How to Add a Favicon to your Site

Image via Wikipedia

A favicon is a graphic image (icon) associated with a particular Web page and/or Web site. Many recent user agents (such as graphical browsers and newsreaders) display them as a visual reminder of the Web site identity in the address bar or in tabs. The wikipedia includes an article about favicons [FAVICON-WIKIPEDIA].

Unless you’re specifically aware of, and looking for visual paths you might not even be aware they’re there. But they’re often the hidden reason we “get” some images and not others.

How to Make a Door Paneling Effect in Adobe Illustrator

The vector graphics software package Adobe Illustrator does not have a wood grain effect to make door paneling in one step. However, you can use Adobe Illustrator's shape, fill and pencil tools to create your own door paneling effect and use a clipping mask to transfer the effect to other objects. The benefit of creating the door paneling effect in Illustrator is that the object with this effect can be resized and stretched and still retain its sharpness, because it is a vector graphic.

Perspective

A Different Approach Using Approximation And Relative Scaling

Perspective is the illusion of three-dimensional space created in a two-dimensional image when objects grow consistently smaller as they move away from the viewer towards the horizon.
