Learn My Illustrator and Photoshop Techniques
November 26th, 2007 Filed in: News & Updates Jump to comments
Want to learn my Illustrator and Photoshop techniques that are commonly used in my design work? Please read the article, Vector Polishing Techniques that I just posted on Web Designer Wall. I have posted 9 Photoshop techniques on how you can add more depth, color, contrast, and texture into the vector art. The 9 techniques included: lens flare effect, dusty effect, rainbow, glowing lights, particles, color dodge, blurred, watercolor, and vintage texture. Some of them are commonly asked, such as the rainbow and particles effects appeared on N.Design. Let me know your thoughts on the article and don’t forget to Digg it.

Sou o Sungo, sou angolano, estudante de informática, vivo em Luanda capital de Angoal - Africa. Encontrei este website quando estava a procura dos melheros programas para se fazer design, encontrei este e gostei imenso sebem que não tem tudo que quero mas o que encontrei gostei mesmo. Gostaria que enriquecem mais a vossa gama de tutoriais tanto a illustrator, photoshop e dreamweaver.
Peço um importante favor a vossa excelencia que se digne enviarme algumas das vossas novidades todas as vezes que puderem e gostaria tambem que me enviassem o Software ILLUSTRATOR para que eu pratique, visto que já gostei do software assim que visitei o vosso website.
Desejo-vos bom trabalho e muita força.

Easy, simple and good looking.
Trust me on this one.
Nice Job!

off topic: I hit your website for the first time last night and I have to say you are an amazing graphic artist. I’ve been doing web development for years now and have not come across many people with your skills. Awesome site!

nice work dude..
December 12th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
this stuff is great! i do have a question…We use Illustrator 10 & i was trying to do the “glassy buttons” should have been easy, right??? perhaps I’m stupid but for some reason when I apply the Screen option it mkes the oval totally white-but only when it’s over the colored ball…when I move it off of the ball it shows the gradient. I tired it a dozen times step by step & I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Is one of my settings off or something…HELP PLEASE :) THANKS

This is great. I have just stumbled across your website through a link from another one and I have to say your articles are wonderful. I am currently starting a blog for design students www.thepixlpusher.com and I was starting to do some research for what the design community is looking for in a design blog and obviously you are held pretty high on pedestal. Thanks for all that you do.

Hi, I love your website! Your tutorials are very helpful and inspirational!
I have one question though. Do you know how to make a drop shadow behind the body content of a web page in HTML/CSS. For example, http://www.metaliq.com/. I want to give my pages more depth.
Thanks! :)

Information such as this is very useful.

January 28th, 2008 at 3:27 am
I love your tutorials. Though i still find the css one a bit confusing.. probably needs more practice. But nonetheless your website is the reason for many of my silent creations :P. Can you add more tutorials on illustrating vectors like foliage? or decorative patterns?
February 1st, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I love ur designs and all, including the tutorials. Could you send me an email on how to get started with this stuff? I need to create atleast one thing similar to this for my portfolio :X

Do you have Dreamweaver behavior extensions available to download for forms that need required Drop Down Menus and Radial Buttons?
February 2nd, 2008 at 2:03 am
your illustrations are inspiring for me, i hope I can do what you do.
I was wondering if you could take a look at the vectors I’ve done and tell me what you think and if I have potential to be an illustrator. =
