Bill Kendrick's Awards and Mentions
WebFX Mentioned In "Yahoo! Internet Life" Magazine

Web Design Special Effects With winter on its way out, now is a good time to give your Web site a digital spring cleaning. But how to give your graphics a new kick? Forget Photoshop, Adobe's software for graphic artists and designers- it costs a bundle and takes weeks or months to learn. Instead, head to WebFX [cs.sonoma.edu/kendrick/webfx/], Bill kendrick's instantly-gratifying graphics tool. It lets you modify Web images with more than 40 visual effects, from swirls and shadows to simple animations. When you come up with a modified image you like, simply save it on your computer and upload it to your site. First, you'll need the URL of the image you want to modify. If you don't know the URL, go to the site on which the image is located and right-click it (Mac users, click and hold). Select "Copy Image Location" (or "Copy Shortcut"). At the WebFX site, type or paste in the URL. You can modify any image on the Web- your own or someone else's. If you want to use someone else's image, even in modified form, be sure to get permission. Choose an effect from the pulldown list, then click "Apply Effect." Wait a moment, and the modified image will pop up on your screen. To save the new image on your computer, simply right-click it (Mac users, click and hold), and select "Save Image As..." (or "Save Picture As..."). Follow your service provider's instructions for uploading images to your Web site. Feeling more ambitious?
