A Photoshop guide: How Rick made it to Domainfest

It would be fantastic if Rick Schwartz had *really* made it to Domainfest yesterday 😀

Rick possesses a footprint in the domain industry unparalleled by any other domainer, including Frank Schilling and Dr. Kevin Ham (The man who owns the Internet.)

Domainfest, the west coast domainer event, kicked off and so far it has been declared a big success by many of its attendants.

So how did we make it possible for Rick Schwartz to attend Domainfest?

Here’s a quick and dirty step by step guide – enjoy 😀

Start with the original picture of Rick Schwartz from TRAFFIC 2008 (thanks, DNJournal!)

Select the podium TRAFFIC logo area and fill with white

Paste in the Domainfest event logo, shift it over to the left to make it more believable

Select the area around and behind Rick - the TRAFFIC background needs to go

Delete it!

Paste in a picture from Santa Monica

Blur the Santa Monica background to achieve a focused effect and add depth of field!
