lol, quick to throw out that computers and whatever don't make you a graphic designer, I never said that. Don't know how that started. Computer is just one of the tools. Having a hammer doesn't make me a carpenter, but I can build things, and if I build one thing really well, someone sees it...

I get asked this all the time from my family members, friends, and my significant others' friends. They all get irritated when I say I solve problems. But that is basically what I do, along with some creation. I like to compare myself to an engineer. Anyway, I wrote this article on what does...

Hey Gang, I know the flat metro look is very popular right now. I have been gathering links of icons since we have been working on a new web design, and I put some of them together along with downloads here: http://brandonaldred.com/?p=584 if you are interested. Also cool to see the color...

Sorry, I should have included pics of the individual print ads. The print ads were sections of this so you would only see a car or 2 and a person. If all the print ads were ripped out and butted up next to eachother it would make this overall poster that we are giving away.

We recently ran a series of print ads that I had to combine and make into a poster that we are going to give out to customers. What do you guys think of the layout/design? http://brandonaldred.com/?p=564 I went and got all photos/edited/cutout and made this whole thing myself. Been getting...

32MB of RAM? Um...I don't want to burst your bubble, but I haven't had anything that low since 93'.

Pat, any reason you don't use any business ones? Just haven't found any you like?

any of you used Producteev or Jiffy? I recently got Jiffy and find it pretty handy. Curious as to what you think or use for product management and things like that. You can check em out here. http://wp.me/p3mexJ-8Q

Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about incorporating the Lightbox into the portfolio page. The reason it still takes you to another page is because I plan on adding write ups for each project. I also want to show the steps along the way to creating that project. My project...

Well, I've been in the process of updating my web home and merging things. Some of you know I had The Design Chimp and was trying to do tutorials. I had server issues, crashing and losing posts so starting all over again. However this time, I have it all in one location. The main site is...

Actually, some of these places are legit. They are most likely from alibaba. The biggest heads up that it would be a rip off product is when you buy something that is name brand. They often use the name brand photos, but produce a product that is similar, cheaper, and only somewhat...

You don't necessarily have to "eat the mail", but if it was on your hands and you're not an avid hand washer and you go to eat something. It doesn't take much. Sometimes even such a small amount just being inhaled, sort of like Scopolopamine.

http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&txt=satin&w=1&x=-582&y=-219 Free stock photography. This effect really is easy to achieve with just brushes in photoshop.

What I did recently of an old pic of my grandpa that had passed away was took the small image, and used a scanner to scan it at the highest resolution. When I turned it to 300 DPI, it went from the small dimensions to bigger dimensions and still looked alright when printed. Printed it - was...

do you ever need to create an even grid on your art board? I've been using this extension for a while now, but someone recently saw me use it, asked what it was and when I told them, they thought I should share it with everyone. It's called GuideGuide. It's for Photoshop, but it's an...

Thinksigns, I saw that deal and I almost got it, I just couldn't justify spending money on something like that as much as I wanted to lol. I don't use the speaker on my phone, I use my headphones.

I made this phone stand to listen to music during the day while I'm working on the computer. http://brandonaldred.com/?p=80

I also just shared this on my Facebook, as I know some sign people and other designers that aren't part of the Signs 101 community.

Gino, your points are valid, but in the examples of street signs, or ADA signs, it's based off the shapes and colors. These are more elementary than reading text. A stop sign is a big red octagon, yes it has text, but it's the shape/color combo that makes it what it is. A fire truck is a big...
