I’ve got another free font to release to the public. I call this one Baja California. The premium version is still being developed, but I thought I’d go ahead and release the demo since it’s far enough along to do so. The demo version contains the entire alphabet, upper and lowercase. Hope everyone likes it!

This weeks texture pack focuses on another one of the more popular textures out there: rocks. Rock textures are plentiful on the internet (as well as real life) so they regularly show up in web and graphic designs. Hopefully you get some good use out of them, Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a good weekend, how about starting off the week with some free icons! My friends over at Artua Design Studio have graciously handed over a super cool icon set for me to give away. As you can see the icon set has a Wall·E theme, and contains 8 super detailed icons. Icons include Media Player, My Applications, My Computer, My Documents, Network, Recycle Bin (empty), Recycle Bin (full), and Search. You can download both PNG’s and ICO formats, enjoy! [Thanks Sergio]
I’ve got a some killer free stuff this week folks! Up for grabs are 3 copies of the Flash Eff Premium Flash Component from Jumpeye. What is the Flash Eff Component? Only the most kick-ass animation tool you’ll ever need. It runs in CS3 or Higher (because it requires AS 3.0) and you can literally make killer animations like the one below in SECONDS. The hardest part is choosing which one of the dozens of different transitions to use.

Oh, and Flash Eff isn’t just for text. There are lots of patterns for images and movieclips as well. Check out the Patterns Showcase here »
During the first few weeks of Texture Tuesday I’d like to cover some of the more common textures out there. For this weeks post I decided to shoot a few rust textures. While rust may not be common in all places (I’m talking to you Floridians), where I live it seems like the oxidation of metal moves at warp speed. I guess that just makes for more textures, right?

This is a very simple Photoshop tip about creating Arrow shapes super fast and easily. This isn’t the only way to do it, but could come in handy for bloggers and tutorial writers. Have a look and see what you think :)
