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.

I’m sure a lot of you, if not all of you, know how to load a Brush Library. There are 3 ways, actually, but my favorite, and quickest way is the Brush Library icon.

Illustrator: Load Brush Libraries Faster [CS3]

In the screenshot above, you can see that it takes 3 menu levels to get to the brush libraries that are grouped into folders. If you use the “Brush Library Icon” in the bottom left corner of the (any) brushes palette, you eliminate the first menu and jump strait to the libraries. Again, just a small tip, but I know from experience that it’s easy to get used to doing things the same way every time. If you can find a way to break a habit, maybe you can save a few of those precious seconds throughout your day :)
