Coming Soon Adobe CS4

Adobe CS4
In an act of redundancy, Adobe announced that they will be announcing the release of yet another version of their ubiquitous design software. Adobe will be unveiling CS4 on September 23 via a series of webcasts. You can sign up for one of the webcasts here. The announcement of a new creative suit is a double edged sword for those companies who just upgraded to CS3 and are just now getting the handle on it. Still, I am rather excited to see what they’ve come up with this time around.

Introducing Sarcasm!

Snarky venom-filled bloggers around the world have been waiting patiently for the W3C to approve the <sarcasm> tag for a long time. Since it has yet to—and likely will never—happen, it’s up to us to do it ourselves. So, today I took two minutes and created my very own sarcasm CSS rule that I can slap onto any bit of text that needs to seethe. Since I’m such a generous guy I thought I’d share this bit of code with you.

Some TGIF Photoshop Goodness

Photoshop Goodness

I love seeing examples of great Photoshop work, and designfeedr is providing the goods today with samples from some of the top PS Artists/Designers in the biz, check it out. Be sure to skim all the way down to the bottom of the post to see some resources to up your game.

Speaking of upping your game, PSDTUTS just posted a list of their Favorite Photoshop Tutorial Sites.

NE Creative

I was recently turned on to this little blog, NE Creative. It’s a nice little blog by Zach Origitano over at Envoy (at least that what I deduced from 30 seconds of cyber-stalking), that focusses on the “No Coast” design community. There is some good stuff on his blog, so I recommend checking it out if you are from the area. The best part is probably the Agency and Talent Directories.

Come to think of it, I did have the opportunity to meet Zach at the Addy’s a couple of years ago when his (then) girlfriend, Heather, was working at Firespring. He’s a pretty nice guy, so say hello if you ever get a chance to meet him too.

More Andrew Jones Goodness

Once again, I will invoke the visual wizardry that emanates from Andrew Jones to spice up my drab corner of the internet. Trust me, I’m not a stalker, I simply admire the work that he does. I aspire to be as great at what I do as he is at what he does. First off is some album art Andrew did for the upcoming Soulfly album entitled Conquer coming out July 29th on Roadrunner Records.
Soulfly Conquer
This is just a snippet, so head over to the Concept Art Forum to see all of it’s glory. This artwork is just pretty enough to make me buy this album. I have Soulfly’s second album Primitive, and I like it a lot, but I haven’t gone out of my way to check out anything they’ve done since then. This’ll be a good excuse to jump back on the band wagon.
