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.

Below are 21 beautiful images of flowers to your pleasure your eyes. Enjoy.

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?

David Leggett, the founder of Tutorial9.net, has written an excellent guide for Photoshop beginners. The guide covers from “Getting Started in Photoshop” to Photoshop basics which includes working with layers, tools, and etc.

I found this this guide really useful because as a starting designer I need to learn the basics and fundamentals of Photoshop. Not only Photoshop but other programs as well. The fundamentals are very essential for Photoshop users, especially for those who are just getting started with the program. You start of with the basics, you familiarized the programs, then you become advanced. So I hope this post was helpful to you.
Below are image summaries of the Legget’s guide.

You’ve seen them in different kinds of ads like in posters, flyers, billboards, commercials, newspapers, internet and such.
I was browsing online and I thought I’d share some of these images that I find really interesting. I enjoy looking at these images because I think some of these are quiet funny and disturbing. I also thought about the skills involved on producing these images, and I must say they’re pretty neat.
I hope you enjoy looking at these images. :)
