Here’s a great site for links to Photoshop tutorials, free fonts, etc. Excellent resource for design and photography.

A constant state of upgrade

I seem to be taking on more freelance work (design, photo) and think it’s time to purchase a new computer. My current MacBook has an incredible 80 GB HDD <sarcasm>. In all fairness, It was a fair size when I bought it, but is nothing with new file sizes from RAW images and psd saves with layers in tact. I love technology, but keeping current is a whole new issue ($$$).

I will have to check, but think the MacBook Pro is still available with a Matte screen, perfect for post production!

Logo development

Decided it was time to develop a logo for personal work. I like to keep things simple for easy manipulation and use. This will allow me to take advantage of the design in various ways (layers, backgrounds, fades, angles etc.) and keep my image from being static. I included two instances of how I can keep the logo branded while changing appearance slightly, and an instance using as a overlay to an image.
