The cover of a recent Vice magazine featured a glowing, ghosted BMW illustration.
Vehicular cruelty?:
- "Flower Power" isn’t just for aging first-gen iMacs anymore. Check out this drawn-upon Bentley Continental.
- "Pimped" doesn’t begin to capture the illustrated, bejewelled craziness of these Pakistani custom vehicles.
Game theories:
- The Playstation blog talks about using Photoshop to Make Your Own PS3 Themes. [Via]
- Not to be outdone, an Xbox blog talks about paint customization features in the NASCAR ’09 game. "The online connectivity of Paint Booth allows players to download a car template from easports.com and import it into editing programs, such as Photoshop, giving users a multitude of design options."

Hey, John, i could not find any other suiteble contact ability, so i will ask question here (delte this post later or something).
It is possible to adjust height of UNDERLINE on text in Photoshop. As it is currently, Underline in Photoshop is rendered 1 pixel too much down compared to the HTML render of browsers. So, it is possible to somehow adjust where the underline is set? Can you tell the boys to implement that feature if it is not possible in CS3?
Thanks =)

I wonder when we can expect those Pakistani buses to hit the US market as hybrids?

I bet they could never get those Pakistani customs made on a production line. They are sweet!
