Photoshop Tutorial Collective

On starting tutorials I decided that in addition to writing my own, I should have a collection of my favorite tutorials. Therefore, I created the Photoshop Tutorial Collective! This will be where I will link to my tutorials and lots of other wonderful tutorials that I find. Also, I will add other resources such as brushes, etc.

Since I just created it today, there's not much to look at yet =P But please check back frequently as I will be updating as much as I can. I'm resolving to add at least one tutorial per week. Hopefully more!

Tutorials

I've had a lot of questions about how I create my wallpapers. I decided that I should write tutorials and post them on my website. I'm going to start with this new wallpaper I made.



The tutorial hasn't been written yet, but I'll re-post as soon as it's done.

The KitchenAid Transformation

One of the sites I work on is KitchenAidCookware.com. The person who originally designed it did a terrible job on everything from the structure to the overall aesthetics of the site.

A couple of months ago I had to change the image on the main page. I went a little overboard and changed it quite a bit. I just couldn't stand to look at it the way it was. So, while not having permission to redesign the site, I worked within the constructs of what I had. I think it turned out pretty good for what it was.

Recently I had to make some more changes to it and ended up with a whole new design. Unfortunately, I may not get to implement the design as I would have to redo the whole site to match the new look. That will be done, but probably not for awhile.

I'm posting the three versions of the home page so you can see the different phases the site went through. (Although the 2nd version is more like a version2.1 as I modified it again to incorporate some of the new look.)

You can click on each image to view it live. The first one is the original, second one is live now, third one is the new design.

Another W1K 3rd Place Entry

Here is another one of my entries on worth1000.com which received 3rd place. I wish I had more time as this image really had potential for 1st place. But as it was I barely got it entered before the deadline. Still not bad I think =) The contest itself is here.

New Site For a New Year

Kicking off the new year by launching our redesigned, new and improved FarberwareCookware.com site! A lot of work went into this site at the end of last year so it's great to see it finally go live.

Next on the list is the gigantic task of redesigning potsandpans.com. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the year.
