British, South Africa, Dutch, Argentina, Malaysia, Russia, Puerto Rican, Slovakian, Finland and Cuba will be in next update.
One thing I’m curious about is why is there a flag of British in Australia flag? Is Australia owned by British?
I’m really sorry about the site being down yesterday and today. The bandwidth exceeded 10GB in three days.
I’m not exactly happy with the way my host provider treated me though. I thought it was a little unprofessional but I’ll not discuss about that right now.
In the meantime, anyone have better recommendations for host provider?
“VFXSoup: Blue screen or green screen?
Alex: I’m a green screen kind of a guy. Green has a much higher luminance than blue, so it’s much more forgiving for lighting and exposure. I don’t know why more fx supervisors don’t insist on it – it would make their lives a lot easier. Blue screen tends to suffer in the shadows around the feet. If the blue screen gets too dark, you’ll end up waging war in the blacks and your comps will look like bad holograms (think R2D2 + restraining bolt = “help me obi-wan”). As far as I know, blue and green cost the same! The only drawback with green is that it does tend to show the dirt more – but there are always those natty little elastic shoe covers – very chic.”
Pretty interesting to see what techniques he used to make iPod commercials. I really don’t understand why some major production companies such as Industrial Light & Magic still prefer to use blue screen over green. Two leading digital productions companies; WETA Workshop (LOTR) and Manex Enterainment (Matrix) prefer green screen because it gives depth to objects while blue screen make objects feel too flat (ie: Star Wars Ep. 1/2).
Industrial Light & Magic haven’t made any breakthrough in technology lately though. The effects in Hulk, Harry Potter, etc are not that well-done, IMO.

Australia, Palestinian, Venezuela, and Italy will be in next update. Venezuela is taking a little longer than expected because of the complexness of image logo at top-left. I’ll hold that one for next update.
The rest will come in after that. Should I do a flag for Saddam’s ex-home? How about a flag of his beautifully bearded face?

Currently, the only available flag is Canada. US version will come soon (sidenote: I’m a proud resident of US but for some twisted reasons, I decided to do Canada one first :) )
If you would like me to make any other flags, post it in the comment.
Based on Old Glory Screensaver.

Now I can legally drink wine. What about Beer, you ask? Nah, my stomach is just not fan of them.
Take care.
Enough new link cursors to make Mickey Mouse cry.
Thanks to Sage for some of his cool link cursor ideas
Note: Self-Critique will be posted every once in several months. The reason why I decided to do this is to encourage myself to step back and take a view at my work in different perspective. That way, I will be able to take a look at my mistakes and try to understand why they did not work. So, I can learn from them and try to improve my future designs. It is not only for me, but it is also an opportunity for you to learn from my mistakes and avoid making them in the future.
In each self-critique post, there will be a list of problems and solutions included with comparison screenshot (old against new). Even though this is a self-critique, you are more than welcome to post your own critiques and feedbacks.
Wood Signs Icon Set – Feb. 2002:
• Over-detailed
• Poorly done 32×32 and 16×16 icons
• Bad Shadows
What did I do wrong:
I tried to make the icon as detailed as possible because I thought it would help icon to look more detailed in smaller size but it did not. It made the icon to be messy.

Update & Credit: Thanks to Will Lesieutre for turning the divider into applescript that does nothing when you accidentally click on it. All divider graphics are now updated to use this applescript as a base app.
