Fourth and Final Tag Class with UPDATE   Author:  64365  Category:(USM Events) Created:(7/6/2008 7:23:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (202 times)   Hello everyone! Last night I had my 4th and final tag class and it seemed simple enough. I tell ya'!  I have great respect for our USM tagmakers.  They all do an awesome job.  It takes hours to make the tags you see here on USM...mainly because they have to keep them at a certain byte  size, and that can be pretty rough. The details in the images they use  get lost when they are reduced in size,  and it is very frustrating.  That said, I will produce what I have fought all day long to come up with.  This is my homework.  We had to make a tag using two of the techniques we learned last night. I came away from last night's class thinkin' this was a-gonna be easy.... uh-uh...nope...not easy at all. That says 'happy feet' not 'nappy foot'   On the one I have just inserted, I reduced the color-depth to bring it down in byte size...it's still over the standard limit, but considerably reduced.    All you USM Tag Makers deserve  medals and honor awards for all that you have to go through to make the awesome tags that you make.  Hats off to you all!   Update--this is my final attempt. I have reduced the byte size by reducing the graphics and animation. (my Penquin's feet don't look so nappy, now)   Hangman, I would like to say you are the greatest, and certainly the most patient teacher I have ever known. Thank you for giving me the classes, and showing me something new.  You are awesome.
