Disclaimer: I don’t work for Lynda.com, I’m not in any affiliate program, I’m just a customer.  But I’m impressed. I was introduced through a course in college and have been using it ever since.
Being like most of you, I’ve been very excited about the release of CS5. I wasn’t able to attend the “Launch Party” [...]

What a most excellent post!  Kirsti at Vandelay Design has put together an incredibly extensive post on resources for beginners who want to learn web design (i.e. = Me!).
This post contains a huge list of resources for learning everything from general web design to the places you should go to learn specific topics from HTML, [...]

I always wondered how they got this kind of look on the t-shirts I’m always buying…guess those t-shirt guys are going to be out of business soon, because now that I know how to make them myself and I can choose all the particulars of the design, why buy at Wal-Mar….I mean Abercrombie…anyway, from BittBox….

This guy looks a bit more like Dudley Dooright to me, rather than a “rebellious” sakteboarder, but what do I know…ok, wait, here’s the thing…I know boys…I like boys, I like rebellious skater types even, and this guy ain’t one of them, but, none the less, the concepts of the tut are good so I’ll [...]

Wow, this really is a great batch with a lot of cool ones.  Wish I could find as many Illustrator tuts that were this cool, usually it’s things like learn to make a luggage tag or a strawberry, never learn how to make zombie hoards to take over the suburbs of Atlanta while your troll [...]
