Photoshop light presets for fast, fun work.

Light presets are premade combinations of lighting elements. Knoll Light Factory 3.0 ships with over 100 light presets to get you quickly started with your Adobe Photoshop or Elements design.

Load from the Preset list.

Of these 110 light presets, about 50 are new to Knoll Light Factory version 3.0. We've doubled the fun! The Photoshop light presets for Knoll Light Factory appear in a thumbnail list on the left side of the interface, called the Preset List.

You don’t need to keep the elements that load into your Preview Window. Rather, use them as a starting point for your own design.

Once the light preset is loaded, you can manipulate its elements by adding, deleting, reordering, and editing properties. As soon as you begin to modify a preset, the preset no longer exists. You are quickly on your way to creating your own custom preset!

clipper's remarks: Weekly selection ot best articles and video aboout graphic design business

Clip Source: www.graphdesign.com

Most Outrageous is Shavethepussy.com. Yes, as the name says, you have all the tools to shave a pussy and get a score to win the foam/moisturizer set. Honestly, I didn’t understand if this site was made to really promote the set or the amazing mastery of the flash design, but one thing for sure it gets noticed!!;

Most Funny is Make my logo bigger video on YouTube. How often customers obstruct us from doing our work with request of the kind: “I want my logo bigger”, “All of that white space is wasted”, “I want more colors”?. Well, it has been created a new set of tools right for this purpose.

Most Beautiful is The beauty of old maps by Design Daily. I just love vintage photos and illustrations. Period.

Most Valuable is 10 Timeless Business Tips From 10 Millionaires by Quick Sprout. From venture capital to savings, from starting a business to investing in ourselves.

Vintage Russian Advertising Posters

Never mind the quality of goods themselves, or that you could not find them in stores anyway - some advertising posters from Tzarist and Soviet Russia featured outstanding graphic design, quite prized by collectors today. Here is a collection of unique and rarely-seen posters, serving as a commentary on troubled era and a deeply surreal consumer culture in pre-revolutionary and communist Russia.

Once communists came to power, the designs (and products themselves) became increasingly atrocious and pretty tasteless. But for the brief period in the 1900s, Russian consumer culture approached the sophistication and creativity of that in Europe.

Russian traditional folk art is amply reflected in commercial posters:
