Inspiration: PANOS 2013 Fake Streetsigns

October 27, 2008 from aloa's blog

I love every art that has to do with street-art. Especially when you change signs. I see a lot of funny arts here in my hometown, but they're not as good as these ones from the project PANOS 2013

a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.

This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale.

Panos 2013 is the second edition of this project. You can have a look at the first edition in the Panos 2004 section.

Reader Tutorial: Colorful Light Effect in GIMP
I was browsing the other day and saw a Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1 with a beautiful wallpaper on it and thought to myself "Can I make one that looks like it but using only GIMP?" And guess what? I could! And with this tutorial so can you. Step 1 We first create a new document, you can make it any size, though I used 1600 x 1200. Setting by default Black as your Foreground color, we can ask in the advanced options to use it as our background.
