dental Implants


Suffering severe damage or loss of teeth is still a particularly common occurrence nowadays. This is in spite of the many improvements in dental technology and dental care as a field. It is usually caused by a number of reasons. The most common of which would include injury, gingivitis (also known as gum disease), and tooth decay.

Traditionally, two options are made available to the patient who wants to have their teeth fixed. The patient would have to choose between partial dentures and bridges. However, both these options share one serious drawback. They do not provide permanent solutions to the problem. Fortunately, dental technology has advanced enough to provide a better alternative to these two with the introduction of dental implants.

Having dental implants put in is one of the most effective ways to deal with the problem of tooth loss. It provides patients with a permanent solution to their problem. This is because these dental implants are essentially replacement teeth to the ones which were lost.

The dental implant’s success can vary on a case-to-case basis. For instance, one of the factors which impact this is the exact location of the implant, or where in the jaw it was put in. However, the general success rate of these implants is on a 98% average. Proper maintenance could mean that these implants will last a lifetime.

They are composed of two parts. First, there is the artificial root. It is usually made from tough metallic materials such as titanium. This artificial root serves as a replacement to the natural root which has been damaged when it is implanted into the patient’s jaw. The second component of dental implants is the artificial teeth. These teeth are attached to the implanted roots. Patients are also given the option of having these teeth permanently or temporarily. Whichever the case may be, these replacement teeth will serve as the substitutes to the original teeth.

The cost of the dental implant treatment is a bit more expensive when compared to dentures and bridges. This is perfectly understandable since the treatment entails a surgical procedure. Unfortunately, most insurance policies do not yet cover this procedure. However, this is money that is well spent since it can resolve the problem of missing teeth permanently. Make sure that you consult your insurance provider first in order to verify the details of your insurance program.

It is a vital requirement for patients undergoing this procedure to have enough bone in their jaw to hold the implant. They must also have a healthy set of gums. Aside from this, they must also commit to regular dental consultations and maintain good oral hygiene. Anyone who can undergo routine oral surgery such as a dental extraction is usually eligible to have dental implants put in.

Dental implant services can be acquired anywhere in your immediate area. This means that you can also get these dental implants in Sherman Oaks. However, make sure that you first consult with a dentist in Northridge CA in order to make sure that you are eligible for this treatment.

5 iPad Apps for designers

Whenever a new medium emerges, services change. This is true in case of tablets.  Tablets lie somewhere between the lines of a smart phone and a traditional computer. They are able to satisfy entertainment needs in ways that smart phones can never compete with and at the same time they offer business services for the users like delivering presentations and making timelines.
Being more portable and easy to use as compared to laptop computers, Tablets are increasing in popularity among digital designers. Third party developers are launching applications on platforms like the Apples iPad for designers to do their office work on. Some of these applications are covered here.

iMockUps

iMockUps is an app exclusively for the iPad. It allows UI designers to quickly design wireframe mockups for their websites or apps. The touch interface is very natural and easy to use. With templates available for iPad or iPhones and drag and drop elements wireframe creation is as simple as it gets.

The iMockUps is extremely user friendly, and has all the functionality that a professional application or website designer needs.
Autodesk 123D Creature
Got an iPad and love to play around with digital design? Autodesk has something for you. Autodesk 123D Creature is a new iPad app that lets you create and print amazing 3D characters. It starts with a stick figure which is further processed by modeling, thickening and texturing with tools and lightning effects. Multi-touch gestures are used to thicken, stretch and sculpt their creature. The app uses many of the popular features of the 123D Sculpture app.

Adobe Ideas:
Adobe ideas is a vector based digital sketchbook app. The app is for iOS and is designed for extreme simplicity in use and simple user interface.
adobe-ideas-46.png
Adobe Ideas is not heavily loaded with features. It is a basic app that is good for noting down ideas and creating simple vector sketches. It provides only one type of pen that can be varied in width and opacity. Finger strokes are smoothed out along the way. A new feature of layers is added to the app which makes it all the more useful.

TypeDrawing
TypeDrawing is an app for the design geeks. It’s not much of a production app, but pure entertainment and art. The main concept of the app is designing the typography of the given text.

To use the app, the user places some text in the text box. The speed, text style and background are chosen by the user. With swipes of finger, the user can move the text in a given direction. Multiple layers can be added to increase the complexity of the model.

