Designers: How to Be Critically Acclaimed and Paid $100.00

I hire designers. I love and hate working with you guys. Sometimes you want to turn my projects into your own personal platform for expression. Other times, you want to find the most powerful way to communicate the needs of the project both visually and functionally. But most of the time, you do something of both. And I have no way to know where my project will end up with you.

The most compelling designer I've ever worked with was a kid named Japheth in LA. It wasn't his portfolio. It wasn't his presentation. It wasn't even his personality.

Japheth had a rap sheet of acclaim. He had collected a list of comments and attributed them with photos of the people who made these praises. It was as though he brought a mob of Japhethites along with him. It was almost a religious experience.

I love designers. I want you guys to revolutionize the world starting with the denim I'm wearing to the crazy freeway signs in LA that make you turn onto oncoming traffic in rush hour. I want to help you do that. So, I built http://plurban.com/design

If you upload your favorite (doesn't have to be your own) fashion designs, graphic designs, art, performance art, you'll get this:

1. I'll publish out your work to my 37,000+ Twitter and Facebook friends.

2. At the end of the month, the designer/artist with the most comments from unique commenter get $100 out from my pocket.

3. Best of all, you'll get that rap sheet. You'll get that roll-out list of critical acclaim.

So go ahead, upload and publish your best work at my new site: http://plurban.com/design

PS... really, the best part is that when people Google your name, they will find you along side the top designers in the world who are already published in Plurban. So you'll be rubbing shoulders with all the right people... What else you bump and rub is totally up to you.

Pro Tip: How to Crop a Youtube Video with Div Tag: Cropping Black Bars by Centering

Los Angeles Clothing Manufacturer DMResourceLA.com wanted to embed their youtube videos in their website. It's a minimal haute couture and fashion site. That's easy enough. But the problem is that their videos came with the control / play bar at the bottom and ugly black bars in the left and right side.

Cropping the bottom control bar away is easy. We just put div around the object and gave the div a css attribute of overflow:hidden. Then we made the div height exactly 29px shorter than the height of the video.

The trouble is that if you try the same thing for the sides, it doesn't work. You can put center tags around the object or img picture you're trying to crop evenly on both sides but the object or img doesn't center. The narrower width div only crops off the right side.

So, to evenly crop both sides, just make your div width 40px narrower than the object or img width. Then in the object or img tag, specify a style="margin-left:-20px." Now, you're centered. If you want to do this across all your images or object embed videos, just set a css style for object or img as -20px for the left margin.

For more technical how to's, facebook, google and twitter marketing trade secrets, and for a good time, follow me at http://twitter.com/journik ... for help with your site and marketing, call 310 598 1606. Ask for Bob Wan.
