A while ago I started the BittBox User Showcase group on Flickr. Since then, the group has grown to well over 200 members and more than 300 images of what BittBox users are designing. The images you see below are designs by some of those users. I wanted to take a minute and highlight some of the great work done by all of YOU. Believe me, choosing only a few was no easy task. All of the images/designs in the showcase group have their own audience, as well as purpose. Take a look below at some of the latest designs by fellow BittBox users, and maybe stop by the User Showcase Group if you want to browse all of the images/designs. Great work everyone!
P.S. New site design coming soon!
Making a dotted line is easy in Illustrator. You just change it in the stroke palette. Photoshop, on the other hand, is a bit trickier. There is more than one way, but I want to show you how to quickly make a dotted line in Photoshop. Ever make a Photoshop mock-up of a website design before getting down and dirty with the code? This little trick may come in handy.
Hi all, just wanted to inform everyone that I’ve just moved to a new server, and I’m trying to iron out a few minor email problems. If you’ve been unable to reach me via email, I apologize and I’m working vigorously to get the problem fixed.
More freebies and tuts coming very soon!

I normally don’t write posts for a single font, but when I laid eyes on this treasure of a typeface (Bleeding Cowboys, by Gyom.Typo (Last Soundtrack)) I just couldn’t help myself. I wanted to share it with everyone right away. Have a look for yourself. Everyone has their opinions, but for those of you that can find a use for this terrifically themed and textured typeface, I think you will like what you see.
If you are a Mac user and don’t want to fork over a ton of money for Photoshop CS3, I have some good news. Pixelmator (unreleased) is a true Mac OS X image editing software due out for public beta at the end of July. The software features an unbelievable UI (probably influenced by the HUD in Aperture from the looks of it) and is set to be priced at a mere $59 US! My source for the pricing and public beta release is an interview with the 2 developers [Salius and Aidas Dailide] behind the project over at wphj blog.
I haven’t released a vector set in a while so I decided to change that tonite. This is a set of free foliage vectors I made in Illustrator. They are available in AI, EPS and SVG formats, so hopefully they will be useful to a good many of you. Add them to your toolbox and show us what you make (if you want) at the Bittbox user showcase on Flickr. I hope you like them, enjoy.
There is no triangle tool in Illustrator, which to this day, boggles my mind (wtf Adobe?). I have memories of the times when I first started using Illustrator and really tried to get to know the program in depth. This was one of the things that frustrated me regularly (making a perfect, equilateral triangle) until I finally figured out a simple solution. If you use Adobe Illustrator on a regular basis, chances are you might need to create an equilateral triangle every once in a while. This may seem like a simple task, and it is, but not as easy as it should be. I’ll show you how to easily make a perfect triangle path in Illustrator, and hopefully, you will have one less vector headache to deal with in the future.
