September has been a crazy month for me, getting prepared for university, trying to maintain this website, starting university and getting stuck in as well as releasing a second website it has all really kept me on my toes, hence the reason for the lack of posts/tutorials over the past week or two, hopefully things are settling down now and I can resume normal posting, roll on october…
But for now this is a round up of the best of the month just gone:
Lets start off with some of the best tutorials from this month, in no particular order:
A great tutorial explaining how to spruce up dull screenshots by introducing some Photoshop magic
A very unique tutorial explaining how to turn a normal picture of a horse into a cool looking RoboHorse
A very cool tutorial on how to make a 3D box icon that can be applied to many different designs/websites
A nice tutorial showing how to realistically present your business card designs
A fantastic tutorial explaining how to manipulate a photo to give a great colouful end result
Possibly my favourite tutorial this month not just because of the amazing end result but the simplicity of the techniques used to get such a great effect
Now for some of the best design based articles, this was tough as there was so many to choose from but I just picked a few:
A great article explaining what not to do when designing a logo, informative and interesting, well worth a read
A nice inspirational article for web designers looking at brown coloured sites for inspiration, also Design Shard has just undergone a facelift and looks great check it out…
A cool article looking at what different types of typography are used and how they are implemented
And finally some resources for you all to look at and use,
A collection of great textures in the Bokeh style really useful and very nice
A great collection of handwritten fonts useful for the more personal, scrapbook style look to a design
Just a quick shout out about a couple of new design related websites that have popped up this month:
My latest website, that I officially released this month, a showcase for design related articles that will double up as a design database if you are ever looking for a design article or for a particular tutorial then this is the place to go, alternatively if you want to showcase your work here then simply submit it to me and I will upload it as soon as I can, gradually getting more subscribers and visitors per day, so get submitting to increase the amount of articles available…
A great new website from Roger who also owns Styl.eti.me this website however is like a digg style site for designers and creatives, new links everyday and ever growing, well worth submitting your links to to attract fellow designers.
Thats it for September I hope you enjoyed this roundup and lets hope October is as good for the design community and keep the great articles and tutorials coming, I will surely try my best to create some good tutorials in the following month.
As of this week every sunday I am going to produce a ‘Best of The Week’ Selection where I will look through the weeks top Tutorials, Articles and Resources and produce a list of the best ones found, This being my first some feedback in the comments would be appreciated to say whether or not you like the idea,
I hope that you have enjoyed this collection from this week and that it helps you along the way, if you want to see a ‘Best of’ every Sunday then leave a comment below saying how much you have enjoyed this one and I will keep on doing them.
