While browsing through the web and converstating with others, a lot of interesting sites and resources are given and found, and every week I’m going to share some of my findings to you. Well, I try to do it weekly, but sometimes I’m on a holiday trip and not able to post or find something interesting. The first Item of the Week is the harmony sketchtool, which is an online basis sketchtool. It has a wonderful feeling and I’m showing you just the basics today.
Some weeks ago a post was added showing some beautifull old paper textures, with music notes, stains and other details on it. You can find this post here. Out of these textures, which were shot by m-sign.nl, 41 brushes were made. These are from low to high-resolution, and free to use personally as well commercially. The brushes are .abr, which means they can be used in Photoshop.
I have several friends where I design posters and brochures for. However, most artwork is on my computer and needs to be printed out. The last time I designed a poster my client was asking where it could be printed, since I mostly only stick to the designing part. Travelling over the web reveals a great amount of online printing companies, and I came into contact with a particular one: nextdayflyers.com. In this post I’ll review this printing company. M-Sign.nl is starting to review!
Some years ago I got a present from my neighbours: some old psalm and songbooks. At that moment, they were only usable for begin in the museum or as a decorative item in my room. However, these books have some excellent old paper surfaces which provided some pretty neat old paper textures. Here on this post, 47 textures from old paper and psalmbooks, shot with my camera.
This year I was in a church service, and I brought my camera with me. The perfect opportunity to take some pictures from the old dutch bible: 11 free to use stock photo’s of this old bible can be found in here…
In this post you can findold map brushes, made by m-sign.nl. They are free to download, and this category might be updated regularly with new brushes. The brushes are available for Photoshop: they are in .abr format.
Finally, another post. I had really busy days with schools, but now the holidays started. In this post you can find an overview of wallpapers made by m-sign.nl. This post will be regularly updated as new wallpapers find it way to m-sign.nl. Not all resolutions are available for each wallpaper, but we strive to deliver as many as possible!
Although the city I live in is not the most entertaining city in the world, it has enough spots to obtain textures. This resulted in the outside texture pack which contains several textures which were shot around the house. Take a look inside and download the outside texture pack!
Visiting a marine ship always reveals interesting patterns. And if you have you camera with you, it is an easy way to obtain some technical and naval oriented textures. Discover some excellent naval textures inside this post…
What is a sprite? A CSS-Sprite is a single image which containt multiple images and is used and placed using css on such a manner that you use each image in it. Ok, this sounds a little bit vague (a more detailed description can be found on: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites/), but a css sprite helps to limit your http-requests. In other words, it is used for optimizing your website loading times. It reduces your loading times. This is especially important when having a very big site with many visitors. However, it is also interesting to learn this technique for own purposes.
