Good morning everyone, Happy Friday! Let’s talk Flash and Illustrator!
Lee Brimelow has got a great tutorial on Illustrator Artwork and Flash. I think making your assets in Illustrator offers a great deal of control in your designs, and the move to Flash from there is very simple. You can check out the whole tutorial over at the link below.

Layers Blog Contest
Congratulations to Daniel Kramer for winning this week’s Blog contest. The correct answer was the Korg M3 Music Workstation (which is prob the most AMAZING keyboard out there). Daniel just won Scott Kelby’s “Photoshop CS3 for Digital Photographers” and Corey Barker’s “Photoshop in Motion” as well as a 1 year subscription to Layers Magazine. Many thanks to our friend John Chase at Korg for the pic.. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be talking about this little number, and how it helps in the creative process.
That wraps up this week for me. Have a wonderful weekend, and make sure you stop in on Monday for the following contest!
Hey RC,
I wanted to share something with you that I think would be great for you to feature and pass on. My brother, Steve Paterson, one of the founding partners of Clear (www.StartClear.com), a graphics design firm in Southern California, has decided to do something very special to help the victims of China’s recent earthquake. He has started http://www.FiftyThousandShirts.com. The goal is to sell 50,000 shirts, raising one million dollars (which will be donated through World Vision, http://www.worldvision.org).
It would be great if you could pass on to your audience the great opportunity that this could be. Also if there is anyway you would be willing to put a banner up or know anyone who would want to you can get them off of this site: http://fiftythousandshirts.com/action/.
One of the sponsors of this effort is http://RedisWhite.com. Red is White is a faith-inspired, ongoing, online t-shirt design project. Anyone can come up with a design and submit it to Red is White. The Red is White community then rates the designs and the winning designs get printed (and the designer gets paid).
I think this definitely seems like something that your audience could get behind.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Mike Paterson
