Critical Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts to Make Your Life Easier

For all of you who know me, I'm old school, this is how I have always worked in my creative programs. Adobe Illustrator also has it's own set of shortcuts. So much quicker and easier to learn these rather than fishing through the menus up top.

If your Photoshop workflow feels clunky, it could be because you aren't utilizing Photoshop keyboard shortcuts efficiently. Ben Willmore has the key.

10 Indispensable Typography Terms, Illustrated

Great reference for those learning and good refresher for those of us a little long in the tooth. Drill down in the article to get to a PDF of the poster. Another great reference to hang on the wall, especially corporate designers who deal with non-designers daily.

Fontsmith put together a lovely and informative poster featuring an alphabetical visual glossary of typography terms. See a few of them here.

Check Out These 14 Examples Of Handwriting So Perfect It's Almost Scary

These are remarkable examples of Handwriting. People are always asking me to handwrite things for them, but I don't hold a candle to some of these works of art.

Some people are just naturally gifted when it comes to beautiful penmanship and these photos prove just how beautiful words on paper can be.

The spread of 3D models creates intellectual-property problems

Wow. A buddy of mine, Tim Holbrook, posted this and it does open up a lot in the design community. We are always looking at ways to streamline things, but still respect and understand copyright and trademarked material. Good little read and something all of us designers need to keep in our back pocket to make sure we don't break those rules.

At Thingiverse, people download about 6m 3D print designs a month

This has been a long time coming. I know a number of people who still use Flash in conjunction with After Effects when working with graphics and lower thirds when doing videography. That can create a crinkle in some people's workflow, but it has been rumored and talked about for years. Now, there is finally a timeline to work on new techniques to replace this time held application.

RIP, Flash.

Interesting article about the changes of freelancing.

Freelancing has come a long way, according to LinkedIn ProFinder senior product manager Thogori Karago:

5 Design Jobs That Won’t Exist In The Future

This is certainly a good read for all those entering the industry as well as those of us who have been doing this for decades. This industry has changed so much in the last 20-30 years, but the next 10 I feel will have even more change.

And seven jobs that will grow, according to design leaders at Frog, Ideo, Artefact, Teague, and more.

Did Apple Kill JPEGs? | JPEGmini Blog

Well I have to say, this will be very interesting to see how long before Adobe can integrate this into Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. More and more I am taking photos with my phone and then manipulating them for projects. Hope this isn't something that is going to hinder that process.

RIP JPEG?

Great explanation of one of Da Vinci's most famous pieces.

Happy birthday, Leonardo da Vinci!

To celebrate, brush up on the geometric, religious and philosophical significance behind his iconic 'Vitruvian Man':

This is not OK. Any designer who works completely free is usually a hack unless it is a charity, non-profit pro-bono type of piece. But even then you should get credit.

This perpetuates a culture in which creative work goes unpaid and undervalued.

Adobe Illustrator

I try to explain this to younger people interested in going into this business. When I started in 1987, this was how I put together ads and slicks, it was right at the beginning of computers coming into play.... 30 years ago. Wow, the same age as Adobe Illustrator. Coincidence? I think not.

Ever wonder what graphic design was like before Illustrator?

I want to thank everyone who is serving or has served our wonderful country. Even through the arguments and protests to our recent election and the election process, you all have provided the freedom for us to have a peaceful transition of power. I hope all who pledge acceptance and inclusion to all will take heed to what they preach. We are one country, we are all one unified nation and we all still live in the best country in the world. God bless all of our military and God bless the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
