How to Be a Better Designer - Explores Key Ideas To Sharpen Your Skills

How to Be a Better Designer - Explores Key Ideas To Sharpen Your SkillsHow to Be a Better Designer explores five key ideas that will sharpen your skills and awareness of the elements of good design. From the intro: At PepCon this year I was honored to give two presentations, both on the topic of How To Be a Better Designer. This article summarizes the first of those presentations.

But before I start dispensing the advice, a question, an answer, and some disclaimers. First the question: Who am I to be giving such advice? Answer: I’m a graphic designer. Like many of you, I wear several hats. These days my working life is cobbled together from a combination of authoring online tutorials, writing, training, consulting, art, photography, public speaking, and…graphic design. I put it at the end of the list, but really it is graphic design that informs everything else.

Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers - Free PDF

Learn Photoshop from a renowned professional photographer and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer who actually works in the industry and doesn’t just write about itAdobe Photoshop CC for Photographers — a professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Macintosh and PC, by Martin Evening. (Download the free PDF here) Learn Photoshop from a renowned professional photographer and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer who actually works in the industry and doesn’t just write about it.

This bestseller has been fully updated, is packed with professional examples, step-by-step tutorials, and 750+ color images. The accompanying website features sample images, tutorial videos, and more. Download the free PDF here.
From the intro:

SHAKE REDUCTION FILTER
At the Adobe Max show in 2011, there was a sneak preview of a new ‘de-blurring’ plug-in that generated a lot of excitement. I think Adobe themselves were caught by surprise at the amount of interest and speculation this created and if anything had to downplay expectations. Well, that filter has now arrived in Photoshop. What it does is correct the camera shake in a captured photo rather than work out how to refocus an out of-focus image. The way it does this is to interpret the image and look for signs of camera shake, and in particular, clues to the path that a camera moved during an exposure.

For example, this will be most apparent in sharp pin-point areas such as catch lights in the eyes. From this the Stabilize plugin is able to calculate a camera shake signature for the image and use this to work out how to reconstruct the scene without camera shake. It’s kind of like a software version of the image stabilizing control found on some lenses and cameras.

Site Grinder Web Design Tool

SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
