Somebody submitted this question to my other blog (midcenturymoderndesign.tumblr.com) and I ended up writing quite a long answer, so I figured I may as well post it on here, just in case it helps anyone in anyway at all! It is a very hard question to answer really, but I tried to help and be honest. My answer is below: Hi, thanks for a tough question! I’m 25 and have been a designer professionally for about three years now, after spending four years at University. My advice would be this: You don’t have to be able to draw to be a designer per se, there are some areas of design that you can pursue where you don’t have to draw to succeed. A lot of graphic design can be done without ever getting off the computer, but you don’t want to be limited to that, and often doing things by hand (not necessarily drawing) can be enjoyable and help you work differently. I hope this helps!

I was looking through an old Print Magazine the other night, and came across some poster design that I loved. When I searched for them online I learned that Nokturnal Studio is no longer in existence, but you can still buy their posters. Now, Michael Carpenter (formerly of Nokturnal) is the artist behind Switch. Like, these beautiful save-the-dates: And these great business cards: And… a project for building studio

Achieving a Vintage Look Through Color Tones in Photoshop CS
by Guest Contributor Anna Gay Photographers are often striving for a “vintage” look in their photos, and even though there are endless ways of achieving a vintage look, there are a couple of characteristics to keep in mind. First of all, the color tones in a vintage photo often lean towards either a blue or a red hue, or a cross-processed look. Vintage photos also have an element of noise or grain that can be achieved through textures, and also a certain amount of vignetting around the edges of the photo. In this tutorial, we will look at adjusting color tones and adding vignettes. This photo is the result of adjusting the color curves, adding two vignettes, and a color fill, which we will walk through step-by-step. First, open your photo in Photoshop and make sure your foreground color is set to white in your side tool bar. You will see the above dialogue box. As you can see here, there should be three layers – your Background image, then your two gradient layers.
