Monday November 10, 2008

Happy Monday everyone. So, I was cruising the internets when I saw a really interesting article for the Worst Albums ever designed over at AG Design. Ok.. being a big music fan, I totally couldn’t help myself, so I clicked it.. and giggled in the office for a little bit. I figure you could use a chuckling.. Click here to go to the article.

Dave Cross on Background Experimentation
Dave Cross has got a cool tutorial on experimenting with backgrounds on the Illustrator and Photoshop side of things. Make sure you take a look at his tutorial by clicking on this link.

Copy Paste Symbols from Creativetechs
This was a cool add. Creativetechs put up a link to a site where called CopyPasteCharacter. Simply put, you can highlight a bunch of symbols that normally cramp your hand when you try to recreate them (or cant be found) and all of you have to do is highlight, copy, and paste and you’re done. This one is one of those keepers on the bookmark list.

Contest Time
Go to the Contact page, select the Layers Blog dropdown, then fill in your name, email address and answer to this week’s following question. Remember, the contest will end Thursday 5PM,. and the winner will be announced Friday morning.
