A couple weeks ago, I gave out a Palin vector. I’ve been playing around with it since then, and finally have a shirt for sale. It combines the absolutely gorgeous Sarah Palin with her home state, and state motto, appropriately, “North to the future.”
I actually went to a McCain/Palin event with some friends and some shirts. The shirts were an enormous hit, and everybody and their grandmother (seriously, an elderly lady with a super old camera) wanted to get pictures. I don’t want to exaggerate, but I think we may have been more popular than McCain today.
Governor Palin was actually kind enough to autograph one for us, and we’ll be auctioning that off for charity soon. We’re still working out the details, but I’ll let you know on that one.
In any case, be a pal and pick up a Palin shirt. Photos from the rally after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
I personally have been a big fan of Threadless for quite some time now. The designs they offer are, generally speaking, more beautiful, funny, or insightful than your run of the mill t-shirt. However, this might just be about to change. You see, I’ve posted a design to Threadless, and if it does not get printed, I promise I will throw a hissy fit and never use Threadless again!
Well, maybe not for a week or so at least.
As you can see, I’ve used a ton of the our free vectors. So if you like the design and want to support the site, give us a quick vote. I’ll love you forever if you do.
No matter what you think of his politics, U.S. presidential cantidate Barack Obama has a pretty incredible marketing and design machine behind him. One strong example of this is his “O” logo. Simple, attractive, symbolic, it’s undeniably an effective logo.
Another aspect of the Obama campaign that is attractive to a lot of American’s is the grass-roots, everybody can be involved attitude that they’ve been trying quite successfully to convey. In honor of that attitude, and just in time for the Democratic Convention, I thought I would show some really helpful Illustrator techniques by making the Obama logo. In this tutorial, we’ll be going over the Pathfinder, Envelope Warps, Opacity Masks, and Gradient Meshes. And we’ll use a drop shadow!
What’s that? You don’t think we can do it? I have three words for you my friend.
Sound Foam, Wicker, Carpet, Flower Wallpaper, Paintbrush Stroke and many more!
In the pursuit to keep things fresh with our photo editing, VQ and I are trying to regularly capture new Photoshop Textures wherever we are in the world. For the next few weeks, I’ll be in England, so these textures are straight from the UK to you, with love. I hope you find them useful in your designs!
God bless you guys,
Weese
P.S.- If you’re looking for some free brick textures, download them here!
Last month was a really heavy month of work for us, and as a result you may have noticed that we weren’t posting as often. Thankfully, that’s all about to change (hopefully not the work load, just the fact that one way or the other we’ll be posting more often).
To kick things off, we have a very useful vector bird wing.
As always, let us know if you do anything neat with it. Have fun, friends.
