Photoshop Tutorials

404 Pages are a great place to highlight your tallent. Leats face it most people get there by mistake so why not entertain them.

Pick of the month:

This is not a working example, since the site isn’t using the page as a working 404 error page. Nevertheless it’s quite funny: the characters are talking, and as you might suggest, they are talking about 404 errors! Click to see in Action.

This person is really sorry you found their 404 page. See it here

Renet-web.met offers recent posts and a search box.

A couple of other interesting ideas.

Have fun with your 404 pages

Hi Guys,

I’ve been going over the feedback and there were requests for more video tutorials for Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Photoshop Elements, etc.. So I’ve added a new section to this blog called “Tutorials”. I’ll be adding all kinds of videos to this section on everything design related. Some will be created by me, and some by other designers.

I have some for you today. I didn’t create these myself, but I did have to do some “digging” to find quality tutorials online. Here is a first batch for you, enjoy….

I have been teaching some of my students Photoshop in a live web conferencing system so thought I would share it.

Learn the secrets of how small businesses are “communicating with clients and each other” for a fraction of the cost corporate giants are paying with VOIP Web Conferencing.

Online Web Conferencing has always been available to the large corporate sites and techies. Now you can use this brand new software to run your own web conferencing and even generate residual income just like the professionals with no knowledge of programming required.

VOIP or Voice Over Inernet Protocol is becoming one of the fastest growing technologies on the internet today. You can talk with a business associate, friend or family member anywhere in the world.

While fractals are not actually anything to do with Photoshop when you know they are the product of a mathamatical equation then this one is absolutely beautiful.

A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,” a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.”

A fractal often has the following features:

* It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.
* It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language.
* It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically).
* It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curves such as the Hilbert curve).
* It has a simple and recursive definition.

Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes. However, not all self-similar objects are fractals—for example, the real line (a straight Euclidean line) is formally self-similar but fails to have other fractal characteristics.
