BaseKit.com - Create A Site Without Being A Programmer

I have seen a few services that enable people to come up with their own sites without requiring them to be conversant in programming, and without necessitating them to touch a single line of code at all. BaseKit, however, offers a solution that is even suppler since users can create a dynamic site from a Photoshop design, adding and editing as many pages as they want. Elements can be restructured in a drag and drop fashion, and those who have a fine eye for design but who have never coded in their lives will be able to come up with something enticing indeed.

Our desktops are ruled by dinosaurs
DinosaurThink about the software you use day to day. Depending on your profession and interests, what you use will vary, but some applications tend to show up over and over again. Microsoft Word and Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop, various web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox, Skype, iTunes, and so on. When it comes to those widely used, highly established desktop applications, think about how long it’s been since they first saw the light of day. Many of them are practically ancient.

Adobe Photoshop is 20 and here is a Photoshop 1.0 demo
Adobe Photoshop turns 20 on 19th Feb 2010. The impact of Photoshop is everywhere – billboard signs, magazine covers, major motion pictures, even the logo on the coffee cup you drink out of every morning. All have likely been touched by the software. Adobe says over 90 percent of creative professionals have Photoshop on their desktops and today Photoshop is used by professional photographers, graphic designers and advertisers, as well as architects, engineers and even doctors. Back in 1987, Thomas Knoll developed a pixel imaging program called Display. It was a simple program to showcase grayscale images on a black-and-white monitor. However, after collaborating with his brother John Knoll, the two began adding features that made it possible to process digital image files. The program eventually caught the attention of industry influencers, and in 1988, Adobe made the decision to license the software, naming it Photoshop, and shipping the first version in 1990. Over its 20-year history, Photoshop has evolved significantly from a simple original display program to a popular application that has over 10 million users worldwide. Here is the team discussing the original Adobe Photoshop 1.0: And here Kevin Connor, Adobe's Vice President of Product Management, talking about how Photoshop has impacted the world:

The Naked Truth About Presselite's "Nude It" iPhone App

nudeit

Last night, Presselite sent us an email announcing every 12-year-old boy's dream: A 99-cent iPhone app that can see through clothes. Naturally, we thought it was a joke, because 1) the iPhone doesn't yet have the capacity to x-ray (they're saving that for the 3G-XXX) and 2) even if it did, there's no way Apple would approve something so perverse (at least not without offering it exclusively to the TSA as a cheap alternative to full-body airport scans). But the rest of the Internet is lauding "Nude It" it like it's kind of real. How is this possible?

Well, for one, Presselite's marketing campaign--albeit skeevy and deceptive--has been pretty smart. The whole app was inspired by a YouTube video that went viral last month, in which a bunch of twentysomethings use an imaginary iPhone app (also called "Nude It") to see through each other's clothes. The video was an elaborate spoof, obviously, but now that there's an actual "Nude It" iPhone app, it comes across as a legitimate demo. Presselite even linked to it in the press release they sent us, as proof that this app was "amazing."

Also, Presselite tells us exacty what we want to hear, legitimacy be damned. Here's the description they sent, which is the same one that appears in iTunes (emphasis mine):

Nude It is a funny Augmented Reality application for the iPhone that lets you see through clothes. Simply point your iPhone at a friend (less than 6.5 ft / 2 m from you), and using Nude It scanning technology, you will see him or her totally in the nude. Please, note that you must clearly see your friend's face on the screen to get good results.

To illustrate this point, they include two carefully Photoshopped images (above).

Tack on Apple's stamp of approval, Presselite's relatively legitimate reputation (previously, they've developed iPhone games and subway map apps), and our general human willingness to buy into things that sound too good to be true--especially if they involve nudity!--and it's no wonder "Nude It" has made such a splash.

Alas, it's all for nought. We bought and tested the app in the name of truth and justice, and we can exclusively reveal that it's a crock of sh*t. Here's how the description should read: "Simply point your iPhone at a friend or random Internet photo, and using basic AR technology, we'll superimpose a stock image of a chiseled body over his or her torso." Case in point:

Kindle Milestone: Amazon Sold More Kindle Books Than Physical Books On Xmas [Kindle]

Amazon's Kindle hit an important and startling milestone yesterday: On Christmas, the company sold more Kindle books than physical books.

