Cool idea with those vector images. Some of them look pretty sweet in the 3D environment. A whole new avenue to experiement with this weekend.
Thanks for the tip.
Just a comment about the video player you’re using… not being able to change the volume on the player itself during the “commercial” before the screen cast is highly annoying. Luckily, I have a mute button because the volume playback on that is ridiculously high compared to the volume of the videos.
Just sayin.
WOW!!! It;s the simpliest techinques that give the design work some needed pop!!!
We want more…..

why doesnt my gradient tool work like yours? i can’t use the color i want if i do it the manual way….gradient as you showed deosnt work at all.
WoW! I am new to Illustrator but have been working with PS since version 3 however, i can’t seem to get the background colour to stay on when moving the object tool as you do in the tutorial. It automatically goes to transparent. So I can’t seem to see what the result will be until I stop moving the mouse. Then I have to remove from history.
What am i doing wrong or not doing. Tried using the shift key or option key also tried the clipping mask but to no avail.
Btw just switched over to a Mac from Windows so I’m thinking that I have not set PS up correctly or use the correct buttons on keyboard?
Please help
Very cool. I am just beginning to watch your videos, but thank you already. I will definitely keep watching.
Also very cool how you have ???in the back or the screen XD
I suppose it’s the real key to all designs.
But CS5 really seems to have a punch of nice features!
Will stay tuned on this!
