bits and pieces and goings and comings

I spent a good 2 hours this morning trying to noodle out how to take a raster image (basically a photograph) of a ruler and curve it. I needed to make it into an arch. I combed the internet. I toyed with raster to vector conversion idea. I looked at plugins. I scratched and pondered.

Then I went with our office manager to pick up some used file cabinets and when we got back, I sat down and looked at the deform tool of my graphics program and bam. Curv-a-licious.

This would all be ever so much easier if I had any clue what I was doing. I'd love to be a graphic designer but I don't really know the tools, I have no sense of design or color ... oh and I can't draw.

My financial advisor is coming over at 1. I've no idea what he has up his sleeve but I'm hoping for the news that I can now retire anytime I want to.

I need to go get a sandwich - back later...
