How the Hell did they do that?


Ever wonder how some crafty designer created some awesome text effect or made an insanely good background textures? How about using style sheets in InDesign or in HTML? Wait style sheets for print and virtual applications? What the hell? Or you aren't very skilled in Photoshop and you want to be, what is a person to do?

Hey there are free ways out there to learn this stuff; if you want to create a cool paper-like texture in photoshop or illustrate a real looking light bulb in Illustrator you can find it out there on the Web. There are like a million tutorial sites out there just waiting for you to take advantage of their free stuff. Tutorials are great, you can learn how to do almost anything, for free, and add more know-how to your cache of design skills.

I check these sites out still, I don't go to any specific ones but when I have some free time I hit up Google and try a couple and by mistake I learn something new.

Here are a few I looked at today, try one out and learn something new! (most are fun)
