Welcome to Doux Riens (sweet nothings), a random site created by a random girl. Here you'll find a variety of things, including thought-provoking blog posts, tips, layout templates, and other web/graphic resources. I hope that you will enjoy your stay here, possibly comment, and visit back soon!
Hello, hola, bonjour, etc :). I'm a 21 year old African-American woman nicknamed Mimi. I am in my senior year of college, majoring and minoring in subjects unrelated to web/graphic design. Poetry is my anti-drug and as previously stated in the welcome message, I'm pretty random. Are you intrigued?

Q: Oh one more question, how can you make patterns? Because i can't draw,but is there another way?
A: Well, I usually create patterns from brushes. On Photoline, there's an option to "generate pattern" so that they image will tile perfectly. I just create a new image for the pattern, select a background color and add brushes to it. Then I may add some effects (like shape distortion or something) and then I would generate the pattern. I'm not sure if I explained it correctly :x.

Q: hey Yasmine, I know how to do photoshop actions, but unfortunately I don't know how to pack them? Like offer them to people on my site and all that, I know you use photoline but it seems similar to photoshop. Thanks.
A: You mean compressing them into a .zip file? If so, what kind of operating system do you have? I have a Mac and if you select the file from the desktop (or wherever it's located), you can select FILE, then COMPRESS and it becomes a .zip file. I had no idea how to do it on Windows, but I just googled it: www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial105.html. If this is not what you were referring to, sorry!

Q: Is Photoline free? And if not can I purchase it in the store beacuse I don't like buying things online.
A: The trial is free (that's what I've always used), but it costs to purchase it. Unfortunately, I think you can only buy it online. I will suggest using the trial though :). After it expires, you're still able to use it but they just take certain features away.