ColoRotate:
When the user opens ColoRotate, a Radish looking three dimensional colored object appears on the screen. The colors can be plotted using the dots on the object. The vertical dimension represents lightness and darkness whereas the horizontal dimension represents saturation.

ColoRotate is not exactly easy to use. But with proper know how of its operations, it can turn out to be a very powerful tool.

Arab art as the reflection of (Islamic) culture


Claire El-jabi was the founder of Arabian art. She began art as a hobby in the Middle East. Art shops in search of the best paintings of Arabian horses and the artists who make these wonderful animals on canvass. Upon seeing the attractive paintings collected, Claire was frequently asked to commission works by Arabian horse owners and so began 'Arabian Arts'.
Claire was absorbed into the word of Arabians from an early age and developed a deep admiration of their attractiveness and grace whilst living amongst her mother’s beautiful horses. This admiration grew whilst living in the Middle East and continues to evolve.
Arabian Art mostly promotes the work of Assem Al-Mandalawi, a famous Iraqi Horseback riding artist, who has an amazing ability of capturing the living essence of his subjects on canvass. Commissions by Assam so perfectly capture both the character and physical attributes of his subject that one almost expects the artwork to come to life.
Art reflects the culture. There is no case to which this description more directly applies than to the art of the Islamic world. Not only does its art shows its cultural morals, but even more prominently, the way in which its adherents, the Muslims, view the spiritual category, the world, life, and the relationship of the parts to the whole.
Islamic art developed an exclusive character, utilizing an amount of primary forms: floral, arabesque, calligraphic and geometric, which are frequently complicated. From early times, Muslim art has showed this balanced, compatible world-view. All over the history of Islam, its art has taken a great selection of forms in the several parts of the Muslim world, which spreads from North Africa to Southeast Asia, according to local values and traditions, ranging from simple folk art to that of the most expert artist. In the works of the end, whether it be a master calligrapher, a skilled embroiderer, a renowned potter or ceramists, or miniature-developer, the legacy of well craftsmanship, relating the mastery of an art or craft along customary lines complete with thorough attention to excellent feature, is quality.
These customs maintained today, and Islamic architecture and attractive arts are still very much alive and valued in many areas of the Muslim world. As Western-style art forms and machine work have to an extent decreased the customary forms, handwork is appreciated and valued, an important characteristic of the decoration of mosques and Muslim houses. In specific, decoration featuring Qur'anic calligraphy is a vital aspect of Islamic art or Arabic art.
In above 14 months and a million visitors later, the latest galleries dedicated to the arts of the Islamic world — which it calls the galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Iran, Central Asia Turkey and Later South Asia — they have develop into one of the visitors most famous attractions. The 15 galleries, which took eight years to complete, showcase above 1,200 works of art and objects and are structured by geographical areas to emphasize the prosperity of the Islamic culture.

What’s New in Photoshop CS6?

As all of us know that everything is changing rapidly with the passage of time. Large or big screen computers converted into handy or small screen tablets, now it is much easier to handle thousands of confidential documents, today you not only hear the voice of your beloveds far away from you but you can also see their smiling and glowing faces. There are thousands of examples here but Photoshop cs6 is just another name of revolution in web design and graphic industry. With the change of time and need, lots of changes occurred in Photoshop but this version is really a great outcome of Adobe industry. I am quite sure that Photoshop cs6 will defiantly help the designers to design their graphics art, web pages or any kind of artwork with an ease. Here in this article I will tell you about what’s new in this version of Photoshop. 

1) Easy to Identify Layer:

As compare to previous version of Photoshop, searching layer is quite easy and handy in CS6. This version allows you to search layers by type, name, effect (layer style), blending mode, color or by large range of attributes.

2) Apply Layer Styles on Groups

Now it become possible to apply layer styles to groups just like we apply on bitmap, vector and type layers.

3) Copy Shape Attributes and Paste Shape Attributes

Photoshop cs6 have made easy to copy shape attributes of one layer and paste it on multiple layers. Just make a right click on a vector layer, copy the shape attributes and apply it quickly to one or more layers. Not only this, you can now select a range of vector layers and paste the attributes to all of them at once.

4) Strokes on paths

Now you can use the vector strokes in combination with the stroke layer style for stroke on stroke action. There’s also a bunch of associated options, including dashed stroke editing that’s similar to Illustrator.

