As we are coming close to the end of the term (7 school days left), but who's counting, I thought this might give you all a good feeling. I found this animation through http://blog.jemillo.com/2010/05/return-of-blog-well-nearly.html the blog of Jem Robinson. When you have some time, you might want to look at some of her work. But the animation is the star today. Rhiannon Evans that I stumbled across recently, created this work:

If it is Tuesday, it must mean I have something more to say! Luis Giron (digital media major), who works in sound, After Effects, Flash, among other things at Sapient Nitro, just shared a link with me that I will share with you. What a profound statement this makes. I think that some of it says what I have said in different words. Maybe this will be the first time that you will hear someone say "You should steal." Read the article, read the comments, say what you will here in response.

Photoshop to the fix again! A beautiful photo, yes, but more important notice the attention called to the beautiful Jane Aldridge (in front) from her blog: http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/. You could use this technique in video as well. Thanks to Lisette of http://lemodablog.blogspot.com/, who always has great fashion links. Not bad when you can look at gorgeous women and learn about graphics at the same time.
And take a look at her blog, maybe a long look: in an interview 12/1009, Jane is quoted, "With 75,000 daily hits, my blog has become a full-time job. I dedicate 5 to 6 hours a day to Sea of Shoes. I have to take the pictures, edit them, write the accompanying post and reply to between [sic] many emails and answer many interviews. I created it with mum two years ago. It started off as both of our projects, but I ended up taking over it completely. My mom has her own blog now." If you don't believe me about the importance of blogging and the possibilities of real jobs, this should about do it.

One more that I think would be helpful for logo design is http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/quick-tip-how-to-create-a-paper-style-alphabet-using-illustrator-3d/. This tutorial was created by the same author of the previous post, Iaroslav Lazunov

I don't think that you need to create your own alphabet, but the article will give you tips on 3D modeling, symbols, and blends in Illustrator.

For those of you already working with CSS and web design, you might enjoy http://www.noupe.com/tutorial/drop-down-menu-jquery-css.html. Even if you don't know jquery, I think you can apply these concepts to your web design.

He seems to be very talented and very experienced in creating useful tutorials. I hope you can learn something from these.

In this ongoing view of the Illustrator tutorial, I am recommending http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/how-to-create-a-tube-of-paint-and-a-brush-using-adobe-illustrator/. If you learn these skills, you will turn flat graphics into ones that show depth, perspective. Also, when is the last time you have used penumbras in designing illustrations? If you do this tutorial, I bet you will soon become a better designer, because your eyes will be trained to look at light, shadows, blends, and so on. Let me know what you think? How many of you already think of these techniques when creating illustrations?
