Adobe Creative Suite Toolbar Shortcut Wallpapers [Exclusive] Designers can work hours into the night to produce their best work for clients, their portfolio or their pet projects. To make the process easier, most would use shortcut keys on their regular design and development tools particularly Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash, to expediate the process. You can be sure that they are not going to go back to the traditional (and slower) click-and-search methods. That is why you can find tons of cheatsheets on the Web, designed to help designers and developers make better use of their time – in producing their masterpieces, not looking through the rows and rows of commands for the right action. In light of this, we thought that it would be nice to round up these shortcuts and release them as wallpapers for our designer readers. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Flash. Photoshop Wallpaper available in: 1024×768, 1024×1024 (iPad), 1280×800, 1280×1024, 1440×900, 1680×1050, 1920×1200 and 2560×1440.

Over 100 Free Mockup Templates for Brand and Graphic Designers PSD Mockup Designs Boost Your Productivity For most designers, the effort of creating great work comes in the form of working in 2D for hours or days within Photoshop. Brand designs for beverage cans, books, cereal, brochures and even software are painstakingly crafted with excruciating detail. And when the 2D design is done the effort for the presentation kicks in. In the past these 2D designs would get printed and laminated on heavy stock paper and presented to the client or your peers.

swissmiss Logo et professionnalisme : poser les bonnes questions à son client Ça faisait un petit moment que je n’étais pas allé jeter un coup d’œil du coté du crowdsourcing, et à plus forte raison du coté de chez nos amis de chez Wilogo, jusqu’à ce que soit porté à ma connaissance un screenshot reflétant le sérieux et le professionnalisme de ce genre de plateformes. Admirez, des perles pareilles ça force le respect Tout y est : l’amateurisme à un dégré jamais atteint, le kikoolol qui s’énerve au milieu, la petite blagounette trop mdr, toutes les questions qui reposent sur la forme au lieu de reposer sur le fond (informations sur l’entreprise et les objectifs à atteindre), le client bien condescendant, le travail pour la gloire, pour finir sur une apothéose avec le dernier commentaire du client. Et on constate que dans ce flou le plus total, il y’a déjà 96 propositions réalisée, c’est dire le haut niveau qualitatif qu’elles doivent atteindre Envoyer un mail : 0€Commander 100 logos à 50 graphistes : 800€ (d’ailleurs c’est même plus bon marché leur truc !!)
