Spring isn’t over yet, and so is allergy season (eek…jk). Flowers are still blooming their way out. On my way to school today, I noticed some beautiful flowers from my neighbor’s lawn sneaking their way through. I was going to take a photo of the flowers but I was running late, and it was unfortunate that I wasn’t able to. Too bad.

In this tutorial we’ll make clever use of Illustrators built in 3D capabilities, gradients and opacity masks to design a Retro 3D Type Effect.

Adobe will unveil its new Creative Suite 5 on Monday April 12th at 8AM PDT, just a few hours from now.

You can catch the official launch online here, however, if you can’t wait, we’ll be revealing all the juicy details before the official launch… right now!

The Adobe team kindly invited us to an exclusive sneak peak demo of Creative Suite 5 and they also provided us with a pre-release copy for this review.

In this post, we’ll be sharing some of the highlights of each application in this exciting new release, with some detailed info on the new applications. We’ll also discuss whether we think CS5 is worth upgrading to or not.

That being said, get ready to be amazed… there are tons of new features to get excited about in this release.

As an artist I always find it difficult describing to people what it is I do. Do I tell them I’m a graphic artist or a graphic designer? An illustrator perhaps? I do create things that go on web pages, so does that make me a web designer, too?

When you are designing a logo for a client or for personal work, you sometimes experience your imagination is lacking creativity or your brain cells are stuck deep inside your lackluster lobes. So I’ve collected these logo design websites for you’re booster needs. Most of these websites have galleries of great logos that will inspire you to create your own logo. Some sites provide profile page for artists where they can submit their own logo for showcasing and such. They posts new logos almost everyday so it’ll be handy to subscribe to their feeds. You’ll never ran out of logo inspirations again. Enjoy!
