When it comes to graphic design, Adobe Photoshop is usually the first option to consider. However, the software itself is a quite tough nut to crack — and definitely extremely hard to master. For instance, the concepts are not always intuitive and it’s not always clear when to use what tool and how to use it effectively. In fact, in Photoshop it usually takes pretty much time to achieve something you have never done before.
However, you don’t need to muddle through numerous Photoshop features and extensions for every design problem. You can use professional suggestions instead, e.g. professional step-by-step tutorials which provide excellent results and thus can save you a lot of time.
Here’s a great list of photoshop brushes that should be a part of everyone’s arsenal. As every photoshop user knows, you could never have too many brushes.
I saw this over the weekend and couldn’t imaging the life that follows after getting a tattoo like this. I was thinking about getting a new tattoo myself, nothing like this but something cool on my arm. Looking at this pic below makes me feel a bit ill to my stomach just thinking about what this guy just did. Let’s hope he never regrets it!
Looks like some themes were tampered with and being re-distributed by Templates Browser which are modified in such a way that it is exploiting the end user by inserting hidden spam or malware links. If you have downloaded any recent theme for your Wordpress or Joomla site, I would check the code to see if it’s legit!
The links are inserted via an additional functions.php file which is included with the theme downloads. If you’re shopping around for public themes, I strongly recommend that you download directly from the original authors website.
Google Docs and Spreadsheets just got a new look. I like it this time around, it’s loading faster for me, and you’re now able to see all the documents right there in front of you. I wasn’t a big fan of the “out of sight out of mind” from the previous setup.
Outside of the new look, they did add some new things, now they have folders. Folders seems to work the same way as tags, but more like gmail where organization seems better with the traditional folder view. Also, they have Google Suggest like features for searching through your documents.
Microsoft launches their newest innovation called Surface. It’s their first surface computer providing interaction with digital content using hand gestures, touching and physical objects.
There are some more video examples on the use of it on Microsoft website, really cool stuff, although I think its target right now are commercial applications.
