History of mobiles

[Guest timmillwood]

A lot of people seem to have a history of their mobile for their signature, how is it created, i want one!

[Guest Confused Stu]

I created one a while back just by copying pictures of my old mobiles off the net and pasting them in a line into Paint. Unfortunately, it looked completely pants (due to my previous choice in phones rather than quality of picture) so decided never to use it! :)

So far as I know there isn't a program specifically designed for this purpose - just use Google and your favourite picture editing software.

Or just create a text version.

It's just a .gif image knocked up by searching through the web for phone pictures, resizing them down and putting them together (I use an old version of Picture Publisher) then saving the image to my web space and linking to it in my signature.

it's just macromedia flash - i use actionscript a lot (the flash programming language) because i use it at work all the time. uhh... not that i use modaco at work :D

There are other apps that can make flash without knowing the code. swish, i think, is one. mine's just a line of images, with darker ones beneath... on mouse over, it's programmed to switch images and bring up text (also possible with a javascript mouseover)

i thought flash mx.

i just did mine just a while ago and it takes me 30minutes to do(google, paint and ms word) and it's ugly. :) i did not use flash, probably sometime i'll do it with flash.

yeah, mx2004 actually. hopefully soon work will buy flash 8 for us :) i like seeing the histories. makes you realise how far we've come. and in some examples, makes you realise that the old stuff still has some great features compared to the new stuff - ie it's not just mhz and os, it's style :D

and man, some people move *fast* through devices! my friends laugh at me for how quickly i do it, but it turns out i'm not that bad after all ! ;)
