Web Picks #26

thumbI love a variety of art forms, from abstract to web design to digital painting, so in this week’s Web Picks, there are a variety of posts included.

There’s some great inspirational posts for both web design and other forms of art, as well as some great tutorial roundups, one for Drupal and the other for web development, and of course, there’s some great tutorials from across the web as usual.

Stay tuned for a new post hopefully tomorrow, but after that I might not be able to post again until next week as I am headed out of the country for a quick vacation.  Thanks for reading everyone!

Web Picks #14

41This past week wasn’t all that impressive in the design world, to be honest.  It seems like some of the big design blogs might be slowing, and many of the smaller design blogs who occasionally make big contributions haven’t been as active lately.  Regardless, PresidiaCreative is still blogging regularly, so let’s get to it.

It’s time for Web Picks #13, a collection of the best of the web tutorials, inspiration and resources from the previous week.  This week features a great new tutorial by Constantin Potorac on PSDTUTS, a very high-end layout tutorial from PSDFAN, and some great roundups. 

Don’t miss out on future content, as there are several big posts that you will want to see (one coming tomorrow, hint hint).  Hope you all have a great start to your week!

Web Picks #9

134This past week was a surprisingly quiet week in the design realm.  I don’t know if this will be a growing trend for 2009, or if people are just getting swamped now that they’re back at work and school after the holiday calm.  Hopefully things pick back up this week; I know they will around here.

Regardless, I’ve gone around again and gathered up the best posts from last week in the design community.  There’s a few tutorials here, and a couple interesting articles and roundups.  The Amazing Photomanipulations is probably my favorite post of the week, so be sure to check that one out if you don’t have time to view the others.  Also, don’t forget to save a life by subscribing. :)
