Thefirst one there wins. There are about a zillion more ideas from real world races to any contest in which one person tries to excel above another. If you cannot think of a narrative, pick one here or just keep going without one.Step 3

There was some talk over the last couple of days on my Fear of the Game post. This exercise is designed to get people who have never designed a game, but who want to design a game no valid reason not to do so.

The best game design exercise I ever heard of was pretty simple. One simple directive: Participate in an activity you have never done in your life today and guide us to your thought process, how you came to select the particular activity. At first it seems innocent enough, but the results are always interesting, as it gets participants to forgo their deadly daily routine and rediscover their inner playfulness.

@Brenda: By the way, you mentioned this design bootcamp and I wondered. Do you happen to know any online course on Game Design? The one I have completed here on Brazil is still the only one I could find. ?

Removing backgrounds from images used to be difficult and time consuming. Now you just click a button, wait a second, and then pick your jaw up off the floor after seeing your background vanish like magic.

Never make the same stunning graphic more than once. In one click, you can turn your Twitter header into a Facebook cover, your Instagram post into a Pinterest pin, or a Facebook ad into a billboard ad.

Snappa is a must have tool for the non-designers who publish content online. It's super easy to use and has a nice set of templates, and despite its simplicity offers unlimited possibilities for creative minds.

I laid the printed design out on the wood and thought I could just trace the design on the paper with firm pressure and a little impression line would be left on the wood that I could just go back and trace. Um, nope.

2. Lift up the design and slide a page of newsprint underneath it. The classified pages and stock market pages work best, as there is a lot of small newsprint all over the page. Make sure that the entire design is underneath the newsprint.

I have a query. I bought a saying thru online store and they sent me the saying that is the peel off deal. That can get really out of control!. But they sent along Blocked paper that is shiny on the other side. So WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO??? I feel ridiculous that i cant figure it out ya know? Help anyone???

What an excellent idea!

If you don't have newspaper around the house you can also rub your pencil on the back of the design, but that requires a little more time than your brilliant technique!

Thanks for sharing I will definitely being using this!

I love it! I had never thought of doing that before. My in a pinch way to transfer something was to scribble on the back of the template with a pencil or chalk. Voila, instant transfer paper. But this is even more simple! Great idea and thanks for sharing. BTW, I love the new look on the blog.

my art teacher in high school showed us to use a pencil and do a rubbing on the back of something we wanted to transfer, then lay the transfer and trace over it, the rubbing transfered over to the object, it was really great for alot of reasons

This is a really brilliant idea! Transfer paper is actually kind of difficult to find (around here, anyway). You can get the spendy Graphite Paper for real artist type people but not the cheapo stuff that I want.

If you have a restaurant supply store or a smart and final or even possibly a costco. They have the paper you wrap sandwiches in not the white the thin almost waxy kind.(but not waxy) anyway you can get 1200 sheets for $12.00. I use it in my classroom all the time.

This is such a great idea. I usually transfer an image by rubbing chalk on the back of the image and then tracing in the same manner you did, but using newsprint makes it even easier. Thanks for sharing this idea!

Another easy way to do this with no supplies other than a pencil and your design is to just flip your design over and use your pencil to cover the back of your design, the darker the better it will show up. Simply flip your design over and trace it. The pencil on the back will transfer just like the newsprint would.

i use tracing paper, drawing pencil, (dark charcoal pencil, thick) print the design backwards, trace design with charcoal pencil, then flip, and retrace design onto wood, or canvas with a regular pencil. this works like old school carbon paper, just with an extra step, i keep a bunch of drawing pencils handy just in case.

Hi Lindsay, I think that is a really great transfer. Is it possible to see the furniture that you put this on? I would love to see the finished end. Thank you for sharing your tips, it really is a great help to all but to me as I am a beginner with painting furniture and doing transfers and stencils.

Best regards

Thank you so much for this tip. I wanted to do a wall mural and have a lot of design in it, tracing which onto a butter paper would have taken a lot of time. I tried this technique of yours with a newspaper and it worked very well!

Thanks a tonne for sharing this! ?

This is a neat idea! An easier way to do this is to use a dark sketch pencil and trace your design, then flip over on object and retrace(rubbing gently) using the eraser. Lead will tranfer onto object.

Damn, content like this particular makes waking upwards worth your time and effort!

Reading through in in the sack today I got so motivated I also decided to work out.

I want to thank actually making my life

better. The only program that used in order to do that was -to-choose-a-college/, but now Personally i think like you got the power.

I HIGHLY recommend finding pictures that have the most MINIMAL background possible, before you take your screenshot (like this plain grey background in the above photo). This will make the next step MUCH MUCH easier.

Also, I love how your design is coming along! So excited you mocked up my idea of cane & wallpaper a la Pink Cabana! I think it looks great, so I stand by my suggestion hahaha. The current iteration is very monochromatic, which I love, but I'm a bit surprised it doesn't have more color since your inspo photos are very very colorful.

Honestly Erin I just eyeball it (which sometimes goes horribly wrong) but you could definitely take a photo of your room (with furniture in it) and put it into google slides for scale! That way when you add furniture pieces you can reference what the size would be relative to other pieces in your room

this is great! Can you add how you do the scale of things? How do you make the wall space and then the bed or other pieces of furniture be realistically the right scale? Is there a way to say how long and high the wall is? or windows and doors?

Such a useful tool and free to boot especially for us amateurs. I want to confess that I am a developer but I have had much trouble understanding how photoshop works. I find it taxing to my brain cells. This really helps for noobs everywhere. ?

I am going to try my Google slides skills right away.

Download and use KiCad. It's open source. It's free. Available for Windows, macOS or Linux and It's more than enough for most hobbyists and many commercial users. You could also download a demo of a commercial program such as Altium but it won't be a much different experience, and the demo will time out leaving you without access to modifying your source files unless you fork over thousands of dollars. Follow some tutorials to get started (there will be a frustrating learning curve, expect and embrace it*, but follow the tutorials and you should be there in a few days). A two layer PCB will be fine for what you have. Try to do a ground pour. And consider Ki-cking them over few bucks if you're happy with the program.

When you have the PCB the way you like it on the screen you can output gerber files and NC drill file(s), zip them up and upload to your favorite online PCB vendor. These very inexpensive online vendors don't (can't) provide a whole lot of hands-on help, so you should read and understand their help files and take responsibility for what you get, because it's generally what you asked for (whether you wanted it or not). So you start with an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) program that is intended to produce the outputs that the industry uses, and then your interactions with them will be minimized.

Here's a second for kicad or eagle cad, whenever you use see if the parts are already in the library or if you can get a library so you don't have to manually enter in footprints or reduce that work as much as possible.

Whatever PCB software you use you'll need components in your schematic and footprint library. Building these takes a long time so don't. Use existing libraries and these can be found many places but Library Loader is a great source. Do due diligence and always check both the footprint size and pinout is correct before you order the PCB as anyone can produce and share dud library files.

If you start with something simpler, you can learn all the steps, and then apply them to something more complex. I had no experience but put together and ordered this, , by following a lecture on KiCad and then designed it with KiCad and ordered it with jlcpcb.com. The hardest part seem to be the "footprints" since you can choose from so many parts. I used similar footprints to lecture I followed, and also used ChatGPT to get some tips on footprints.

Last time I need a circuit board I went to the local community college, where they teach printed circuit making. The result was a useless disaster, as if a vulgar and brutal member of the football team made it as a nasty joke on a brainy electronic nerd.