Yes, this is obviously the result of everyone who got a Kindle for Christmas (lots of folks) firing it up and ordering a bunch of eBooks on a day in which most physical-book readers weren't shopping. But it's still important and impressive.

The Kindle's economics are still lousy for Amazon: The company loses money on new releases and makes only a modest amount on older titles, thus losing an estimated $1 per Kindle book.

That said, Amazon's strategy is clearly to drive "ubiquity," and based on stats like those above, it is succeeding. The more Kindle books Amazon sells, the more leverage it will have over publishers when it tries to force them to cut wholesale prices. If Amazon's Kindle momentum continues, the day publishers have to capitulate will come sooner rather than later.

And, despite publishers' cries, this is not necessarily bad for publishers: If publishers cut wholesale prices, Amazon will be able to cut retail prices. If the retail prices are cut to nominal levels—$2.99 or $3.99 per copy—sales velocity should soar. Publishers and writers will make less per unit, but the increased volume should make up a lot of the difference.

Amazon's release below.

Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Smashing-magazine-advertisement in Unveiling Photoshop Masks

Spacer in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Design is a fluid and shifting process in which layers are constantly modified and tweaked. As complexity builds, so does the need for preserving data in a flexible way. Learning non-destructive editing techniques helps you produce documents that bend along with your creativity. Photoshop Masks are the cornerstone of this process. Not only do they preserve important pixel data, but they allow for the creation of flexible interface elements as well. In this article, we’ll explore the technical aspects and creative advantages of incorporating masks into your workflow.

Title-img in Unveiling Photoshop Masks

Photoshop offers five methods of masking: Pixel Masks, Vector Masks, Quick Masks, Clipping Masks and Clipping Paths, all of which define pixel opacities without affecting the original data. Each of them has its own pros and cons, and knowing which method to use is extremely important for creating clean, flexible and properly masked layers.

Pixel Masks

Pixel masks determine opacity values based on a raster image with grayscale values that correspond pixel for pixel to the original layer. This makes them ideal for masking complex photographic imagery (e.g. the hair on a model or leaves on a tree). Pixel masks allow 100 shades of gray, which correspond directly to opacity percentages. The ability to vary opacities is unique to pixel masks, making them an invaluable tool.

While pixel masks can be easily modified, they aren’t ideal for every situation. Because of their raster format, scaling them can cause unwanted artifacts and interpolated bluriness. Smooth curves and perfect edges can also be tricky to create when painting a mask. Under such circumstances, vector masks would be preferable.

Blurry-pixel-mask in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Pixel masks should not be used when you might have to rescale.

Creation

Creating a pixel mask is as easy as selecting the layer or layer group and clicking the “Add Layer Mask” button at the bottom of the layer’s palette. A second thumbnail will be added to the layer, giving you a preview of the mask. By default, this will be entirely white. However, if you happen to have a selection active when creating the mask, the selection will be used to define the grayscale values of the mask.

Once a mask is created, it can be edited as if it were any other pixel data by clicking on the mask’s thumbnail. You can then paint in black to hide areas or white to show them. The mask can also be tweaked using adjustments and filters such as Curves, Threshold, Unsharp mask and Gaussian blur.

Painting-mask in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Painting the mask black is much like using the eraser tool. (Image Source)

View Modes

While creating a mask, there are a number of ways to view the mask data. Option + clicking on the thumbnail will display only the mask on the canvas; this is great for fine-tuning areas but doesn’t allow you to see the actual layer as you work. If you’d like to see both the mask and the layer at the same time, you can view the mask as a Ruby overlay. Simply press with the layer selected to toggle the overlay on and off. The color and opacity of the overlay can also be changed by double-clicking the mask’s thumbnail. Additionally, if you’d like to temporarily remove the mask, you can toggle it on and off by Shift + clicking on the mask’s thumbnail.

Mask-view-modes in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Turning the mask off and the overlay on can help with fine-tuning. (Image Source)

Channels

Every time a layer with a mask is selected, the mask is shown as a temporary alpha channel in the Channels palette. From here, you can save the channel for later use by dragging the channel to the “Create new channel” button at the bottom of the palette or by selecting “New Channel” from the fly-out menu. You can also change the mask’s Ruby overlay settings by double-clicking the channel’s thumbnail. Because a temporary channel becomes available whenever a masked layer is selected, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to toggle between the actual layer and its mask. Pressing Command + will select the mask and Command + 2 will bring you back to the layer data.

Temp-channel in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
A temporary channel is available whenever a layer with a mask is selected.

Vector Masks

Vector masks pick up where pixel masks fall short. By defining the mask’s shape using paths, vector masks provide a superior level of finesse and flexibility. They’re ideal for defining shapes with clean, crisp lines, such as interface elements.

Vector-mask in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Vector Masks are ideal for masking crisp-edged objects. (Image Source)

The disadvantage of vector masks is that they are unable to vary pixel opacities; they are basically either 0 or 100. For this reason, many masking jobs require a hybrid implementation. By using a vector mask to define the solid edges and a pixel mask for the more complex areas or for varying opacities, you can effectively extract objects while maximizing flexibility.

Creation

To add a vector mask to an existing layer, simply Command + Click the “Add Layer Mask” button at the bottom of the layer’s palette. If a path is currently active, the mask will be created using it. Otherwise, the mask will be empty. Paths can then be added, subtracted or modified by clicking the mask’s thumbnail.

Being able to create flexible interface elements is one of the best advantages of vector masks. Using the Shape Tool (U) set to Shape Layers allows you to quickly create a fill layer with a Vector Mask. These layers are far more flexible than a raster level and are perfect for creating buttons, rules and other elements that can be resized without interpolating data.

Vector-buttons in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
The flexibility offered by Vector Masks make them perfect for interface elements such as buttons.

View Modes

By clicking on the Vector Mask’s thumbnail in the the Layer’s palette, you can show or hide the paths saved in the mask. These paths can also be accessed from the Path’s palette, but only if the layer itself is selected. Toggling the mask on and off can be done by Shift + clicking the thumbnail.

Paths

Much like how layer masks appear in the Channels palette, a temporary work path would be displayed in the Paths palette when a layer with a vector mask is selected. You can then save the mask by dragging it to the “Create new path” button at the bottom of the palette or selecting “Save Path” from the fly-out menu. This temporary path can be accessed at any time by first selecting the Path Selection tool (A) and then pressing Enter; it can be dismissed by pressing Enter again. You can also quickly create a selection from an active path by pressing Command + Enter.

Applying

Before a vector mask can be applied to a layer it must first be rasterized by right-clicking the vector mask thumbnail and choosing Rasterize Vector Mask. If the layer already has a pixel mask, the two masks will be composited together to create a single pixel mask. It can then be applied like any other layer mask (right-clicking the thumbnail and choosing “Apply Layer Mask”).

Quick Masks

The Quick Mask mode allows you to create a selection using pixel editing tools as opposed to the primitive selection tools. This is a more logical approach to creating a complex mask with variable opacity. You can access this mode by clicking on the “Quick Mask” button in the Tools bar or by pressing Q.

Once in Quick Mask mode, you’ll no longer be editing the current layer. Instead, you’ll be editing a Ruby overlay that can be edited as if it were regular pixel data. By default, entering this mode will cover the entire canvas with a semi-transparent red color. You can then paint white to remove the overlay and black to add it back. The Quick Mask is essentially a more visual representation of a selection. Therefore, every area that you remove from the overlay is added to the selection.

Options

You can modify how the Quick Mask mode is displayed by double-clicking the “Quick Mask” button in the Tools bar. Here you can change the color and opacity of the mask as well as whether the mask color indicates masked areas or selected areas. Personally, I find painting selected areas more intuitive than painting masked areas, which is the default.

Quick-mask-options in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
The Quick Mask Options menu allows you to change the color, opacity and target of the overlay.

Saving

After creating a quick mask, you can immediately apply it to a layer by creating a layer mask or save it for later use. By selecting Selection → Save Selection, you can save your selection as a new channel or apply it to an existing channel. This allows you to come back to the selection at any time by Control + clicking the channel in the Channel’s palette or by selecting Selection → Load Selection

Clipping Masks

You’ll often run into situations in which multiple layers require the same mask. You could group the layers and mask the layer group, but that is not always ideal. Clipping masks allows for a layer simply to adopt the opacity of an underlying layer. This is extremely helpful when using adjustment layers; by clipping them to a layer, you can apply adjustments to a single layer without affecting those below it.

The easiest way to create a clipping mask is to Option + click between the two layers in the Layer’s palette when the clipping mask cursor appears. Alternatively, you could press Command + Option + G to clip a layer to the one below it. Any number of layers can be clipped to one master layer, but a clipped layer can’t be used as a clipping mask itself.

