I tend to seldom
leave well enough alone when it comes to pictures shot for posters or flyers. I
usually like to either crop, polarize or animate them. Since working with a
graphics program normally entails defining the layout measurements and work
area before you can get started, I like to take a short-cut via another useful,
internet platform: www.lunapic.com.
The lunapic
photo editor is an easy and straight-forward option for turning your pictures
into animated gifs, collages and simple posters or to spice up your personal
profiles.
After uploading
the photo you would like to work on you are automatically redirected to the
editing area of the online platform. With the tool bar on the left-hand side,
you can easily crop and magnify your picture or even add a gradient. If you
would like to add an effect or animation you simply choose one from the
drop-down menus in the top bar. If you
are new to designing and unfamiliar with some of the options offered, I would
suggest taking a look at the effects gallery which can be accessed via lunapic.com
à 200+ Great Effects link (http://files.lunapic.com/account/top-effects.php).
A feature I
really like is the Facebook pic. It redesigns your picture to fit your personal
profile or page. You simply upload a photo and select the Facebook pic effect.
All you have to
do after adding the effect is save the picture(s) to your desktop before
uploading them on facebook. Lunapic gives you easy instructions to follow.
Some other cool
features:
You can also layer two effects on each other, like I did in this picture!
So, what’s your
next picture project going to be? I hope you have fun picturing the
possibilities!
