24 Free Mac Design Programs Last year the most successful post on this blog was 45 Best Freeware Design Programs on PC – a hand-picked list of free design programs for the PC. Now the time has come for MAC fans. The funny thing is, before starting, I thought “Well, maybe the options won’t be as prolific, since Mac has a smaller piece of the market share cake.” But I was pleasantly surprised–the scene for free design applications for Macs is as interesting as the PCs.

All Free Download Making the ‘Clean Grunge’ Blog Design « PSDFan ‘Clean Grunge’ as a Trend I’m not really sure whether ‘clean grunge’ is an official trend of web design, but in my eyes it’s definitely an important one. For me, clean grunge websites are a combination of the grungy with the functional, the messy with the ordered. The results of this are some of my favorite all time designs. Too often purely grungy websites loose out on usability, and are more works of art than they are functional websites. Similarly, clean websites often lack the creativity demonstrated in more grungy/artisitic designs. Clean Grunge designs typically exhibit similar characteristics, which I will try to capture in today’s design: Clean edges combined with messy edgesDefining, but messy outlines Grungy elements/patterns which are subtly presented.Low Opacity TexturesWashed out Color PaletteBeautiful and Handwritten Typography Strong Attention to Details Final Image This is the finished design that I’ll be showing you how to make from scratch: Images+Extras Used Step 1 Step 2

Cette fois, c’est au tour d’Illustrator d’y passer avec une cinquantaine de tutoriels de tous niveaux pour découvrir ou approfondir ses connaissances sur le logiciel de dessin vectoriel.
