MOSAIC

-


We're back on the game viewers! This time with the ultimate test.

For today, I've decided to test my limits by using everything I have previously taught you on this blog. A mosaic of portraits, using photos, photo editing, special effects....everything!

So, buckle up because the show is about to start.

To begin with, I have decided to use an image of an art gallery in order to make this mosaic feel like like a real museum.

With this background, I have used photographs of my collegues (with their permission) to make this mosaic. 

I firstly cropped the image to the size I wanted it to be, and after that, since I felt like there weren't enough paintings I decided to edit more picture frames in.

After that came all of my colleagues photos. One by one I edited each one in their respective frames, and I cropped them to the right size.

For the ''filters'' I turned every picture to black and white, later I removed the white part (and left only the black), so that way I could paint the background with any color I wanted. Also, I added some drawings in some of them, which I think look really cool! All of this was possible with the threshold tool, which made everything easier.

Lastly, I made a new layer from visible and I added special effects such as lightning! And just like that, we get a beautiful mosaic which I will hold very dearly for the rest of my life as the ultimate GIMP project.


I hope you have enjoyed this ride together!

DIGITAL SECURITY

 Hey, hey, hey security maniacs! I know the internet is a very touchy subject, and so is the security we have while we are online. A lot of people don't like talking about it, and to be honest I don't blame them. However, since most people don't like getting very detailed about the way they surf the web. I will post a couple of posts in order to teach all of you some basic rules about digital security. You will find these posts below this one.  Also , I was planning on doing a quick voting session in order to see which tips you liked the most out of these posts (phishing links and password security). You can vote here ! All the answers will be published in this post for everyone to see, so everyone can see the feedback. But remember, if you don't want to vote, that's completely okay! :D Here are my the posts about digital security if you guys haven't seen them, or if you want a faster way to get to them!

PC BUILD

Hello, hello! Under this post you will find a series of posts I made with a complete guide and explanation on how to build a PC. The budget for this PC would be around 900-1300€ (may vary depending on discounts, demand, shipment fees and alternative components). This guide will help you through the buying process of all the different PC parts, however, the building process may be hard to understand through text. To ensure a good installation, I'd wholeheartedly recommend TechSource's step by step guide, where he will guide you through the building process in great detail. For this build, most of our parts will come from a site called PC Components, however, a few of them will come from Amazon.  https://www.pccomponentes.com https://www.amazon.com If someone doesn't have the time, and/or doesn't want to look at the PC building guide without knowing the parts it has beforehand, you will find a message at the end of this post with a flip book I made showing all the data y

PASSWORD SECURITY

''I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?....'' Bceuase of this, let's say, for example, you're in your home using your computer and all of a sudden a hacker gets a hold of your password for a certain website. Since it is only one website it should be okay right? WRONG. Most people use the same password for a wide number of websites. Therefore, in this post, I will be giving some tips in order to avoid this for those who don't like complicating your passwords. Or, for those who didn't know they were doing it and want to start preventing a future attack. 1-So, the first step to make our password more secure is, of course, to check the number of characters it has. For example, if we have a 6 letter password like ''Tomato'' then it would be advised to get a longer password of at least 8 characters or mo
