Request: Halloween Freebie Pack

September 28, 2011 5 Comments

I have been getting TONS of great requests for tutorials and freebies. Thanks so much for the ideas and feedback!! This was one of my requests:

holiday related items to add to your blog each holiday to not change the blog completely but make it look festive-:)

So this morning I whipped up a cute halloween pack. It includes a bunting candy corn flags, a pumpkin, a Jack-O-Lantern, 3 individual Candy Corns, and a “Happy Halloween” Button. These are PNG files with transparent backgrounds, so I would be easy to layer over a header, or just use the “Happy Halloween” button. To Download, click on the image below, and click on “Free Download” next to the price. You do not need to register.

Thanks for the requests, keep them coming! Make a Request Here.

Adobe Illustrator Tip: Easy way to find a Complementary Color

March 22, 2011 3 Comments

When I am designing, sometimes I have a hard time thinking outside of the box when it comes to color… It is easy to pick a color, but it gets harder to build on to that with complementing colors. I wanted to post this tip, because it is a super easy way to come up with a color scheme with little effort. Step 1: Select the object that you want to change colors. Step 2: Select Your Eyedropper Tool Step 3: Withe the eyedropper tool, click on the color that you want to complement. Step 4: Click on the Menu Bar, on your "color" palette, and click on "invert". Now you will see the color that it picked. Step 5: Now if you don't like that color, or if you want to try another one, go back to your original color and do the same thing, except, select "complement" instead. I liked this color for my background :)
