Lamborghini Reventon Modeled After F-22 Fighter Jet


The new Lamborghini Reventon is latest Supercar for the super rich. With a price tag around 1.4 million dollars this car is for an exclusive group of high performance car fans. If the price tag wasn't enough Lamborghini is only releasing 20 of the cars, which have all been sold. It is possible that a they will release a few more but you better have been on the waiting list a year ago. It had been reported the Reventon Supercar has been modeled after the F-22 fight jet and taking a close look at the design it's hard to disagree. If a car ever looked like a fighter jet this is it. The name Reventón comes from that of the famous fighting bull that took the life famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. Source: http://www.lamborghinireventon.net/

Here are a few others from the 'old days'.

Illustrations from the Old Days

Here are a variety of illustrations from my high school days. I'd like to think I'm able to draw in all kinds of styles, or a few different ones anyway. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the drawing, you need to use soft edges, and sometimes, dark and thick outlines to make your drawing scream louder. You can draw a rose to look soft and realistic on one occasion, and draw another with thick outlines, sharp edges, in a much more abstract form.


Babyblue Studios Header

Here's a header from April 2007 I made for my website http://www.babybluestudios.com/. I was bored and thought of the idea of blending and chopping a bunch of my designs/illustrations/photos together to create a collage of sorts. I had a lot of fun rearranging the layout. Every other arrangement looked completely different from the one before. It's amazing how different one variation can look from another. And when do you finally say - "Yup, that's the one I like"...I guess I liked "this" arrangement best. There is a new collage featured on my website now, and it uses a lot more white space. This one was just a lot more fun I think.

Top 10 Best Shoe Design: Air Jordan 12

The Air Jordan XXII was released in 1996-97 and was the first air jordan shoe in the Jordan Brand line. In this season, Jordan lost the MVP season title by the narrowest margin in NBA history to Karl Malone as he helped lead his Jazz to the NBA Finals only to fall to Jordan and the Bulls. Jordan wore the Air Jordan 12's while he took home his fifth NBA title and fifth NBA Finals MVP. This is by far, my favourite Air Jordan shoe, and picked by myself to be one of the best shoe designs of all time.

Before Distributing Presentations to Others

If you're making a Powerpoint presentation that you intend to distribute to lots of different people, here are some important things to remember:
1.
Stick with the fonts that come installed with Windows. When in doubt, go with Times or Arial. Fancy fonts that appear on your machine will cause problems if everyone else doesn't have them. If you're using a fancy font, make sure to embed the font.
2. Avoid embedding sounds and videos: these will not go from Mac to Windows gracefully, and you have to be very careful about how you insert the files in order to get them to "travel" properly.
3. Try looking at the presentation on a different computer; be prepared for some visual changes in your file - the version or platform may not support some of the features you've put in, so be sure to check your file on several different machines and versions BEFORE you distribute it!

Making Powerpoint Presentation Files Smaller

Prior to Powerpoint 97, there was no internal file compression code inside of Powerpoint, and files could get pretty big quickly. The most common cause of large files is the addition of large bitmaps. Powerpoint 97 compresses these bitmaps, but previous versions do not. To keep your presentations as small as you can, try reducing the resolution of your bitmaps, which will bring their size down tremendously. For viewing on screen, the bitmaps don't need to be more than 72 dpi; they won't print nicely until they're up around 150 or higher, but the screen always displays at 72 dpi, so if the primary viewing medium is the screen, there's no point in having the bitmaps be a higher resolution. Also, the bitmap format can make a big difference to your file sizes. JPEG and PNG both have good internal compression code. GIF has some, but not as good as JPEG. BMP files are the largest; TIFF files will also be very large. Sometimes, as you're working on a presentation, you'll notice that the file seems to get bigger for no reason. To get rid of this "bloating", save the file using "File/Save As" and give the file a new name. This can reduce the file size.