Clipping Paths

Clipping Paths are a lot like Vector Masks except that they apply to an entire document rather than a layer or layer group. They are primarily used by print designers to specify uniquely shaped objects that are imported into a page layout program. The path is imported along with the image to ensure a crisp clean edge.

To create a clipping path, first be sure that you have a path saved; having a temporary Work Path does not suffice. You must select “Save Path” from the fly-out menu in the Paths palette if your path is not saved. Then, from the fly-out menu, choose “Clipping Path.” Your document’s appearance will not change, but if you were to import the document into Illustrator using the Place command, it would be clipped to the path.

Masks Palette

The Masks palette, introduced in CS4, adds some useful features to help with creating and refining both pixel and vector masks. For the first time, you can feather a mask and change its density without losing the original mask.

Masks-palette in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
The Masks palette was a great addition to Photoshop CS4.

Create/View Buttons

At the top of the palette are two buttons that can be used to select the layer mask or vector mask or to create one if one doesn’t exist.

Density

The density slider basically controls how strong the mask is. At 100%, fully masked areas will be completely transparent. When density is set to 50%, those same areas would be only 50% transparent.

Feather

Feathering the edges of a mask used to require applying a Gaussian Blur, which would destroy the original mask shape. With the Masks palette you can now change the amount of feathering at any time while maintaining the original mask data.

With the Feather slider, you can now change the mask’s softness on the fly. (Image Source)

Mask Edge

The Mask Edge menu provides some long-desired features that aid in refining a mask’s perimeter. They come in extremely handy when the extracted object is still picking up color from the masked background.

Radius
The Radius setting is similar to feathering, but it retains some of the edge’s crispness. This can be helpful with reducing awkward or overly sharp edges on complex shapes.

Contrast
Contrast simply modifies the contrast of edge elements, which helps crispen any soft edges. Using this in conjunction with Radius can help remove unwanted artifacts in the mask.

Smooth
Smooth simplifies the complexity of the mask’s edges. This can be useful if you’ve painted the mask by hand and need to quickly clean up some rough edges.

Feather
This feather command is nearly identical to the Mask palette’s primary feather command, but it restricts the blur more to the edge of the mask. The difference is slight yet noticeable.

Contract/Expand
The Contract and Expand slider allows you to grow and shrink the edges of the mask. This is extremely useful for reducing unwanted color fringes.

Smooth-contract in Unveiling Photoshop Masks

Preview Mode
At the bottom of the palette are five different preview modes that allow you to view the mask as a (1) selection with marching ants, (2) quick mask ruby overlay, (3) black matte, (4) white matte or (5) grayscale mask.

Color Range

The Color Range menu is one of the most powerful ways to extract an image from an evenly colored background. With only a few clicks and adjustments, even the most complex object can be cleanly masked. For further details, see the “Techniques” section just below.

Techniques

Each masking job is unique and requires a different method of creation and refinement. However, some common techniques can drastically improve the efficiency and maximize the flexibility of your masks.

Color Range

When your masking task requires an object to be extracted from an evenly colored background (much like the video editing process of Chroma keying), the quickest means is often the Color Range command. First, use the Eyedropper Tool to select the primary color of the background. Then, you can use the “Add to sample” and “Remove from sample” tools to refine the color selection. The fuzziness slider lets you broaden the range of colors selected. If the color data is there to support it, this process makes short work of an otherwise tedious task.

Channels

A mask is often hiding in one of the layer’s channels, just waiting to be unlocked. Depending on the image you’re using, you may be able to find a channel with strong contrast between the target object and its surroundings. You may even want to try temporarily changing the color mode to Lab or CMYK to provide alternative channel options. Once you find a channel with a strong enough contrast, Command + click it to create a selection. Then, apply the selection as a layer mask. You’ll then be able to tweak it as you would any other mask.

As the image below demonstrates, simply selecting a channel is not always sufficient for a clean mask. You may need to do some mixing with other channels.

Channel-mixing in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
(Image Source)

  1. The original image has strong vibrant colors, making it a great opportunity to create a mask using channels.
  2. The red channel has the foreground-to-background contrast, so we’ll start there. We’ve copied and pasted it onto a new layer and then inverted it.
  3. The green cup is still very prominent, so we’ve converted the blue channel to a layer and will use it to negate the green and red cups.
  4. By setting the Blending Mode on the blue channel’s layer to Multiply, we can effectively erase any extraneous white areas.
  5. The two layers are then flattened and applied as a layer mask to the original image. This leaves us with a cleanly masked blue mug.

Pixel/Vector Hybrid

Objects will quite often have a combination of sharp edges and soft feathered edges. In instances like these, using both a pixel and a vector mask may be best. One common example of this is extracting a figure. You can use the pen tool to draw all of the smooth edges along the figure’s body and then use a pixel mask to paint in the fine details such as hair.

Multiple Masks

There may be times when you want to apply more than one mask to a layer. You could choose to apply the mask by right-clicking the layer and selecting Apply Layer Mask, after which you could apply a new mask. This, however, is not ideal because the data behind the mask will be lost.

A far better method is to create a Smart Object from the layer and mask the new layer. This allows you to apply two masks to one layer without losing data. In fact, if needed, you could repeat this process over and over.

Double-masked in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Converting a layer to a Smart Object allows you to add multiple masks without losing data.

Layer Styles

If you have ever added a mask to a layer with layer styles, things may have gotten messy, especially if the mask had soft edges or varying opacities. This is because, by default, Photoshop uses a composite of the layer’s opacity along with any masks on it to define the area used by the layer styles. This is desirable but can also be a nuisance. To counter the default behavior, open the Blending Options menu for the layer, and apply either “Layer Mask Hides Effects” or “Vector Mask Hides Effects.”

Layer-styles in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
Messes can often be tidied by using the “Layer Mask Hides Effects” option.

Blend Clipped Layers as Group

By default, Photoshop assumes that all layers in a clipping stack should be blended with the base layer before the base layer is blended with the layers below it. This makes sense sometimes, but other times you may need the clipped layers to adopt the shape of the base layer but not the blend mode. To prevent this behavior, open the Blending Options menu for the base layer (right-click the layer and choose “Blending Options”), and uncheck the “Blend Clipped Layers as Group” option. Now, each of the clipped layers will blend with underlying layers as if they weren’t clipped.

Blend-clipped in Unveiling Photoshop Masks
The “Blend Clipped Layers as Group” causes all clipped layers to blend together first and then blend with underlying layers using the base layer’s Blend Mode.

Type Masks

Grouped with the Type tool in the Tools bar is the deceptively named Type Mask tool. It allows you to create type just like the regular type tool; but once committed, the type is converted to a selection. This selection can be converted to a layer mask but will no longer be editable. This is not ideal. If editability is important, you may want to create a regular type layer and use it as the base of a clipping mask. This is the only way to mask objects to the shape of type without losing the ability to edit the text. Perhaps someday Photoshop will let us create an editable Type Mask for a layer.

Removing Edge Fringes

Even after using the “Refine Edge” command in the Masks palette, you may find random color fringes left along the edge of your mask. This is where some manual brushwork comes in handy. The Paintbrush tool can be used here, but I recommend the Healing Brush, Stamp Tool or Smudge Tool because they will blend better with the subject.

First, create a new layer and clip it to the masked layer. Then, set your tool of choice to sample all layers. You can now select your sample area and paint the fringes out; the original layer data will be preserved. Often, changing the brush’s Blend Mode will help preserve the detail of the layer.

Spacer in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Collage is the combination of pieces of diverse materials and media, such as newspaper, magazines, package labels, fabric, paint and photographs, into one composition. The term itself derives from the French “coller,” meaning “glue.” It was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso at the beginning of the 20th century, when collage became a distinct part of modern art.

Collage promises to be an important creative outlet for many years to come because it allows artists to explore and experiment with creating truly new, exciting and often unexpected results. This article showcases the pioneers of the collage movement, current trends and examples, contemporary proponents of collage and a wealth of resources. Please feel free to use the comments area to suggest other collages or artists you like.

Pioneers

Pablo Picasso

Picasso in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Early in 1912, Picasso created “Still Life with Chair Caning” (above) by attaching a piece of oilcloth with a caning pattern to an oval-shaped painting. It is said to be the first “modern” collage; however, the claim is not definitive, because George Braque was developing a technique using papier collé in the same year.

George Braque

Braque in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Georges Braque developed paper collage (papier collé) using shreds of mixed media to produce the effect of actual paint, layered on the canvas with paint later being added. He first used this technique in his 1912 painting, Fruitdish and Glass (above).

Kurt Schwitters

Schwitters in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

A collage by German Dada and surrealist artist Kurt Schwitters entitled “Das Undbild” from 1919. Schwitters was famous for his collages, called “Merz Pictures,” in which he attempted to make coherent artistic sense of the world around him using fragments of found objects.

Eduardo Paolozzi

Paolozzi in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Paolozzi is regarded as the father of pop art in Britain. This piece, “I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything” from 1947, is considered the earliest standard-bearer of pop art. It was created from different pieces of commercially printed paper stuck to a single piece of card.

Henri Matisse

Matisse in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Late in his career, Matisse began to work increasingly with cut paper. He used sheets of paper washed over with gouache colors and then cut out his shapes and stuck them together, as shown above in a collage entitled “The Snail” from 1953.

Robert Rauschenberg

Rauschenberg in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Most famous for his “Combines” series of collages (1954 to 1962), Rauschenberg extended the conventions of collage and found objects and incorporated trash and interesting urban debris, such as bottles, clocks, radios, clothing, wire and newspaper, into his work.

Richard Hamilton

Hamilton in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Created in 1956 for the catalog of an exhibition in London, “Just What Is It that Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing?” was the first work of pop art (or indeed collage) to achieve iconic status. It consists of images taken mainly from American magazines and advertisements.

Romare Bearden

Bearden in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration

Bearden truly embraced the collage technique, because the layered, fragmented form allowed him to freely combine ideas, shapes and cultural references in a modern and accessible way. “The Calabash” (above) of 1970 is perhaps his most famous collage.

Current Trends

Now let’s take a closer look at current trends and examples. As you browse through the collages in this showcase, you may notice these trends:

Vintage
Jackcatcurio in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration
The use of vintage images, advertisements and materials is perhaps the biggest trend in collages today. Many collage artists take inspiration from vintage art because of its unique style and beauty.

Mixed media
Collageaday in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration
Mixed media is simply the use of other media, such as paint, in a collage. Common media include pencil drawings, paints, pastels, charcoals and markers.

Advertising and slogans
Katsup in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration
Not surprisingly, slogans, branding and advertising play a major part in many of the collages featured here. Consumer culture has become a major force since its appearance in collages in the late 1940s.

Retro
Louisixteen in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration
Retro iconography and imagery have experienced a resurgence in collage, because their style is so distinctive from today’s culture and art.

Urban
GabriLeCabri in Get Creative With Collage: Trends and Inspiration
“Found collage” relies heavily on urban wall art, such as torn posters, ads, paint, markers and signs. It is growing in popularity, partly because of artists such as Nick Riggio, who creates urban collage paintings.

Photoshop is a magical tool for digital artists and photographers, and it rules the digital imaging world. It is not just a tool, though; Photoshop is a blank canvas that invites you to perform magic with your creativity. It gives you room to creatively manipulate photos and explore the artist in yourself.

To celebrate the upcoming holidays, in today’s post we decided to step away from technical design/coding-related topics and showcase some beautiful digital illustrations and their creators. Hopefully, the artwork will inspire you and stir your imagination.

As you know, so many more brilliant illustrations have been done by digital artists doing great work, but we cannot cover them all in a single post, so we will try to showcase them in our future posts (if you want to). If we forgot to mention the work of your favorite artist, please do share it with the other readers and let us know their name.

“Hydro74″ is the Orlando-based designer otherwise known as Joshua M.

But let’s be honest. I do what I love because I love it. Not because I have to do it, nor am forced to do it, but rather passionate about doing what I do. I firmly believe in having set style tones, yet a sense of diversity to make any various project unique to the demands that are set forth.”

Next-gen iPod touch photos supposedly leak out; Cocktail part of Apple announcement? (Updated)
No surprise that the Zune HD announcement has resulted in a flurry of iPod rumors, and there's a couple good ones going around today. Obviously the big news is a set of photos purporting to show a next-gen touch with a camera -- the sourcing and the backdrop in some of the pics make it feel like it's a publicity stunt, but the shots of the motherboard next to a current-gen touch's board seem convincing -- especially because of Apple's recent propensity to leak this sort of thing. The other piece of news? CNET says that whatever Apple does next month, the new Cocktail "next-generation album cover" will be a part of it, at least according to "multiple music industry sources." That might link into the major labels' CMX initiative, it might have something to do with iTunes 9, it might be a fun little Tom Cruise movie, or it might be nothing at all -- but it sure seems like we're in for a hell of a September.

Update: As commenter Joseph pointed out, these look pretty fake when you zoom in Photoshop -- there's a distinct square of pixels around the lens. Nice publicity stunt, guys -- we'll totally start listening to your show now.

Update 2: After seeing some high res versions of these pics, we think we can safely rule out the JPG artifacting as the tell-tale sign that these are fake. You know what we can't rule out? The really bad looking Photoshop work around the lens. Much clearer pic after the break. [Thanks for the pic, Manny]

Photoshop Contest: Design a New iTunes Icon [Photoshop Contest]

The iTunes icon is old and busted. I mean, didn't iPods kill CDs or something? And like, 7 million of the 8 million things iTunes does have nothing to do with tunes. So let's make a new icon!

Send your best design of a new icon that really represents iTunes to me at contests@gizmodo.com with "iTunes icon" in the subject line by next Tuesday morning. Save your entries as JPGs, PNGs or GIFs and use a FirstnameLastname.jpg naming convention using whatever name you want to be credited with. On Tuesday, I'll pick the three best/most awful entries as our winners and post the rest of the best in the Gallery of Champions. Get cracking, in case something comes along and slays the iPod.

Working at 37signals

It’s been several weeks since I was hired here at 37signals so I thought it might be interesting to share some of my experiences so far.

Ready, set, go!

One of the best things has been how quickly I’ve been able to jump in and start contributing. The very first project I worked on was a refresh of the Account screen in Basecamp. What started as an exercise quickly escalated to a new design that we wanted to actually put into the app. So it wasn’t long before I moved from Photoshop right into the app code to integrate the new design. This required me to build on my limited experience with Ruby on Rails, setup my computer for development, learn enough Git to be dangerous, and get a feel for application structure and conventions. None of this could have happened without the patience of my co-workers and the solid development structure/process that is in place here. Here are a few general observations:

  • The 37signals community is huge! Every change is noticed — sometimes within minutes of being launched. Receiving instant feedback to your work is great (at least so far :)
  • Git has been a surprisingly nice addition to my workflow. The ability to quickly switch branches and compare my version to the original has saved me countless hours
  • There are new things being added to the apps constantly. It’s exciting to see all of the new features and improvements every day. It can be hard to appreciate all of this activity from outside the company, but we’re working on that
  • No longer supporting Internet Explorer 6 is liberating!

In the first ten days or so I was able to design and implement a single screen redesign, get it deployed and write it all up at Signal vs. Noise. It’s pretty great to feel like you’re contributing and making a meaningful impact so quickly.

Working remotely

One of the biggest changes for me when joining the company was working 100% remotely. 37signals is based in Chicago, but half the team works outside the office — even the Chicago crew isn’t in the office every day. So it has been great to join a company that knows how to work with a widely distributed team. As you might assume, communication is the key to making the team effective and productive. Here are a few ways we stay connected:

Campfire

I have to admit that I didn’t get Campfire before I started working here. I’d been a long time user of Basecamp and Backpack, but Campfire never clicked for me despite a couple of attempts to bring it into a team workflow. What I was surprised to see is that Campfire might be the most important app that we use.

Our “All Talk” Campfire room is where the entire team gathers each day — we all stay logged-in anytime we are “at work”. Throughout the day we post questions, share screenshots, get feedback, collaborate on copy, and troubleshoot code. Campfire also talks to our apps so we get notifications when they are updated as we develop. It also serves as a way to quickly note to the team that you’re heading to lunch or will be away from the computer for a short time. But it’s not all business. We also find time to talk about the latest gadget/news/link/app/controversy and generally have a good time. Campfire is where all the typical conversations that happen in a physical office occur, but the difference here is that everyone can hear them, anyone can pay attention to what they want to, and it’s all archived so we can search through it later.

Campfire is also used along with instant messaging for the one-on-one and sidebar conversations when we want to chat, but stay out of the noise of the All Talk room. Jumping into our Small Talk room to work through a bit of code lets me work directly with a co-worker AND allows me to save a link to that conversation for future reference. This has been immeasurably helpful for me as I dig more into the tech side of our apps. Screen sharing via iChat is another great way a couple of us can quickly work together on a tricky bit of code.

In/out

Another key part of knowing and sharing what is going on with the comapny is with Backpack’s Journal screen. The journal lets everyone on the team set their current status (e.g., “Reviewing design comps”, or “Out to lunch”) and log the last few things that they have recently completed. There is no forced structure to it, we typically just update it a couple times a day as necessary. It’s a great way to get a quick snapshot of what is going on, who is working right now, and what they’re working on.

Of course we also follow project updates in Basecamp and keep an eye on external communications by checking into our Highrise account. Everything is out there for us to keep up with as we need to or want to.

Perfect balance

At 37signals I really feel more connected and current with what is going on than in any physical workplace I’ve been a part of. It is effortless to keep up with what my co-workers are doing and how what I’m doing contributes to the whole. I’m free to keep up with projects and learn new skills as they fit my interests. We collaborate how and when it makes sense, and stay away from each other when that’s the best way to work. That makes for a really effective working environment.

Version 1.0 of today’s most popular applications, a visual tour
Many of today’s most popular applications and operating systems have been around for a long time. This is a look back at version 1.0 of some of the most popular and widespread applications of today, many of them ranging all the way back to the 1980s. To keep this article from becoming the size of a novel we were extremely picky with what we included. We only included applications that are in current use and so widespread and popular that they have more or less become iconic. We also decided to focus solely on Windows and Mac OS this time (sorry, Linux people, we’ll make amends in the future). Let’s start with the first versions of Windows and Mac OS and move on to the applications from there…

What’s the buzz?

WordPress

Here’s a quick post, just to let everybody know that I’m still alive.

During my long silence here, a lot of things have been happening in the WordPress community. First and foremost is the upcoming WordPress 2.8 release. There are several nifty new features in there. The most notable (for me) are probably:

  • Built-in theme browser/installer
  • Drag-n-drop widget management
  • Syntax highlighting when using theme/plugin editor
  • Image cropping in media uploader
  • New theme functions for author metadata
  • New OOP WP_Widget framework for plugin authors
  • More support for custom taxonomies
  • New combined i18n/escaping theme functions
  • Script loading improvements

The first four  are the main “visible” features for this release. Most of the other changes are “under-the-hood” sorts of things, mainly of interest to plugin and theme developers.

In other news, today marks one full month that I’ve been working for MailChimp. I’m still getting a handle on things, but I’m starting to get a few things done, migrating some old back-end management code into the framework used by the bulk of our system.  And to bring things back around to WordPress again, I’ll give you the tantalizing teaser that MailChimp is sponsoring the development of a new WordPress plugin. I don’t want to say too much about what it is at this point, but the Photoshop mockups looked pretty cool.

As I get myself organized again (stop laughing, Susan), I will be posting this blog more. And as if my time wasn’t stretched enough already, I’m also planning to do some guest blogging for The WordPress Doctor.

We pity the fools in April
Unless you're from bizarro world, you probably realize by now that ThinkGeek enjoys fooling you all with impossible products on April Fools Day. We always try and make our ideas funny yet plausible, which tends to get us in trouble. Why? Because every year we seem to come up with something so weird and fantastic that you actually really really want it. This year it was the Tauntaun sleeping bag, an idea cooked up by Christian, the ThinkGeek designer monkey. The concept was made perfect by Hans's suggestion to make the zipper pull a lightsaber. Brilliant! To make the joke as realistic as possible, we actually had a prototype made by our uber geeky and crafy friend, Misty. Be sure to check out her blog post on how she made it. As you can see from our before and after, we had to tweak it a little in Photoshop, but Misty's prototype was amazing even before we modified it.

Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Prototype Some other fun April Fools tidbits: #1) The Squeeze bacon was actually made from frosting! We wanted something that would hold up well under photography and video conditions and not go rancid. A combo of shortening, powdered sugar, food coloring, wheat germ created the bacon-looking goo, while the bottle was from a product called 'Coco Real' which we just spray painted and labeled up. It was edible, but it wasn't bacon. #2) Our unicorn chaser was made using pink body wash and lots of glitter, and was decidedly not edible. #3) Those portal shirts took a long time to prototype well, and in our case, the cake was not only not a lie, but delicious!!

We hope you guys had as much of a blast as we did and if you haven't yet, be sure to take a gander at all of our 4/1 goodies. Also, if you are interested in actually owning a Tauntaun sleeping bag, get details here on signing up to get emailed if and when it's released.

It’s an extremely valuable option if you’re working for
