JUNE: Design Vacation
It’s June, and in many places, people will be planning or embarking on summer vacations! When the designer goes on vacation, all design problems may be left behind at the office or studio — or, perhaps a little bit of the studio will come along. So, this issue we’re asking readers to send their best or favorite photo — taken on vacation, or during June.
Ethics in Digital Photography
As new, up-and-coming designers and photographers hit the streets in search of the perfect photo — we want to remember the responsibility each of us has in practicing ethics in photography. This piece covers the ethics and provides a huge list of digital ethics links.
Creating an Out of Bounds Photo in Photoshop
History repeats itself. A painting or photo within another has always been a popular subject with photographers, graphic artists and Photoshop artists. The “out of bounds” or “break-out” image is also one that should be tried by all Photoshop users, sooner or later.
A flood of Out-of-Bounds digital creations
As we said above, we’ve had a number of articles on Out-of-Bounds digital creations. At one point we invited readers to send in their creations or ones they’ve found. Well, this month the Publishers’ Warehouse folks have spruced up and re-posted that whopping library of digital manipulations. They’re all at the Loading Dock. They’re all at the Loading Dock.
More great color resources and apps
What’s your favorite color? What color is your car? Do you dream in color? Consciously and subconsciously, colors speak to our brains. But what are they saying? We continue our May quest for color with this next edition of Color Madness
Using ICC Profiles in Adobe Photoshop CS5
Say you have a gorgeous image in Photoshop. How likely is your printer to give you a result exactly like what you see onscreen? Rafael Concepcion explains how to use printer profiles to tell Photoshop the settings you need for the printer and paper you’re using, so you get the precise results you want.
Why You Need an Adaptive Website
We are currently in the midst of one the biggest software and hardware revolutions we’ve ever witnessed. Here, Daniel Burrus one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and business strategists says it’s time to address the mobile revolution
Facebook Advertising: Should you bother?
Here you go, on the day Facebook goes public, in one of the biggest stock market IPOs in history, we’re asking should brands bother with Facebook advertising if 44% of people say they would never click on a sponsored ad? A global survey undertaken by the independent digital marketing agency, Greenlight, reveals 30% of people ‘strongly distrust’ Facebook with their personal data whilst 44% say they would never click on Facebook sponsored ads, all of which indicates Facebook’s advertising programme has an upward struggle. It’s going to get interesting!
Evolving Artist(ry): One Man, One Tool

Stop Facebook from using YOUR pictures
Rumors are floating around that a new Facebook policy allows advertisers to use members’ pictures without permission — or that Facebook has just agreed to let a third party advertisers use all your posted pictures without your permission. This is basically not true. But Facebook does have a clause in its policy that if they start sharing your photos for ads, then it’s based on your settings. So, this Infographic walks you through the settings you’ll need to block that process. Stop Facebook from using YOUR pictures
