I created this design to fulfill my dream to have a car just like this that I will call my own though it is just an image, still it is something that I can proud of. Hope you like this toy design that I made. Cheers!

 
I have a unknown client who contacted Graphics Design By Nilo to design a logo to be their website trademark. The name of the website is Exilez – this site consist of professional and young blogger from the Philippines who called themselves as Team Exilez.

How do they find me?
The founder of this site look for a Filipino graphic artist from the Google search and luckily my site top on that list.

 
What is exilez means?
The founder sent me the complete idea what does Exilez all about. The word Exilez came from the root word Exile which means “To Execute Power” for those who are only in power, but the other meaning of Exile is a way of punishment or to take away life. In history, they used this word to execute prisoners as a political purpose and a way of implementing the law.

How do I created the Logo?
The logo must be act as the brain of any company. I base my idea on it’s meaning and how does it impact to the people. I used “Z” as Exilez trademark, this will symbolized the meaning of the logo “To Execute Power”.

How does it cost?
This is not cost too much, some peso and a centavo. The bonus here is they made me as one of their co-founder and a privilege to access, post and put ads on the site.

I would like to take this post as a opportunity to say sorry to those people who made comment to my previous post, sadly to say that hosting phil (invert it) gave me a happy moment and bring my site back to stone age. My site was down for almost two weeks, after those darkest days they email me informing that they change their name server. When my website start to beat its pulse again I am shock that it turn down to wordpress 2.6 previously 2.7 and some comments are deleted. My holy cow, what’s wrong with them?

I am wondering what will happen to us if animals rule the world. Can you imagine a lion to be elected as President, tiger as Senators, dogs as Congressman, elephant as our Legislators, monkey keeps the budget, cats and birds are implementing the law – who you gonna think are their prey? It sounds scary but I think these are what happening in our community and to the world right now.

People just like lions have their own territory, lions do not allow another animals to hunt in their territory. They always live in group called prides that consists of 10 to 20 lions. And people also choose their own group for them to live.

Comparing animals to people is not the issue to be discuss but how people act as human. People seems to be the endangered animal soon.

A simple idea about Photoshop and Computer Graphics
Photoshop, is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current and primary market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as “an industry standard for graphics professionals” and was one of the early “killer applications” on Macintosh and PCs.

In computer graphics, graphics software or image editing software like Photoshop you enable a person to manipulate visual images on a computer. Like photo editing, photo restoration, graphic design, web design template and all you need in graphics.

Computer graphics can be classified into two distinct categories: raster graphics and vector graphics. Before learning about computer software that manipulates or displays these graphics types, you should be familiar with both.

Many graphics programs focus exclusively on either vector or raster graphics, but there are a few that combine them in interesting and sometimes unexpected ways. It is simple to convert from vector graphics to raster graphics, but going the other way is harder. Some software attempts to do this.

Most graphics programs have the ability to import and export one or more graphics file formats.

Several graphics programs support animation, or digital video. Vector graphics animation can be described as a series of mathematical transformations that are applied in sequence to one or more shapes in a scene. Raster graphics animation works in a similar fashion to film-based animation, where a series of still images produces the illusion of continuous movement.

Hope this simple explanation helps. Thanks

There are several variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and/or some products produced from animal labor such as dairy products and honey. Veganism, for example, excludes all animal products from diet. By some strict definitions, animal products are not used for attire either, whether or not the production of clothing or items has directly involved the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk, down feathers, etc.). A generic term for both vegetarianism and veganism, as well as for similar diets, is “plant-based diets”.

Properly planned vegetarian diets have been found to satisfy the nutritional needs for all stages of life, and large-scale studies have shown vegetarianism to significantly lower risks of cancer, ischemic heart disease, and other diseases.

History Of Vegetarianism

The earliest records of vegetarianism as a concept and practice amongst a significant number of people concern ancient India and the ancient Greek civilization in Southern Italy and in Greece in the 6th century BCE. In both instances the diet was closely connected with the idea of nonviolence towards animals (called ahimsa in India) and was promoted by religious groups and philosophers. Following the Christianization of the Roman Empire in late antiquity, vegetarianism practically disappeared from Europe. Several orders of monks in medieval Europe restricted or banned the consumption of meat for ascetic reasons, but none of them eschewed fish. Vegetarianism was to reemerge somewhat in Europe during the Renaissance. It became a more widespread practice in the 19th and 20th centuries.

In 1847 the first Vegetarian Society was founded in England; Germany, the Netherlands and other countries followed. The International Vegetarian Union, a union of the national societies, was founded in 1908. In the Western world, the popularity of vegetarianism grew during the 20th century as a result of nutritional, ethical, and more recently, environmental and economic concerns. Today, Indian vegetarians, primarily lacto vegetarians, are estimated to make up more than 70% of the world’s vegetarians. They make up 20–42% of the population in India, while less than 30% are regular meat-eaters. Surveys in the U.S. have found that roughly 1–2.8% of adults eat no meat (including poultry or fish).

Health Benefits And Concerns

Vegetarianism is considered a healthy, viable diet. The American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada have found a properly-planned vegetarian diet to satisfy the nutritional needs for all stages of life, and large-scale studies have shown vegetarianism to significantly lower risks of cancer, ischemic heart disease, and other fatal diseases. Necessary nutrients, proteins, and amino acids for the body’s sustenance can be found in green leafy vegetables, grains, nuts, and fortified juices or soy milk.

Vegetarian diets can aid in keeping body weight under control and substantially reduce risks of heart disease and osteoporosis. Non-lean red meat, in particular, has been found to be directly associated with dramatically increased risk of cancers of the lung, esophagus, liver, and colon. Other studies have shown that there were no significant differences between vegetarians and non-vegetarians in mortality from cerebrovascular disease, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer.

The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada have stated: “Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and phytochemicals.” Vegetarians tend to have lower body mass index, lower levels of cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and less incidence of heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, renal disease, osteoporosis, dementias such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other disorders.

Medical Use And Physiology

In Western medicine, patients are sometimes advised to adhere to a vegetarian diet. Certain alternative medicines, such as Ayurveda and Siddha, prescribe a vegetarian diet as a normal procedure.

The mainstream scientific consensus is that humans are physiologically best suited to an omnivore diet. The Vegetarian Resource Group, among others, has concluded that humans are naturally omnivores based on the human ability to digest meat as well as plant foods, with the correspondent metabolic tendency to an adaptation that makes them need both animal and vegetable nourishment. Other arguments hold that humans are more anatomically similar to herbivores, with long intestinal tracts and blunt teeth, unlike omnivores and carnivores. Human teeth, including relatively blunt canines, are more similar to those found in animals with herbivore diets than in carnivores and most omnivores. Nutritional experts believe that early hominids evolved into eating meat as a result of huge climatic changes that took place three to four million years ago, when forests and jungles dried up and became open grasslands and opened hunting and scavenging opportunities. According to one research study, the choice of dietary protein of vegetarians and omnivores is reflected in their hair protein.
