Sometimes you just need a good, simple, flat pattern in Photoshop. A plain ol’ grid, ot something to give the design a bit of textural “oomph” but without the cheesiness of a full-on seamless photo. Presenting Flatterns, pixely patterns I made just for you.
You can load them in Photoshop by adding a Pattern Overlay style to a layer, then clicking the pattern button, then in the menu options (behind the little corner arrow in a circle) choosing Load Pattern.
I may add new patterns as I think of them; I’ll keep you posted. Hope you like ‘em and use ‘em!

Polishing a turd: The ‘new’ Google logo
Google have made some very minor modifications to their logo. Brand New sum it up perfectly:
…the new logo seems better because the old one was just so much worse, despite it being the exact same thing

Feel free to read this in any order you like. Or if you’re lazy, I mean busy, just read some of it. But keep this link around, because you never know…
How Comic Books Can Make You a Better Designer
If you’re not seeing how comic books could possibly relate to “real” design, consider this: A website is meant to convey a message, just as a comic book tells a story. While it’s not showing your audience frame by frame what happened in a fight between Wolverine and the Incredible Hulk, your design should be just as engaging.
