Third Eye Blind – The Background

Everything is quiet since youre not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk haight street to the store
And they say wheres that crazy girl
You dont get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I dont see you anymore since the hospital
The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And Im hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
Im in the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you no
I would never lie to you no
I felt you long after we were through, we were through
The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And Im hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
Cause I felt you long after we were through
Well you come swimming into view
And Im hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel to you
I only know because
Im way Im way in the background
Im in the background

How can I remove a white background from a picture in Paint?

Like ok, I know how to remove a picture from its background, but if I wanna put that picture into another background, the picture has a white background behind it, so how can I remove it?
Please help!

And you’re doing that in Microsoft Paint ???? Wow… you’re brave – that would have to be THE worst program to use.
Anyway…. I know what your problem is and it is very easy to fix, except that I don’t know if Paint will let you. If not, many other programs such as Photoshop, Elements or Gimp (free) certainly will.

You said you know how to extract the subject.

So the Photoshop steps would be:

Promote the background to a proper layer
Select the subject, delete what is left

Save it as a TIFF or a GIF. <—- that is the magic step, because jpg’s don’t support transparencies.

What is the difference between graphic design and advertising?

I would like to attend SVA for one or the other but I am unsure of the difference. I looked at the curriculum for both and they had many overlapping classes. I would like to one day make advertisements for television by means of animation but i would not like to work with cartoons. HELP?

oh and also is SVA the best choice for a graphic design/advertising major?

Advertising is strictly ads. Like newspaper, television, ect. …. And can involve animation too.

Graphic design can be many things. like designing cd or movie covers. Or maybe design a new screen saver for a computer. Its an endless list really.

They go hand in hand because they’re one of the same. For you, go for advertising. graphic design doesnt specifically stay on advertisement for long, and is meant more as a starters place for someone who wants to go into advertisment

What are some good plugins for a PSone emulator?

I was happy ever since I heard I could play Bust A Groove again, but I could never figure how to set the plugins, let alone know what they’re for and do.
Can anyone show me how to do this?

Which emulator do you have? I think PSX has plugins set up for you and all you need are bios. But I tried it and I could never get it to work correctly.

What is the difference between transparent and opaque?

Give an example of something which is transparent to visible light but opaque to some other form of light. Give an example of something which is opaque to visible light but transparent to some other form of light.

Transparent means electromagnetic radiation can pass through.
Opaque means e.m. radiation cannot pass through.

How much does it cost to study graphic design or animation in Korea?

I want to help my younger brother achieve his dream of studying animation or graphic design in Seoul, Korea. I did a search for a public university that has a dorm and accepts foreign students, I got one result: University of Seoul, they have a program for Industrial and Visual Design.
Any idea how much does it cost? Any other suggestions for institutes specialized in animation / graphic design? How much is the cost of life for a student in Seoul?

Thank you

silly seoul univ – not having it on their website…..will try to get it from friends….
