A couple years ago I developed a website for an intriguing woman; Marsha Hankins. I Am Standing in the Light was the site and on its contact page, as I often like to do, I inserted a photo to help illustrate the page. The photo was a Photoshopped representation of a freeway sign, and more importantly to a new and exciting location.
As luck would have it, I found myself in need of another freeway sign graphic and could not find anything that would suite my purpose in the stock photography houses I prefer to frequent. There was nothing left to do but create my own.
Download and enjoy the possibilities with this layered Photoshop file.

I stumbled into a blog that had adorable guys holding chalk boards with messages to website visitors. I was so taken by it I decided to make my own. Yes, I totally ripped off their idea. I even included Tim Allen as one of the holders. If you use it shoot me a message and show me where; just for fun don’t ‘cha know!
The download is a multi layered Photoshop CS5 (ver. 12.1). Have fun with it.

My Sister Judi occasionally leans on me for help with her graphic arts projects. Today I was asked to solve her Corel Draw issues and send over a flyer that she could use to advertise her upcoming camp-out.
Corel Draw is a great program and can be a lot of fun. Judi had the file so convoluted that starting from scratch was my only option. I fired up Photoshop; waaay more fun that Corel Draw. Using a background I found online on somebody’s free backgrounds blog, the end result is nothing real special, but might help jump start your own Christmas flyer project.

I recently was engaged to create a ribbon seal commemorating a companies twenty years in business. Photoshop to the rescue. While I was at it I decided to make my layered and annotated file available to others who may need a commemorative ribbon seal, but maybe not specifically twenty years.

WordPress shortcode functions were first introduced in WordPress 2.5. Shortcodes and WordPress functions are power tools when it comes to massaging WordPress websites into shape. Instead of relying on complicated CSS and HTML, a user can simply insert a shortcode and VOILA!; save an hours worth of coding. This is the beauty of WordPress shortcodes and functions; the quick and easy path to making your blogging chores easier. The following is my private functions plugin with a potpourri of formatting functions. Feel free to download and hack (more…)
