Content, appearance, usability & visibility are the basic web design principles & aspects which should always be kept in mind while preparing a commercial web design. Once you are over with this phase, you should search for a best domain host for registration of your website that is providing services compatible to your requirements. Usually it is included in the package provided by webhosting net companies. Apart from this, on line website building, free blogs and forums, e carts, free email accounts are also offered by these web hosting services providers. Due to increasing competition in the market more or less all of them are giving cheap web hosting services.

I create a new video tutorial today. I saw a tutorial at Veerle’s Blog on how to create pins in Illustrator. So I’d thought maybe I could create a video tutorial on how to create realistic looking pins in photoshop.
Hope you enjoy the video below…psd also provided

What will you get with the Click and Drag Graphics Package:

1. Starter Templates

These “starter templates” are simple blank templates with a few subtle “effects” that spice them up. Even though these templates are simple, they look very professional with their subtle effects.

You get starter templates for headers in 3 different sizes (650, 700, and 750 pixels wide) and each cover shape (ebook, box, cd, report, ezine, member card, etc.). With all these different variations, you’ll be getting hundreds of templates to choose from.

2. Click And Drag Objects

This module is what makes this package so easy to use and so unique. No other package offers anything like these Click & Drag objects. With these Click & Drag objects you can literally create a professional and eye catching design for your site in minutes.

You get all kinds of Click & Drag objects to choose from like:

Text – already preformatted with the proper font, size, and layer style effects. Just drag it over to your header or cover, change the text to your own product or site name, and you’re done.

Text Bars, Squares, Circles, Stars, and Corners – these are the little shapes that go behind your text to make it stand out more and give it emphasis.

Horizontal Bars – These go across your whole header or cover to divide them into portions or to give that finishing touch.

All of these objects come on their own layers and are completely customizable. So you can resize them, rotate them, change their colors, change the text to what ever text you want, etc.. You can customize them to your liking.

3. Layer Styles

Layer styles add an effect to your layers with one click. So if you want your text to look “cool”, you can add a spicy effect to it by simply clicking on one of the layer styles. Just type your text, click on the layer style button, and your text will get an effect. Max has compiled and created all of the cool text effects you can find on all of the popular designs out there.

4. eCover Action Scripts

Max has recorded the steps he took to turn 2D covers into 3D covers. So all of the distort, resize, and other commands got recorded and can be played back with just a few clicks, and turn a 2D cover into 3D in seconds.

So basically, you start with a blank template or a “starter template. You then create your own design. And finally you play the eCover action of your choice and the cover turns into 3D right before your eyes.

5. Other Templates

In addition to the Starter Templates in Module 1, you will also get templates for all kinds of other mini site graphics like order buttons, footers, backgrounds, and even simple HTML mini site templates. So you’ll be able to create all the graphics for your mini site with the packag.

6. Video Tutorials

This package comes with easy to follow, step-by-step, screen capture video tutorials. Everything is broken down for you in simple terms, so even if you’re a complete newbie you’ll be able to get started right away.

7. Graphics Swipe File

You’ll get over a hundred of Max own favorite designs that he has done for his clients (covers, headers, order buttons, footers, and backgrounds). This swipe file will save you countless hours of frustration and “being stuck” for ideas again.

8. Resources

Max will be sharing with you his favorite design related resources like:

• Where he get his stock images from.

• Where he get his fonts.

• Where he get his ideas for designs.

• A cool place to get hundreds more layer styles, patters, brushes, textures, and more.

• And much more…

This resource module will save you hours of trial and error time trying to locate all of these places on your own.

And MORE..

This is a complete design package. I highly recommend for newbies in graphics design to get this package as you can experiment with the graphics, use it in your design and plus, your clients will be impressed;)
