Are you totally frustrated with an Adobe product? Hate the way InDesign files seem to not be reverse compatible? Is Photoshop just pissing you off? Well then let Adobe know! Visit http://dearadobe.com and sound off! This site has received quite a bit of attention this past few weeks – even to the point that Adobe is listening! (maybe they will take some of our suggestions to heart!!!)
Another nice feature of the site is that you can agree, disagree or tag something as inaccurate. Props to Erick Frick and Adam Meisel for making this site!

Unbelievably 2009 is just a matter of months away. So since 2008 is already so yesterday, perhaps it’s time to get your room/office/wall-of-choice ready for the new year with a huge screen-printed calendar courtesy of JustGoneSix, a UK Based design shop from SampsonMay.
Fleet Street Scandal is the storefront of two ridiculously talented artists – Chris Turnham and Kevin Dart. It’s mostly prints, but they have a couple of tees and a book. My personal favourite has to be the retro, movie poster prints that remind of me 007.
So I was particularly pleased when Kevin put up an animation that shows his illustration process to make The Secret Agent Girls of Danger Cove, watch the animation after the jump.
