VistaCreate makes beautiful graphic design easy

This post is brought to you by VistaCreate.

Graphic design software VistaCreate offers an array of tools that can help anyone create effective images for their business or project — optional design skills.

To do that, the easy-to-use graphic design software offers a huge array of templates, free access to a massive library of images and videos, and handy tools, like a new background remover that helps open up your image options.

Even better, the free version of VistaCreate is feature-rich on its own. But if you want even more, you can try the Pro version for a few dollars a month.

VistaCreate free graphic design software

VistaCreate, formerly known as Crello, finds many of its more than 10.8 million users among social media marketers, small business owners and creative types with projects in mind. The free graphic design platform with more than 75,000 templates and a library of 70 million design assets is incredibly useful for a wide variety of uses.

Feature tool: Background remover

With VistaCreate’s background remover feature, you can remove the background from any image, or make it transparent, in just a few seconds. There is no need to spend time doing it manually. You can quickly and easily give a new look to your visuals.

This can prove useful in many ways. Let’s say you start with an image of your product. You can quickly remove the background and make it appear on a plain white background, ready for promotion on marketplaces. You can also remove backgrounds and resize images for various placements, like adding logos on different marketing materials.

Also, you can use the add-on for background remover — an eraser brush. It will help you create designs with multiple objects and get a clearer contour after using the automatic background remover.

Free access to vast image and video library

VistaCreate users gain free access to a library of 70 million royalty-free photos, high-resolution videos and vector art for unlimited use, at no extra cost. In addition to being able to download these assets, they can be used anywhere.

As VistaCreate said, no other graphic design tool and photo bank offers a royalty-free asset library of this size and quality for such a low price and with unlimited uses. What could be better?

Design templates collection

VistaCreate focuses on up-to-date and up-to-trend designs. Its professional design team works on creating new, unique design and template collections every week. Each features five to 10 graphics, animations and templates. The company also collaborates with popular artists with a unique design vision to make its library more diverse.

Could this new programming language replace C++?

New programming language known as Carbon could succeed C++.
Carbon is expected to be interoperable with C++ code,
Carbon has simpler grammar and optimized API imports.

Google believes that a new programming language known as Carbon can succeed C++, reported Tech Radar.

New programming languages that are easier to use keep Replacing old ones. For example, Apple’s Swift language replaced its predecessor, Objective-C.

Some have called Rust a C++ successor but Google’s Principal Software Engineer Chandler Carruth said that it does not have “bi-directional interoperability” introducing a language barrier. This makes translation between different programming languages difficult.

Carbon is expected to be interoperable with C++ code and users should find it easy to make the full switch.

According to Carruth, Carbon has simpler grammar and optimized API imports.

The project also has ethical motives like inclusivity making it even more beneficial for users.

Carbon’s source code can be downloaded as the programming language is currently just an experiment. Users can experiment on their own browsers with the Compiler Explorer web app.

Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts

The Visual Arts and Design Program of Distinction offers students at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts an arts curriculum that develops their artistic talents and creativity while creating a talent pipeline that builds on recent private investments in arts education at colleges and universities throughout Arkansas.

The Visual Arts and Design program provides students with opportunities to take immersive, college-level courses in 2D, 3D and other traditional visual arts topics as well as graphic design and digital photography. Courses such as Modern Design and Craft, Ceramics, Digital Art and Graphic Design expand ASMSA’s art offerings beyond traditional painting and drawing classes.

The POD’s curriculum includes eight courses called the Foundations of Visual Arts Sequence that align with most undergraduate majors and minors in visual art. It allows students with a deep passion for visual arts sufficient time to explore fundamental principles while also focusing on building a portfolio that reflects their own personal interests. The courses culminate in a Senior Studio course that focuses on portfolio building, art as a profession, personal branding, college planning and submitting to various competitions.

The Visual Arts and Design POD is the most recent effort by ASMSA to expand its investment in the arts, which was made part of the school’s legislated mission in 2004. That change was adopted 18 years ago on July 1, meaning the arts has been part of ASMSA’s name and core mission longer than the original Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences moniker chosen when the school was created in 1991.

Over the past decade, ASMSA has used institutional funds as well as private gifts to increase the standing of the arts program at the school. Three full-time art instructors have been added to the faculty, new courses were introduced and new equipment has been purchased.

Those investments have in not only a more dynamic curriculum but also in students’ abilities and recognition as well. As students are introduced to an increased number of art techniques and styles, they are using them to create award-worthy pieces. Students have earned recognition in the Thea Foundation Scholarship Competition, the Governor’s Young Artist Competition, the Arkansas Young Artists Association Competition and the Congressional Arts Competition among others.

The POD also strengthens the school’s bonds with Hot Springs’ vibrant local arts community. Additional collaboration with the Hot Springs Cultural Alliance, Arts in the Park and individual artists present students the chance to better engage with local artists and build relationships with community advocates. Student have participated in art projects sponsored by the city, including mural paintings at recreation facilities area.

Students who choose the participate in the Visual Arts and Design POD also complete a Concurrent Core that ensures all students graduate from the school with at least 30 hours (one year) of college credit. Recent graduates have averaged nearly 50 hours over their four semesters of study at ASMSA.

AN Programming Note – Athletics Nation

Hi Athletics Nation,

Many of you have probably noticed in the comments that our AN leader for just about as long as I can remember, Alex Hall, has been laid off by Vox. Alex acted as the manager and editor of AN, providing guidance on posts and organizing the daily/weekly articles the rest of us would write. Without his presence, we, the other authors of AN, have been thrown in complete disarray.

This is a conflicting time for many of us. We would like to support Alex and don’t want to let Vox take advantage of the rest of us to simply pick up the slack, but we also don’t want to leave the AN community floundering.

We’re not yet sure how this will all evolve. We’ll try to get a skeleton set of articles up to keep the community engaged while we figure this out, but it isn’t going to be anything like normal for now.

This is a sad development, but hangs in there while we try to figure this out. If anyone else wants to step up to help keep our A’s fan community alive, please feel free to reach out to us — your ideas and efforts will be greatly appreciated.

Cody, Connor, Daniel, Nico & Wally
