. Well, on March 7, Apple made everyone excited once again. I wanted to do something bigger and better this round, not only in pixel density but also quantity. The original Subtle Papers contained 6 (3 dark and 3 light) wallpapers. I decided to "up the ante" this time and make a 2048 pixels by 2048 pixels of EVERY pattern from Subtle Patterns. Yes, I said every pattern, that's almost 200 total. It took some time but with the magic of Atle Mo's Photoshop pattern file and some homemade Actions, it made the process tolerable.

One of my favorite pictures of him ever. He was photographed as a normal guy, not a big shot of an emerging personal computer company.Sunset & ThunderheadsLooking to the north, I could see the end of the day and the beginning of night being attacked by thunderheads. It's too bad we didn't get anything but a few sprinkels but gorgeous nonetheless.

When I started I grabbed the images off the iCloud.com site and thought it would be really simple. Haha, I thought so until I realized the iCloud guys were only 200 pixels wide, i.e. not retina-ready. So I had to recreate every one of them, it turned out to actually be fun and easy but getting it right the first time was key. A funny side story - I was looking for a cookie so I used Google Image search and the fourth image was the exact image Apple is using for their site - seriously. I guess they don't photograph food In Cupertino, They only serve it in Caffe Macs. Do Not Rock No. 5!When lead toys were cool. Found this a week ago, it's an Empire Strikes Back mini set - pretty cool for the 80s. |
