This is a follow-up to my Free Fading Corners post, which was apparently very well received by a lot of you. I’ve put together a fully VECTOR version of my fading corner, which means it can be manipulated freely in Illustrator or Inkscape without pixellation. But you already knew that, right? Regardless, this file will hopefully be very useful, as it achieves nearly the exact same appearance with only 2 shapes within Illustrator. See below for customization tips.
Here is a preview of the Illustrator (vector) fading corner, this is NOT the Photoshop image. This was saved directly from Illustrator.

Done in the Glass style, here are some numbers to use in a web page design. This icon pack includes the PSD file so you can customize the color, however, the text (numbers) are rasterized to prevent font issues, so if you want to change the font, just delete the text layers and insert your own. This is a simple set, I know, but hopefully someone out there has a good use for them. Have fun. If you are unable to customize, PNG’s as well as JPEG’s are included.

When Dashboard was an infant, Apple provided developers with guidelines for developing effective and useful dashboard widgets.

If you don’t know what Swift is, it’s a relatively new software by Electric Rain that specializes in rendering 3D vector animations. For the most part, Swift3D is intended to be used in conjunction with Flash, to allow you to model and animate in 3d, and import your Swift animations into the Flash environment. It works fine for that, but I think it’s even better for Illustrating in 3D. Bear with me on the lingo here. . . If you are an illustrator, and you use Illustrator, Swift3D (Currently USD $229) could be a nice investment for you to look into. A year ago this time, it was about $129, so I think the sooner you buy, the better. I’m predicting some major improvements in the next release. Swift is very versatile and supports most platforms, including Intel Macs, and they provide free updates for registered accounts.

These are some free Glass Style badges I made for everyone. I’m not 100% sure if “Badges” is the correct word, but they are intended to be used as design elements in your website or blog. Web 2.0 sites typically make their own, but for all of you who want quick access to this common design feature, I’ve included PNG and JPG images in the download as well as AI, EPS, and SVG source files. If you want to customize the files you will need a vector graphics editor such as Illustrator or Inkscape.
