Want your photos to look like Polaroids?

» 06 September 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

Quite funny, I downloaded loads of Polaroid images some time back, so that in case I wanted to create Polaroidstyle photos with Photoshop I could. Then suddenly get an email from the lead developer at Rollip.com telling me about their website and web-application.

Its an easy 3 click manner to create images like the one you see on the left. Its free too!

One thing Im missing though, is the ability to choose the position and cropping of the photo I’m uploading to the Polaroid template. Hope to see that in their next release.

Most common web-banner formats in Norway (mest vanlig banner formater i Norge)

» 27 August 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

After some research, I (believe) I have found the most common webbanner formats in Norway.

Both the ad agency McCann Norge and webproduction company Jucicy agree that these are the 3 most common sizes: – Board: 468×400

- Topbanner: 768×150
- Skyscraper: 180×500 (can have different heights)
Microsoft Advertising Norge say they use mainly

- 300×250

- 234×60

But, they also have: 728×90, 160×600 and 180×150

This is the overview from VG banner formater
Format Pixler (bredde x høyde) Maks kB
Toppboard 768 piksler 150 piksler 50 kB
Nettboard 468 piksler 400 piksler 60 kB
Nettboard3 468 piksler 600 piksler 60 kB
Sideboard 180 piksler 500 piksler 40 kB

Great work Olark!

Download Youtube videos easily

» 06 August 2009 » In Uncategorized » No Comments

Gazzump (previously known as Farkie) downloads and converts Youtube videos, MySpace playlists, movies, audio, images, and much more into several different formats such as mp3, avi, mov, etc. Its kind of slow at times, but still usefull if you want to for example check out a video offline or listen to a song as a mp3 that you cant find anywhere. (Example: The fantastic song “Bonkers” by Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden is not available on iTunes, nor have I found it in any shop, but its on Youtube…)

Only bad part about Gazzump is that you have to register.
