Designers’ plug + Episode 2
Thanks to all those who left their comments on facebook. Since everyone kind of gets the gist of what I’m doing here I will just jump into some new plugs[if you don't here is the link to the last episode + DPE-1]. This time I’ve got plug for music, cool fonts no not + dafont.com +, also where to get some cool photoshop and illustrator brushes, and some other great links.
+ MKS Design fonts
This is has been my secret nugget for getting cool fonts, I have know about this site for about 2yrs now and I’m now ready to share it with you. If you’re a true designer you know a design does not just consist of wacky fonts and some graphics *cough* dafont.com *cough*, well if you are you will love this site. These fonts where all designed by Maniackers, 95% are free and you don’t just get A-Z and 1-9 you get the entire font I mean symbols that you type here and there, that usually come up as question marks on incomplete fonts *cough* dafont.com *cough*.
+ TV on the Radio
If you are looking for some good music or just something different from what every media outlet tries to shove down your throat [I guess I'm kind of doing the same], well take a listen to., their new album REturn to cookie mountain, here is another quick link if you haven’t heard of this guys, have you wondered where all that 80’s sounding influence that has bee reaching every genre of music, well if you didn’t know its + Daft Punk + check out their album Discovery
+ Mayang
As a designer I always find ways to give my work a natural feel without it being natural, basically scanning scrunched up paper, fabric e.t.c basically trying to get textures for some of my design projects. This site does basically just that, this site has large selection of photographed images of many textures from rust - clouds, they are all free but the owner would prefer that you only download 20 images a day, so the site doesn’t crash.
+ tutorial blog
This is a cool blog that shows you how to do everything in almost all the design programs out there, that means flash, photoshop, illustrator e.t.c
+ veerle
This blog shows you how to create photoshop brushes, and other little photoshop effects, here is the link to how to create photoshop brushes + Veerle
