Professional Photoshop Patterns you CAN’T be Missing
If you use Photoshop to create some catching graphics, whether it is for a website or for a corporate logo or banner, I bet you know the value of good, professionally made patterns. Photoshop patterns are commonly used to create backgrounds; and a properly chosen background can form the reliable basement for the whole project.

Typography Poster Design Inspiration
You may ask yourself before designing a poster how should it looks like, what do you have to point out and how to arrange your text. First. think for what do you want to design the poster, think about the category, services and what does the company / event etc, wants to point out. For example a poster for a new cinema in your town should be movies related and point out that there is a new cinema. Should attract people’s eye so they read that they have a new cinema in their town and go to the premier free movie. I took this example because it’s really easy to think at. What should you point out is the typography that let’s people know about the cinema, so that’s the first and most important step.

I’d lay odds that most people, including myself, just use Google Image Search when they need to find an image. However, there might be instances when you want to use another tool — perhaps you’re a language teacher searching for just the right clip art or photography to illustrate a verb, maybe you have very young students and are concerned about what they might find on Google, possibly you’re particularly teaching about copyright issues, or you want your students to easily connect an image to a writing exercise and have them send an E-Card. (Google has recently added an option in their advanced image search feature — go to the bottom left under “license” and choose “labeled for reuse”)

Elements of Great Web Design: The Polish
When I put together designs, I usually do so in two phases - Layout and Polish. During the layout phase, I place the main objects on the page usually finishing with something that looks relatively complete. In the second stage - the Polish - I go over the design and adjust colors, type treatments, shadows, layers, and generally clean it all up. In this first of a series of tutorials on web design, we'll be looking at the Polish.
