LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
5 Free One Page Website PSDs
One page websites have gotten really popular these days! When I got hired at my current job, I split my time between design + working production for the first year. During that time, I looked at a lot of designers’ files and it taught me sooo much. My point to saying this is – even if you’re not looking to code up a psd, just download one or two of these 5 free one page website psds and check them out. Digging into even one file could inspire and even help with learning how to design your own.
Create a Retro Text Effect in Adobe Photoshop
Happy Tuesday! In this week’s tutorial, we’ll create a retro text effect in Adobe Photoshop from scratch, inspired by the 80’s. I’m also giving away the exact style we create as an .asl file (layer style file) and in the tutorial I’ll show you how to save your own layer style and install it so you can have the exact settings that were mentioned. So it’s a 2 for one this week! Tutorial + freebie 🙂
On Tough Days…
The last couple of weeks have had their fair share of difficult moments. Most of them stem from having a broken hand and the stress of finishing up a major project at work with one hand.
Freebie: Vector Flourishes + Frame Elements
As Spence and I continue brainstorming our wedding invites, I’ve had flourishes and frame elements on the brain a lot lately. It’s so much harder (but so rewarding!) when you’re designing something for yourself! This past weekend I designed a whole set of flourishes + frames in my pursuit to exhaust every option. 🙂
My flourish extravaganza has led to this week’s freebie: a set of vector flourishes and frame elements for Illustrator, CS3 or newer.
Freebie: Hand Drawn Vector Bursts
Happy 2015! To ring in the new year freebie-style, this week’s freebie is a set of 5 unique hand drawn vector bursts. Use these on invitations, web banners, social media posts and more. I’ve found they’re perfect for creating more energy in your layouts, as well as providing a focus wherever you let the center of the burst lie. Download includes all 5 bursts as an ai and eps file for versions of Illustrator, CS3 or newer. Read on for the download link + larger preview images!

Freebie: Spooky Eyes Vectors
Happy Tuesday! Halloween is closing in! So much so that I just realized the blog has been up for a full year now (my first post was a halloween freebie!)! It’s been really awesome to have connected with so many through this blog and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings 🙂 But, back to business. This week’s freebie is a 12 piece set of spooky eyes!
Freebie: Handmade Paper Patterns
Happy Tuesday! This Tuesday is one of my favorite Tuesdays because I’m spending it with my parents (haven’t seen them since Christmas)! They made the 17 hour trek from upstate NY to help me and Spence fix up some minor things that our new home’s inspection report found. So thankful in times like these for a dad with super handyman skills who likes to drive long distances 🙂 Anyway, in honor of things created + performed by hand, I present you with two awesome handmade paper patterns this week!
Freebie: Vector Real Estate Icons
Hey friends, I’m back! Thanks so much for understanding the small break – we’re still very much in the midst of unpacking + cleaning every square inch of the apartment, but we’re here – we are officially in our house as homeowners 🙂 We couldn’t have asked for things to move smoother – we found the house within 2.5 weeks of looking and officially owned it 3 weeks later! If anyone is looking for a realtor in or around Atlanta, let me know and I’ll hook you up 😉 Anyway! With a house so much on the brain, it seemed only right to make some real estate/home themed icons!
Freebie: Flat Vector Infographics
Happy Tuesday! This week’s freebie is a set of flat vector infographic elements for all of your informing needs 🙂 The download includes the full set as an ai + eps file for versions of Adobe Illustrator, CS3 or newer.
