Phun with Photoshop (Elements)

I was originally going to post something about weird things fans can buy to show support for their team. I'll do that another time. Instead, I decided to play around in Photoshop Elements.

The first actual piece came in the form of the "Cleveland Indians sled" that I found online. Are there really people that spend 60 bucks on an inflatable sled decorated with their favorite team's logos? Wow...

Next, I decided to add the snow-covered hill for effect. That, of course, led to me sitting on the floor of my office and taking a picture of what I hoped look like a goofy guy on a sled. Well, at least I got the goofy guy part right...

After some editing, and some motion blur for effect, I added a US flag border and a "TribeCards" script. After all, nothing screams card-collecting computer-geek quite like this:



At least the post *IS* Tribe-related, right? :-) Has anyone 'lost' followers before? I could very well be on my way, I'm afraid...

  2. Sounds great! went to cedar Point as a kid, and the only thing I remember is some ride that was all about the san francisco earthquake - buildings 'fell' etc as you rode in a cart.

  3. I remember that ! I don't think it's there anymore.It's all about roller coasters now. I don't get along with them too much. I haven't been there since our kids marched in the high school band.
