hello i just thought i share a terrific blog I follow in the graphic design business

Justcreative.com by Justin Cass is very informative blog   with design tips and information about whats going on in the design business. He also provides from other websites and blog that are also informative and helpful.

This is how we alter ourselves for the public.

I guess Photoshop is not the only way to change the way we look! What do you guys think?

To me yes it’s a great idea, like the author said, to start a discussion about the sad things that are happening to women and girls because of all the ads in the magazines but at the same time its very controversial because you’re going to have huge celebrities on the cover of a magazine with a “Natural Beauty” header for example, and than on the bottom of the page you will have a statement saying that the picture has been photoshoped. This will create a lot of arguments. To me it’s more of a parents/guardians or any family members job to talk to the youngins about issues like that. Photo editing is someone else’s job and it should’t be restricted like that.

What do you think about this? Read the article and share!

I enjoy looking at different design websites for inspiration & information.
Here is a look at some of the sites I enjoy. They cover a diverse range of topics, from web design to fashion, but maybe there’s something in here you will like.

Does anyone else have some websites that they use for design inspiration?

In one of my other classes my profesor introduced us to this website and these great products by Wacom. I never knew about them until now, felt like sharing it with you guys. They are very pricey but definitely something to consider for future.
