Shapes to make up a bigger shape, what's it called?

http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/mechanic.jpg
I can't even figure out what this type of illustration is called, as I'd like to put it together, but can't find any resources. Are there any special techniques used to make an illustration like this happen?
Thanks!

Not sure if there is an official name for this, people have used pictogram, pictograph, illustration mosaic in the past. Photo mosaic are similar except a database of photographs is used to amek a new photograph.
Don't know of any software that can do this for you usually this is done manually.
You can check out wordle to see this done with words.

  • Newbie: What's it called?

    I'm a complete newbie but trying to get up to speed. This question has
    me baffled because I don't know what to call it to search online and
    in docs.
    Say I have a pointer slide and a dial. I want to be able to adjust
    either one and have the other update as well.
    I see grouped controls like this in sample VIs but how do I make my
    own - or just what are they called?
    Thank you.

    If you place an event structure inside a while loop (both in the structures palette), you can react on value change on either of them and update the value of the other.
    Like the attached VI...
    greets, Dave

  • Save makes the file bigger

    I find that if I open a .MOV and then just do a Save (ctrl-S) the saved file is bigger. And repeated saves make it get bigger an bigger.
    What's that about?
    Is there a way to get it back to its original size?

    To maintain vector output capability from Photoshop in PDF you can't output PDF by way of printing and using Acrobat Distiller. From the File Menu you choose Save As and then select Photoshop PDF from the list of file formats. It will retain vector data from embedded fonts and vector shape layers. I just tested it using Photoshop CS 5.5 64-bit and then viewing the results in Acrobat X.
    That being said, Photoshop is a crude tool for passing along vector-based artwork. I don't like the vector shape layers feature very much at all because I find it very user un-friendly. I very much prefer to use Adobe Illustrator in conjunction with Photoshop. It's so much easier to control. I often paste AICB formatted paths into Photoshop's paths palette via the clipboard and then use the vectors as sources to create fills and other things. I'll manually create clipping paths on photos in Photoshop and save TIFF images with the clipping paths active to knock out the background when placing the TIFF in an InDesign or Illustrator layout. I'll create other vector objects in Photoshop to later export in .AI format to Illustrator. Ultimately the end result winds up in Illustrator as a single page layout or in InDesign as a multi-page layout. Both Illustrator and InDesign are far more capable than Photoshop at combining vector-based art and raster-based art together. When you save a PDF from InDesign or Illustrator there is no doubt your raster content and vector content will remain intact. Like the solution with Photoshop, in InDesign and Illustrator you simply choose to save the file in PDF format. No need for using the print to PPD and Acrobat Distiller post process step. Distiller comes in very handy for creating PDFs from lots of non-Adobe applications.

  • Quality warning when make a image bigger

    Hi!
    I'm making my albums with a company that has its own software. Very easy and nice to use, but I would like to try to do my albums with Indesign.
    When I add the photos in my software and make the images bigger I get a warning message telling me that the file won't be printed at the best quality. And that's important. So, how could I know this in Indesign? How could I know where to stop with resizing an image in order to make look good on paper?
    Thanks a lot!

    You did not state the version number of InDeign you are using. ALWAYS tell us the version number. We cannot give complete answers if we don’t know what tools or commands you have available. Also state the OS, since that is often just as important to know.
    For a selected image, look in the Info Panel at Effective Resolution. This is the resolution at which the image will output. You should probably avoid anything under 180 ppi. For your entire document, if you are using InDesign 6 or 7, you can configure the Links panel to show Effective Resolution for all images in the document. In the Links panel’s flyout menu, select Panel options and turn of Effective Resolution, as well as any other features you think you will find useful.

  • I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
    Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
    IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
    Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
    That is from the page that you linked- does highlighted part of message ring a bell?

  • I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?

    I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?
    Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
    I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
    I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
    I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.

    The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
    One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
    Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work.

  • Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

    Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
    I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
    Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
    Any help please would be fantastic.
    Thanks Chris

    Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
    And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
    Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
    I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
    Thanks again

    Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
    If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

    Although Dreamweaver Templates and Library items are suitable tools for doing this, they're tedious and cumbersome at best. They get old very quickly.
    By far the most efficient method is to set your navigation bar up as a Server Side Include (SSI).
    SSIs are not Dreamweaver specific, they're a general web technology available on any server.
    A good primer here

    Not with SSIs. Simple sitewide menu updates take a few seconds.
    You edit a single text file locally (either button labels or a CSS rule for styling the button), upload (1-2 seconds) and every page on the site is instantly updated.
    Much better than DW Templates.
