Everyone Needs Inspiration, Sometimes

Whether it be for web, graphic or print design, I think everyone needs and can do with a little inspiration at some point, and there’s nothing wrong with it, is there? Normally I just like to look at the colors and shapes of other website designs, since those are my main weak points (I recommend you do the same).

I’ve composed a small list of my main inspiration sources, please feel free to check ‘em out. There’s plenty of good stuff here to go around

- Smashing Magazine

Not only does their website look great, but they also have a ‘Monday Inspiration’ feature, which has included things such as type in motion, futuristic interfaces, and everything in between. Smashing Magazine also has tons of articles on every different subject, recently they published a Photoshop tutorials article which included 3 tutorials from PhotoshopStar.

Welcome, New Visitors!

Just a quick post here, gotta say hi to the new visitors on PhotoshopStar I’ve just noticed that I’ve received quite a few extra visits today originating from del.icio.us, so, just saying hi and letting you know I’ll be adding some more content as soon as possible!

Cheers

Getting the Ball Rolling Again

Well what do we have here? Looks like PhotoshopStar has gotten a facelift! What do you all think of it? I hope the majority like it

Personally I love the new one, much more cleaner, easier to look at, more accessible, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, or comments, please leave a comment using the form below this post.

With this new design comes new hope, I’ve neglected this site for long enough, I’m going to try my hardest to bring it back. If anyone has any suggestions for tutorials, please send them to me.

Now I’ve posted this I’ve got to go and check make sure there’s no more glitches with the theme!

Next on the list of things to do… customize the ugly forum skin

What do you think of the Black?

For those of you that haven’t visited PhotoshopStar before, the background used to be a nice sky blue, but I thought I would have a change of scenery and change it to a dark gradient… what do you think?

PhotoshopStar might also be getting a complete face lift soon, so look out.

(Don’t Fear) the Filter

This is an article that I read in a Photoshop magazine/handbook that my brother bought me a few months ago. I completely agree with this article, and especially the title, don’t fear the filter!

In recent years, Photoshop filters have developed a bit of an image problem. Now, thanks to the growing sophistication of the digital arts, the time may be ripe for their rehabilitation…

PhotoshopStar v3 Launched

Hey! Well, this is the new look of PhotoshopStar

I’ve been working a lot lately on redoing some of the old content, trying to write new content, and tweaking the new design.

I’ll hopefully be releasing some new content within the next few weeks, so look forward to it!
