Tips & Tutorials



From Jacci Howard Bear, your Guide to Desktop Publishing
At the end of the A Star for Every State blog post from this past Sunday I've posed a question about star-shaped cropping of photos (or other unusual shapes). Should you or shouldn't you? Cheesy or creative? Sound off.

What Are You Working On?
I recently ran across this site that is something of a cross between a Twitter and a Portfolio or Photo-sharing site. It's an interesting way of showing off bits and pieces of your current projects and works-in-progress.

Show Off Your Business Card
The two most recent submissions of business cards are a square with rounded corners created in Adobe Illustrator and a portrait style card that's colorful but not cluttered. How 'bout you show us yours?

Using a Camera Phone for Work
Do you? If so, in what way? Share your tips and ideas on using a camera phone in design work. Perhaps one of these creative ways of using a digital camera will give you ideas.

Become a Facebook Fan
While blog posts from the site are crossposted to my About.com Desktop Publishing Facebook page, you'll also encounter occasional extra posts and links on topics I find interesting -- usually with at least some (or a lot of) design or desktop publishing relevance. Become a fan and feel free to comment on any post. You can even post questions or your own links. Have a design-related Web site or blog? Share the link and a little info.
