Border And Text Effects In Psp8, For use with PSP8

NETWORK TECH WORLD Do you want to jazz up your graphics? Want to add a bit of pazazz to your art? Well, this guide features some knowledge, border effects, and even directions to make your own swirlie brushes!

Now, open PSP and get ready to learn! Let's start off with the basics.

-------------------------------------------------
-Border Effects

There are two main types of borders, solid borders, and decorative borders. A solid border is like a colored line that raps around the outside of your image and separates graphics from the rest of the page. You can have borders inside the outside borders to make awesome layer effects. Decorative borders are almost the same, except they are not completely connected. (Example - Dashed Borders)
-------------------------------------------------
Dashed Borders
Open PSP and create an image about 380 x 100 pixels with a white background.

Draw a bit with your paintbrush, just add some color. Now maximize your image.

It should take up the whole page. Now go up to the toolbar on the very top and click "Selections" and go down right below that and click "Select All" There should be a dotted line going around the outside of your image.

We're almost done! YAY! Ok, now look on your keyboard. Go to the very top row next to the F1, F2, F3, F4, and look to the right of the F12 button. It should say "Print Screen". Press it, and it will take a picture of everything currently open on your computer that you can see. Now go to the top toolbar once one. Go under "Edit", move down to "Paste", then move your mouse to the right and select "Paste as New Image"

Now, your image has a dashed border, but you can see all the unwanted parts of your workspace. So go to the left toolbar and click the crop tool. It is the small square with a line through it.

Now drag the segment the crop tool makes just around the image. You might want to zoom in some (Click the magnifying glass on the left toolbar on the spot you want to zoom in). Once you have it fully outlined with the crop segment, double-click to crop it. Wallah! Your image now has a dashed border. So just go to the top toolbar once again, go under "File" and click "Save As". Then, select the spot and name to save it.

-------------------------------------------------
-Font Suggestions and Styles

So you know how to make a cool border for your images. Now what about fonts? Well usually, for siggies, you would put a bigger font saying their name, and a smaller font with sub-text. Look at my signature:



See how it says "Anonymous" in a large font that matches the background; then under it, it says "SOD's coolest member" (my sub-text) in a smaller font? That's the usual format for text on signatures. Of couse, this isn't the only way.

Now, for some font suggestions:

Larger Fonts
Laurenscript
Baby Kruffy (This one is awesome!)
Casual
Chick
Cheri
Walt Disney
Mullet
Dolphins (yippee!)
Jelly Belly
Flubber
Porky's

What is network

NETWORK TECH WORLD What is network  A network is a group of devices, such as computers, servers, and printers, that are connected together and able to communicate with each other. Networks can be classified based on their size and scope, such as a local area network (LAN), which is a network that is confined to a small area, such as a single building or campus, or a wide area network (WAN), which is a network that spans a large geographical area, such as a city or a country. Networks can also be classified based on their communication protocols, such as the Internet, which is a global network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to connect devices around the world.

Network Devices

NETWORK TECH WORLD A network device is a hardware device that helps to connect a computer or other devices to a network. There are several types of network devices, including: Routers: These devices route data packets between different networks. Switches: These devices allow multiple devices on a network to communicate with each other by forwarding data packets to the intended recipient. Hubs: These devices are similar to switches, but they do not filter the data packets based on the destination. Instead, they broadcast the data packets to all devices connected to the hub. Bridges: These devices connect two different networks and allow data packets to be transmitted between them. Modems: These devices allow computers to connect to the internet by converting data into a format that can be transmitted over a phone line or cable connection. Firewalls: These devices protect a network by blocking unauthorized access and monitoring traffic for any malicious activity. These are just a few exa...

How to Hack Computer

NETWORK TECH WORLD  How to Hack Someone's Computer As the digital world becomes more and more complex, the need for deliberate, thorough security grows. Yes, we know, you’ve got everything “password protected.” And yes, not every hacker is like the guys in the movies who are able to keyboard their way through complicated layers of encrypted, password-protected security faster than a gamer boots up a new version of Call of Duty. In the real world it’s a lot easier than that. And no, this isn’t actually a tutorial about how to break into someone’s computer or smart phone or tablet. Just an observation of sorts. A caution to our loyal readers, if you like. The Brand Keys 2012 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index reveals that consumers choose laptop computers on the basis of anything but security. Instead, consumers tend to select on the basis of factors like innovative design and brand reputation. This doesn’t mean that security isn’t important, but that it does mean that it’s...
