"Plasma Light" Illustrator Tutorial

Here is a cool bright light effect that you can do in Illustrator. It's cool, but I feel it's better to just to do it in Photoshop. One thing that the tutorial doesn't tell you is you have to convert the mode from CMYK to RGB, otherwise this effect will not work. The image above is what I created, because I wanted to make sure I could do it before I shared it with you all. The tutorial is quite simple, but it was missing that color mode conversion.

Jewelry for Graphic Designers

A friend of mine shared this with me and I thought this was pretty great. It's okay to get your geek on sometimes and I think wearing jewelry that says "helvetica" or "rgb" would let your fellow colleagues know you're a fan of graphic design. On etsy there is a stored called "Plastique" which as stated on their website, "plastic jewelry with a graphic designer's touch." I think there are some great pieces like the "kern" rings and the "command z" necklace. The "command z" necklace is probably my favorite and I know everyone always wanted to have that ability to undo a situation in real life like when you're on the computer. That is is $19 and most of the jewelry are reasonably priced. You're a graphic designer and express it even further to the world by wearing what you do.
