New Design and a Useful Link

As an aspiring graphic and web designer with no “official” training other than YouTube and co-workers, I think it’s imperative to show any one else who’s learning design on the fly this website: Method and Craft. This is an amazing site, especially for those of us who use Photoshop more than Illustrator. I know, I know, I was told so many times to learn Illustrator while at my last job as a web designer. It’s so much better…but I can’t get over my affinity for Photoshop. Anyway, if you want to learn some super helpful tricks with photoshop, watch some of these videos. You won’t be let down.

Also, here’s a new design I made that I really like. We have some super talented graphic designers here at Sattya and we’re all learning from each other. It’s exciting to be a part of a team like ours. Get ready for a Sattya re-design and great designs from our staff here at Sattya : )
