Best of the Web #45
Nov 16, 2009 Best of the Web
Good afternoon (or other variant based on where you are), and welcome to another edition of best of the web. This past week had a lot of photography roundups, everything from out-of-bounds style to tilt-shift photography. Also, there were two interesting tutorials on comic and cartoon style illustrations. My personal favorite post was a review of Photoshop brushes by SmashingMagazine, but of course, all the posts from past week that are included here are pretty good and definitely worth seeing.
Anyways, hope you all like, and as always, if you have any comments or suggestions for me, or want to contribute, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Have a great day!

Aug 17, 2009 Best of the Web
Hello again everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy a little rest. Today it’s Monday, so for most of us, that means back to work or school, but it also means it’s time for another best of the web from last week!
Last week had a couple really awesome inspirational roundups and artist features (and not just the ones I posted). Additionally, SixRevisions did a great blog design tutorial, and of course, Abduzeedo came through with another awesome case study, this one by the legendary Peter Jaworowski. So be sure to check all these great posts out, and then check back tomorrow because I’m gonna keep bringing you some awesome posts.
Thanks everyone, have a great start to your week, and remember, inspiration is everywhere.
