Josh runs a blog called Tutorialaday.com. As the name may suggest, he posts a tutorial a day.

  • 1. Determining Your Hourly Wage
  • 2. Develop Base Prices For Different Project Types
  • 3. Develop Prices For Any Additional Requirements
  • 4. Develop Prices For Outsourced Work

August 7, 2007 The invention of the Internet cannot be pinned down to any specific time, place or person as it was developed primarily for military and scientific applications throughout the 60s and 70s in the US. The World Wide Web on the other hand, the basic software building-block that makes access and categorisation of the billions of documents that sit on the Internet possible, can be attributed to one person – Tim Berners-Lee.

I haven’t had a chance to look at these neat sounding booklets yet but I thought I’d better post this to my blog before I forget!

A couple months ago our production and training guru, Jason Hoppe, developed a great series of “What’s New in CS3″ booklets for our summer workshops at Seattle’s School of Visual Concepts. If you missed out (or don’t live in the Seattle area) here are the PDFs for you to download:

What’s New in Photoshop CS3.pdf

What’s New in InDesign CS3.pdf

What’s New in Illustrator CS3.pdf

These provide a quick, visual guide to all those cool new features in Adobe Creative Suite 3. Jason did a wonderful job putting these together — and while they are intended to be supplemented with lots of additional information in the live class, they stand on their own as a handy resource.

Take a look at what the nice people over at Photoshop Support have done:

Why would you need Photoshop brushes in high resolution? If you print something at 200 or 300 dpi then you’ll need graphics that can be sized accordingly, and that’s where high resolution brushes excel.

They were meant to be used in documents where the size would be much more substantial than just a web page element or a simple background. So download some of these exquisite free brushes and create something stunning in hi-res right now!

Visit our new Free High Resolution Photoshop Brushes Directory and you’ll find an amazing collection of free Photoshop brush sets from master Photoshop brush designer Jason Gaylor of Designfruit fame, and some very beautiful free high res sets from the always generous Bittbox.
