Inspired by Simsmj's exceptional work here I thought I'd have a bash at making a globe myself.
I began with the World Projection #1 from the Xara clipart gallery (you'll find it in the sub-category 'Geography') and from there made it up as I went along.
Recently told "If you were a gal you'd wear your bra back to front" I decided to do this thing in accordance with the reputation that person has allotted me and did nothing as per Simsmj's most excellent example.
I haven't attached the gif here 'cos it is a li'l too large.
Although 'tis only 123x123 px the file size is over 1MB.
Amazing.
So converted it to swf and attached that instead - still rather large though.
Haven't attached the source file 'cos I think the swf is big enough for one post - the source file is under 200kb..
This isn't a "Hey look what I did" post - it is the result of seeking different ways to do things and I'd be interested to hear what you make of it.
