This is a complete rip off from PSDTuts.

But here’s a nice list of articles that are a must read if you haven’t already been through them.

My favorites include a super cool lighting effects Tutorial by Fabio and a really cool Filter Free art tutorial.
Even if you don’t go through all the others, I strongly recommend taking a look at these two.

Of course, getting your hands on a couple of free vectors and textures is always a good thing.

Enjoy!

Digital Arts a Brit magazine did an article on the upcoming designers of 2008.

It has small interviews and their work. Here it is for those interested.

Some of these guys are extremely talented, some even come with an awesome client list. A must read in my opinion.

I’m hoping that either by the end of this year or the beginning of 2009, I’ll also be someone who can compete with these designers and have no doubts in my mind.

I know, I know the key to success is not doubting yourself, but with so much talent out there it’s kinda hard not to.
Props to these guys for making it to where they are.

So we (two friends [Aayush Iyer & Saurabh Thakur] and myself) won the Indian selections for Web Design International Festival.

This Festival is held in France and guess what? We’re off to France in April for the Finals!

For those who’re interested, our entry for the competition can be seen here : http://www.chickenscratch.in

All comments on the site are most welcome.

I’ve been too preoccupied to post anything good here for a while, but if you check back regularly enough I’m sure I should be able to pleasantly surprise you all with some interesting stuff.

In the mean time, I’m off to practice French and maybe work on design aesthetics or something.
