Spring is the time of year where our planet awakens from a long winter hibernation and returns to its former glory. At every turn you can hear birds chirping, see greenery sprouting, and the promise of rain means relief from snow and cold. It’s the time of year when we trade winter coats for jackets and umbrellas as the holidays become a distant memory.

Easter is the most important holidays of the spring and, for some, of the entire year. However, you don’t have to be religious to enjoy a variety of do-it-yourself decorating projects to prepare your home for Easter and the spring season. Here are some creative, fun, and simple decor projects to get your home ready for Easter.

Simple Umbrella Door Decoration

Via Better Homes & Gardens

Wreaths are so last season. Literally. Replace that holiday wreath with something festive for Easter like this door decoration. You’ve probably seen floppy hats holding flowers on doors, but try using an umbrella instead. If you can find an umbrella that’s inexpensive and old-fashioned — perhaps at a yard sale or thrift store — that’s even better. (more…)

1. Apple iPad Air

In spite of the fact that Apple iPad Air was introduced last November it is still the best tablet for this summer. This tablet is Apple’s fifth generation of tablets computers, and they done almost incredible job with this device.

First of all, The Air was entirely redesigned in contrast to the iPad 4, predecessor of the newest Apple tablets generation. This tablet has the same design as the iPad Mini, with a good deal of thinner profile and stunning beveled edges. The most amazing thing about this device is a 9.7-inch Retina display, but, on the downside, the pixel density is only 264ppi.

Inside it has a 64-bit Apple A7 chip and M7 graphics processor, and as well a 5-MP rear camera and a FaceTime front camera. The Air has unbelievable 10-hours of battery life, and that mean you can surf the web, social network or watch videos and listening music all day long. It runs on iOS 7. (more…)

What precisely is a texture? The expression texture in Photoshop submits to an photo that is used  on top of your own photo that when accustomed via merge modes or cloudiness imparts a “texture” on your photo. The “texture” doesn’t have to be of a material texture, in reality it may possibly be almost everything, as well as a different photo. Usually though textures will be photos, but it might be a picture of clouds, rain drops on a windshield, bubbles, stream reflections, etc. That’s the exquisiteness of using textures, because they can be everything and joint noticeably to make a extensive variety of diverse looks.

For this tutorial we will be using Photoshop CS4, an original image, and a couple of textures. To obtain your own textures you can create some of your own, or otherwise, try out on flickr or deviantArt for accurately thousands of free textures. In this case we will be using a paper, and a bokeh.

The Original Image

We choose this photo because of the gloomy mood of the focus and sufficient unenthusiastic space. (more…)

It may seem like a rather strange thing to consider, to design your home or a room in your home like a casino. You would certainly not consider it to be opulent if you think of the online casino websites where you can play free casino slots. However, there is something to be said of the fun of this sort of website that could partially inspire a design. However, what would be very elegant is to think more along the lines of a sophisticated Las Vegas casino. Admittedly they do have their own selection of rather more tacky designs, but there are also a great number of grand hotel casinos which have some simply stunning design features. Lots of thought and money have gone into designing some of these buildings and it is from there that you can draw real inspiration.

If you have ever been to Las Vegas and visited the Bellagio, Paris, Venice or any of the more high end casinos, you will understand what I am describing. The beautiful buildings and the sophisticated feel that they have are really something else. These buildings are designed to bring in the very wealthiest of people, either those that are already well off or those that have won significant amounts playing in the casinos. They have some top designer clothes shops and the very best attractions, which need top class designs around them to set them off.

You should choose your best casino and use that design to base yours on. You do not have to stick to the design exactly but pick out your favourite features. Try to work out why they are your favourites and then use that to perhaps come up with new ideas based around them. If you have not been to a Las Vegas or other elegant casino, then you could look online for pictures to see if they inspire you. It will not be the same as the real thing as you will not be able to see the detail or absorb the atmosphere in the same way. However, it will still give you an idea of what they look like and hopefully that will inspire you. You will be surprised at how they look, if you have never seen one and how hard the designers work to make each building stand out from the others and each to look more attractive. Even if you only take away a few ideas, you could end up with a completely unique design. (more…)
