Ear­lier today I was search­ing the ‘Net for some graphic design related web sites. Not only was my ven­ture a suc­cess­ful one, but one in which I’ll share with you the links I’ve added to my Favorites list.

Also, of note­wor­thy men­tion — tomor­row (Fri­day the 14^th) is Valen­tines Day and Abe Lincoln’s birth­day. So, party hardy!

Tomor­row I’m going to a nice din­ner and to the movie, “How to lose a Guy in 10 Days”. Maybe it will be a con­tender for the Male’s Top 3 Chick Flick Awards? So far My Big Fat Greek Wed­ding is in the lead!

Link­ages

Chuck Greens’ Jumpola is a wealth of valu­able design infor­ma­tion. Every­thing from help­ful design tips to illus­tra­tions, it’s a plethora of great resources offered on one site! I rec­om­mend this to Begin­ner and Advanced design­ers alike.

Color Schemer is a site that offers a color-wheel design sys­tem. Sim­ply choose a color from the web-safe palette and instan­ta­neously emerges new schemes based on your color. Awe­some util­ity. Comes in two fla­vors; Online and Shareware.

istockphoto.com and Morgue File are two won­der­ful royalty-photo resources. While istock does offer free down­loads based on a credit basis, Morgue File is free for all (for the time being any­ways). Both great sites for the graphic artist in need of turn­ing sta­tic pho­tos of pink flamin­gos into breath­tak­ing pieces of dig­i­tal inspiration.

Designs by Mark is well, designs by Mark! Self-explanatory, huh? Actu­ally, this dig­i­tal artist presents a great data­base of Pho­to­shop tuto­ri­als and resources galore. He even has updated the site with a ‘How-To’ Valen­tines Day card for the ladies (or lady).
