Easter Egg
Easter egg tutorial. If you’re a beginner at Illustrator (like myself) these instructions are not step-by-step. The author assumes you know how to to do certain things and you’ll have to play around the controls to figure out what he did exactly.

3D Lighting Effects Tutorial

Tutorial from Transfuschian.
The hardest part about this tutorial is cutting the extra lines before you apply color to your background. It took me several hours before I figured out the perspective and which lines I had to cut. Tip: select the letter [...]
Another morning well spent at work…
It only took me four tries before I got it somewhat right.

[/.] MS Launches New “Get the Facts” Campaign
Get the Facts is an attempt to promote Internet Explorer 8. It contains a chart that compares IE8 to Firefox and Chrome. Needless to say, IE 8 comes out as the clear winner, with MS suggesting it is the only browser to provide features like ‘privacy,’ ’security,’ ‘reliability.’ It even claims to have Firefox beat [...]
warning, rant ahead
I’m sorry, I usually don’t like to complain -on my blog- but I can’t hold it in any longer.
