An unusual request

.4... I now need to get out with the camera and try taking some photos of the various station signs. If you're trying to make a composite image of a tube sign that says "TOSSER", you need to consider the size and spacing. For best results, find a combination of 6-letter station names which contain TOSER between them. MORDEN and EUSTON are probably the easiest to get to from most places. LEYTON and RUISLIP would also do (since "i"s are very narrow, Ruislip will be spaced like a six letter word.) -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

If you're trying to make a composite image of a tube sign that says "TOSSER", you need to consider the size and spacing. For best results, find a combination of 6-letter station names which contain TOSER between them. I'd been thinking about that. I thought I'd definitely need to get one station with all the necessary letters because colour, size and lettering would vary slightly between stations. I'd assumed though that once I'd gone to such a station I could play around with resizing the letters and the finished word to make it fit the sign. Would other factors prevent this from being effective? I might have a bit of trouble with getting a nice looking match between the resolution of the original photo and the resized lettering but if the difference isn't too great or I resize the finished picture (lowering the resolution) I thought this wouldn't be too much of a problem. -- message by Robin May, but you can call me Mr Smith. Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing". Then and than are different words! |
