I don’t know what to make
Of these ever evolving days
Too much, too fast, too easy
Simplicity gone and broken
It doesn’t feel right
Like there is no place
That may ever fit again
No time of our own
Could the stars move backwards?
Or the at least stay still?
At least that would ease the ache
Of missing what once was
When we think of the visual arts, we tend to be taking about painting, photography and that sort of thing. We often overlook just how much can be done with lettering. Calligraphy and artistically driven writing have been done for centuries. I tried it in high school, it wasn’t easy. But I recently found this talented person who not only writes with a special visual approach but also specializes in ambigrams.
If you are not familiar, ambigrams are words that can be flipped over and still read the same way. And while you might not think this could be done with very name words, this artist does it with names.

One of the biggest issues I find with any recording I do for videos like my tutorials on things like photo editing, graphic design and more include background noise and distortion in audio. If you find yourself having a similar problem with audio files, you could drive yourself bonkers trying to find a good tool to fix the problem. Either they are expensive, require large application downloads or have some other drawback that makes them less that ideal.
I recently found a website that fixes the issue with a single click, for free, with no software download needed. It’s called Aspose. While it also offers features like splitting and text to speech, I can assure you the audio noise reducer does a great job. I tested it out with a file while speaking with a bathroom exhaust fan blowing in the background. It worked great. Depending on the length of your file, it can be completed in a matter of seconds and lets you save the result in one of 10 formats including the major ones like .MP3 and .WAV.
Check it our for yourself.
With 2022 behind us, I look forward to 2023 and all the creative possibilities. I would have liked to close out the year with a couple of more posts but sadly I had the Covid monster infiltrate my household so I had other things to deal with and focus on. May you and your have a happy, healthy and creative new year!
