Typography is one of the most powerful skills in a graphic designers arsenal. The power of words to create, destroy, inspire, move us to action, or stop us dead in our tracks should never be underestimated or taken for granted.Today’s showcase features more than 30 Examples of fresh eye catching typography designs from various designers.

I woke up today to find that I had the honor of being featured in an article by @KarenMcDade on Minervity.com. This is a real treat with me since I was put along side my own personal heroes like David Cousens and BrandNu! I can’t tell you how blown away I was by that when I saw it. Ultimately the article is to introduce the community to underexposed designers that use twitter and offer something of value to the design community by doing it, which was a great idea that I fully support.

This is just quick little guide of some ways you can tweet responsibly and keep your readers from Unfollowing you and encourage more people to follow you. Who knows maybe you’ll even be a leader on twitter one day!

This week’s Photoshop Creative Artist of the Week is Oksana Podrez a digital artist based out of the Ukraine.

In the next week or two I will be compiling a list of graphic designers, web designers, and digital artist that use twitter. I know that we’ve all seen list like this before, but I’m hoping to mix it up a little, in addition to listing people that I already know as designers and artist from the web, I”m letting you guys recommend who should be on the list, and nominate others or yourselves too.

Maybe some of you are as tired as I am of the same list over and over featuring the same artwork by the same people. So here you go some new fresh eye candy from you from some digital artist many of you have never seen or heard of who produce some of the most amazing digital artist in the deviant art community.

As much as I found this hard to believe its true. Of all the companies out there being hit by the recession it seems that even industry giant, Adobe Systems is not immune. Adobe will be laying off an estimated 680 staff, or 9% of its work force in an effort to reduce cost.

There are a lot of great advantages to using WordPress, but if you get to a point where you are seeing an Internal Server Error 500 every time you want to upgrade a widget, install a plugin or do anything useful, then it can be a real pain. Thankful I have a fix for you, especially if you are in a shared hosting environment like 1and1 or Godaddy.

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by David of Gwag Designs, who had come across my work via Deviant Art, you can read the full interview at http://gwagdesigns.blogspot.com

Back in the 90′s Sprite demonstrated a particular stroke of marketing genius in the development of a series of commercials, one that particularly stands out is the Voltron Sprite Hip Hop commercials.

A few weeks ago some of us in the design community were having a conversation online with Brian K. McDaniel aka BKMacdaddy. We talked about the nature of list and roundups and how you constantly see the same people and same images over and over again in these, which I felt was completely valid. as a result he generated a list of 24 designers that you probably haven’t seen on a list before. I have to admit there were a lot amazing designers on this list that I simply didn’t …

Kyle Lambert is an exceptional digital artist that specializes in Photo Realism and Digital Painting and it was my pleasure to interview him about his work.

I saw an interesting question posted on LinkedIn today and felt compelled to share it and my own view with the rest of you. The question put forward was: “Why do advertising agencies use Adobe Illustrator instead of Corel Draw?”

It is important that a graphic designer be able to not only visually communicate their thoughts and ideas to clients or employers, but also be able to do so both verbally, and on paper.

In the event that you don’t have your own computer with you or internet access, and you still haven’t manged to print your work, you still have some options for showing your work on the fly. Modern day cellphones can browse the internet and render web sites almost as well as modern day laptops.

Lady Huntress of Autumn is my latest digital painting, I’ve been working on this on and off for a good deal of the week. I’ve been working on this one for different contest. The work on this image was quite extensive, but it was fun to try some new things with it.
