Hey again everyone!
As promised, here is my kinetic typography project. This is a scene from the movie Reservoir Dogs and is my first crack at using Adobe After Effects. I like how it turned out but I’m going to try something completely different next time!
Cheers

I was just looking at a few of these kinetic typography shorts when I came across this one for a Streetlight Manifesto Song. Streetlight rules and I’m loving the awesome attention to detail that that went into this piece. I’m just learning Adobe After Effects for school now so I’ll have my own Kinetic Typography piece up in a few days *hopefully*.

Hey everyone out there in the design world!
Since I went the way of building my own WordPress Theme in stead of modifying an existing one, I ran into a lot of issues. This was my second time ever using WordPress so there was a pretty big learning curve.
I can however now say that I have gained some useful knowledge of the PHP coding language to go along with my HTML/CSS know-how.
I couldn’t have done it on my own though. I had some much needed help from this great series of tutorials from AMP.
Use these videos to get started and good luck to you!
So just in case anyone was looking at my blog and wondering how I achieved the fading black to white text in my navigation up at the top of this page, you are in luck! I’m going to give you the tutorial that helped me do it.
Now obviously you will need to do some tweaking to make this effect fit you application but it is really fairly simple if you have any idea how jQuery works.
Just head over to CSS Tricks for the details.

Hey everyone! I was working on a project recently where I needed a good representation of a contact lens. I tried taking some photos of a contact lens but it really just didn’t turn out how I wanted.
Luckily there was Luc! He had some great tutorials stashed and he sent them to me! They range from pure Illustrator files to Illustrator/Photoshop files to straight Photoshop. Take a look and see if this is something you might be interested in!
