Celebrating 3 Million Visits: Come Win Some Free Stuff

The Box has just surpassed 3 Million visitors, and in celebration, it’s time for some free stuff. I know I didn’t celebrate 1M or even 2M visits, but 3M in less than a year-and-a-half is a number I never expected to hit this quickly. One of my advertisers, Flashloaded, has signed on for this special occasion to offer up some free Flash Components to 3 lucky BittBox readers. Contest rules after the jump.

Dingbats Roundup: 16 Incredibly Detailed, Useful (and free) Dingbat Fonts

Now, before I start, not everyone is going to think these are all useful, so if you don’t ever use tree silhouettes, fine. But some of us do. Personally, I love dingbats because (most of the time) I convert them to vectors in Illustrator and use them as very large elements in some cases. All you have to do is use the font in Illustrator and then go to Type > Create Outlines, and Bam. You got yourself a vector to work with. Here are some dingbat fonts that I thought you might enjoy.

BittBox Brushes in the Wild

On a somewhat regular basis, I get asked to contribute my brush sets to design magazines (mainly in the UK). Here are some BittBox brushes that you can find out there in the wild:

  • Advanced Photoshop #38
  • Photoshop Creative #27
  • Computer Arts Projects #106

(I can’t seem to find a copy of CAP 106, so if anyone has seen it around in the US, please let me know.)
