Get into the holiday spirit with Photoshop

leave a comment »

Looking to edit your holiday photos? Try this tool out. I’m going to for sure.

I’m not an Adobe evangelist (I’m not paid to be anyway), but I’m a power user of Photoshop, so I’m kinda stoked to see them make a web version of their prolific desktop application. Try it out and let me know what you think of it!

https://www.photoshop.com/

Look for my review in the new year! Happy holidays!

Tweeting the Christmas Spirit

christmas tweets screen shot

Check out this cool site from 26digital: http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/

They are rummaging through Twitter searching for sets of keywords to determine what the general public feels about Christmas. It’s a cute social experiment and a fun design. Not sure what’s up with the 3D boxes though.

Charting Emotional Investments

leave a comment »

Check out this cool chart on the Vanguard site. It’s about emotional investing… and shows you how your returns would have been different depending on when you pulled out of the market place.

It’s a nifty idea. It would be interesting to add some gauge of the market events around different times (stock market crashes, 911 etc) to see what affected the market and some of the hype that would have affected your confidence in the market.

pprwrk studio – Cool site. Cool fonts.

quatro font

So… I’ve been keeping this site open on my desktop for days – not sure why I don’t just bookmark it, so I thought I would post it up here. I just really like this type image. The “k” is cool and it just takes me back to my old type posters from design school.

The site itself is also pretty cool too. I like the ‘basic on purpose’ style with the simple rollovers.

lovin’ tullycraft – oh we know we know we know

tullycraft every scene needs a center

So… I might be a few years behind the music scene, but I’ve been lovingĀ Tullycraft’s ‘Bored to hear your heart still breaks’. It’s so catchy and fun… so I thought I would hit up their website. Cuz you know that’s how I roll…

It’s a cute little blog with a great header. Hand crafted looking font and all the merch and albums have a great retro feel. What I super love? The LP for Every scene needs a center… oh sweet 60s/70s typography… how i love you.

I think the Wallace and Gromit one is genius!
