And then transferred them to my computer.<\/p>\n<p>Then Photoshop CS2 came into play in a big way to sharpen the images, and reconfigure the elements into a more pleasing composition. (More pleasing to me, that is.)<\/p>\n<p>And of course, colouring and texturing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made this pic for Jennifer to print on canvas and use every year as a banner to hang in her room.<\/p>\n<p>(The name tag I made for her was an absolute hit. Kids and parents loved it. Colleagues were a little put out, because most of them insist on being called &#8216;Mister&#8217; and &#8216;Missus&#8217;, rather than by their first names.)<\/p>\n<p><i>I did the linework for this pic using eraseable whiteboard markers on a white surface in Jen&#8217;s class. I took photos with my Nokia N91. And worked extensively on the images in Photoshop CS2.
