The Bezier Game


Earlier this week I was randomly browsing some online tutorials (I always try to find time in a week to brush up on my technical skills) and I came across a tutorial regarding the pen tool in Adobe Photoshop. I am already quite familiar with the pen tool, but I guess I was interested to see if there was anything new I could learn. Even though I didn't necessarily learn anything new, I did receive some tips on how to increase my speed when dealing with anchor points. The person in the video mentioned a game used to help you master using the pen tool, it was called The Bezier Game (if you have some time try it out).

You're given different objects and shapes and are tasked with trying to trace the object/shape following the short tutorial they give you beforehand, in as least nodes as possible (nodes being the anchor points). I'm not sure how many levels exist but here are a few I had done:

Norwich FC home kit


Another team whose home kit I've also taken a strong liking to is Norwich FC (congratulations on your promotion to the premier league, Canaries). Occasionally I tend to check other football leagues (just out of my pure addiction to football) and I stumbled across Norwich's home kit for the 2018/19 Sky Bet Championship season I'm not sure who they were playing but they were at home and that's when I noticed the design of their kit.

A bright yellow shirt with a geometric sort patten (just enough to cover their shoulders) using their house colours (green, white and yellow), green shorts with a yellow rim and of course green and yellow socks. To be honest the only part of the kit that drew my attention was their shirt's design. The design pays homage to one of the clubs most famous shirts in its history from the 1993-94 season but, with a modern twist, in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the their UEFA cup run. Take a look below at each of their shirts:
