This morning gave me a awesome new trick in Photoshop, as i didn't know yet about Layer Comps i was suppriced that it holds your states, position and blending options of all your layers in the psd file. This means you can create different setups in one photoshop file to show off to your clients. It also means, that you can work quicker and keep it all closer less psd files which will decrease errors.  It's like version controle in Photoshop.

So go look at the great video about Layer Comps from the Lyda Photoshop top 40 series.

Just saw this cool way to find new clients through twitter, it uses the same tactic as when you styling you Facebook Profile or company page by using the space you have in the most creative way possible. View the below video for a demonstration. The idea is thought of by Bas van de Poel and Daan van Dam from Wonder Years.

Last two months i worked on a project for Speelpark de Swaan, a entertainment park that needed a full branding. I'm in charged as creative director to guide the illustrator and help the marketeer with social media and search engine optimalisation. As a webdesigner i help the illustrator to give his illustrations a change to shine. So with this came also the facebook custom profile design and Twitter offcourse (future post).

As i'm trying to figure out what my readers what to see more, are you looking for webdesign tips, social media trick, psd freebies or maby Drupal snippets? For now i wanted you to have a look at one of my rolemodels, one that i look up to when browsing the web or seeing his work in Advanced Photoshop magazine, called Nik Ainley. The colors in his work are an inspiration on his own and then i didn't even mentioned the details. Nik if your reading this, i would really like to know how long your work on a peace in average!

Just viewed this cool video reel from Claudio Salas over at Flylyf.com, a website i regular check for new inspiration on design, new products an motion graphics. A blog that every designer or gadget addict should follow.

I just read this great, clean post about the problem that came up when we starting to mix share and reference links to our social media profiles on the samepage with the same icons. The post explains very clear and has a great perspective on the topic, couldn't write it better myself. So have a look at Context by Proximity writen by Zach Dun on Build Internet!

A view months ago i discoverd the dot grid book of Behance, fell inlove right away! But it wasn't possible to order it from the Netherlands.. a bit disappointed i started looking for a download version of the dot grid. I found this free version of dot grid system by Matt. From that day sketching a mockup for clients or drawning a custom font had never been so easy!

I just came across this music movie by Kanye West called Runaway, and the man is briljant. There's just a lot of story in it and it's definitly a inspiration and a create way to spend you working break. Just have a watch and let me know what you think about music movies.
