Lately WordPress has become a rather popular tool for powering websites (it’s the engine behind this one). If you’re looking to get a site build with WP but aren’t comfortable leaving Photoshop, then there are a lot of options around to help you on your way … for a few hundred dollars that is.
The latest two that I’ve come across are WPCoder and CMSThemer who both take Photoshop PSDs and build them in a matter of days into WordPress themes.
Ah the well known Patron Saints of Graphic Design: St. Anxiete, St. Concepta, St. Exacto, St. Pantone, St. Pixela, and last but not least St. Typo who we all know far too well. Step away from your photoshop document and immerse yourself in the rich and robust history of your design elders. You will be glad you did!
Maybe I live under a rock, but I just found out about this! Aviary is on a mission to make creation accessible to artists of all genres, from graphic design to audio editing. It’s basically just like creative suite.Try it out and let us know what you think.
Daytum is a home for collecting and communicating your daily data ( like potassium and caffeine consumption ). Begin tracking anything you can count and display the results immediately… or just look around and see what other members are recording.

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.
Redux is a neat site that just popped up on my radar that allows users to create interactive playlists of videos (and products – go figure) to share. The site also has a killer feature for curing boredom – Show Me Something – that randomly brings up something to view.
Ever wanted to run a design blog, social media site or gallery? Well Designerside – a growing blog, DesignBump – a neat digg-like voting site, and design|snips – a gallery of design, are all up for sale.
The sites are being auctioned at Sitepoint’s Marketplace where a lot of websites are sold, here are the links to the three auctions:
Font Shop gives away a single weight of one of their lovely fonts each month. This time its FF Chambers Sans Italic. I’m pretty sure this is an evil ploy to get to you buy their fonts, but its worth it – and its FREE! Enjoy!
I’ve been inspired by Emil Kozak since he first surfaced in the design scene back in 2006. He has a unique illustration style and always seems to do amazing things with type. His skate inspired work spans from logo design to illustration to typeface design. Hope you enjoy his work!
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.