5) User interface brightness

One of the most exiting features of Photoshop CS6 is that it represents four different interface brightness options. The default option is grey but you can change it according to your mood and taste. I personally like black interface.

6) Better shape layer naming

Now in Photoshop cs6, all the shapes are created using their actual tool name, like Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse and Rectangle. Now you don’t need to worry about remembering layers sequence, Photoshop CS6 will now do this for you.

7) Mask feather improvements

The mask feather setting under the properties panel blurs the mask of vector layers. It’s a great feature, but I’ve shied away from using it in previous versions because I found its behavior unpredictable. That’s not the case in Photoshop CS6. I’ll be using it a lot from now on. Feathering is now also more accurate (radius can be floating point, rather than integer).

8) Lock multiple layers with a single click

Now you don’t need to lock a single layer one by one. Juts select more than one layers and click the appropriate lock icon to lock them at once.

9) Change the color of multiple layers at once


Now you can easily change the color of multiple layers at once. The only thing you need is to select more than one layer and apply the color at any layer.

10) Paste lorem ipsum

I don’t know about others, but for me this feature is really useful. Now without minimizing Photoshop or opening any web Brower, you can easily add Dummy text from the Type menu within Photoshop. This is really helpful especially for web designers.

11) Automatic Recovery

Another really useful feature of Photoshop CS6 is now you don’t need to press Ctrl + S to save your document. It can now auto save as you work after every 10 minutes by default, but you change it according to your ease and desire. Even in that case if Photoshop crashes, it can recover your document.

There are many other multiple exiting and handy features of Photoshop CS6. Just keep in touch with us to explore more. And if you want to share anything relevant to Photoshop CS6, just submit free articles or your comments on our website.

Start Up Guide to Design Responsive Websites

With the increase in technology, responsive website designs are drifting away from the pool of passing fads and becoming a demanding source to represent IT industry. When it comes to design a responsive web layout, whether it is beginner or a professional web or graphic designer, it always be a confusing job at first. But, learning some basic techniques and developing skills, anyone can easily become a creative designer of responsive website layout. In short, if you want to represent the future, try to play on this ground.

From the past few years, responsive design has got some boom in the web design industry. Here in this article we will help you to learn about how to design a responsive website and its basic techniques. So, let’s start!

Do You Know About Responsive Website?

Many beginners and even professional web designer usually ask about what is responsive design exactly? This is not a right question. A better question to ask might be, what problem does responsive web design solve? The answer is quite simple but logical. Well, many of us know that computers are not just limited to a piece of a hardware placed on our computer table with a simple web browser to connect with the world. Many of you agree with this? I might get you in trouble by saying this, make it simple. iPhone is the first cell phone technology that introduced a web browser for internet lovers, and it was really a great turnover. After that, many cellular companies followed this technique and today, almost every single cell phone has a web browser.

Have you ever thing that why Apply introduced web browser in iphone? To compete with IBM or Intel? No, absolutely not. The main reason to introduce this technology is to allow people to browse the web on their phones just as easily as they browse the web on a desktop computer. That’s why; web design industry has started to create the mobile version of websites, which is now named as responsive website designs.

As mentioned above that designing a responsive websites is quite confusing in the first but it can be handy if you learn some basic and useful techniques. A responsive web design is not a single piece of technology, but rather, a collection of techniques and ideas; let’s take a look at each part of the solution.





Fluid Grids

The main step to design a responsive web layout is to know about fluid grids. In the past few years, this concept was not quite popular and mostly designers design web layouts with fixed width. But, now websites are not just limited to a single screen resolution. There are huge numbers of screen resolutions present in today’s market. So, in this era, designing a web layout with fixed width is quite useless to market your products or services

Designing a website using fluid grids require more care and skills in terms of proportions. Because, when a website is squeezed onto any screen resolution, all of the elements in the layout will resize their widths in relation to one another. There are so many responsive web design inspiration websites that can guide you in detail about designing a responsive website.












Media Queries

The second part of responsive design is CSS3 media queries, which currently enjoy decent support across many modern browsers. If you’re not familiar with CSS3 media queries, they basically allow you to gather data about the site visitor and use it to conditionally apply CSS styles.

IF you want to see some responsive website live in action then just see these examples given below: Just select any design and slowly resize the browser to make it thinner. You will observe that all the elements automatically adjusting their positions. Isn’t it Magical?
