Some people are just too crazy about apple products nowadays. Well, if you're gonna be that crazy, then you might as well get the right protection for your precious and latest iPhone right? There are times when regular cases won't cut it anymore. Each one of us is unique, therefore our cases should be too. But don't worry too much about that because here's where customized iPhone 5 case comes

Free denim cloud cliparts for your design project. And little raindrops clipart to complete the cloudy weather effect. It's so cute and I just want to share with all of you. I hope you find it useful for your project. Sometimes I just love the domestic feeling of denim is graphic design. And that brown stitch makes it more real. Below is the preview image. Original clipart size will be 2 times

Hi everyone! I apologize for the lack of update recently. I've been a little busy with my "new project". I guess it's time to share it with all of you here. *Drumroll* I've officialy opened my very own Etsy store. If you've never heard of Etsy, try googling it sometimes. It's a fun and colorful place to buy something nice. Now, I'm gonna give you a sneak peak of my Etsy store. It's called

Lately I've been experimenting with some techniques to turn my doodle into a believable Photoshop brushes. This may not be the most perfect way but I'm still learning (And people did say that nothing is perfect). Let's just hope it'll get better in the future. So, for those who like to scribble random stuffs instead of listening to your teacher mumbling about ancient history, algebra or things

Here is my response to the calling that says, "Pick a photo, apply a vintage effect and write something in Helvetica". Although I don't think I have Helvetica in my computer right now, so I'm just gonna go ahead and pick other appropriate fonts to complete this fun mission. Now the question is, what kind of vintage effect to apply to these photos. After multiple trial and error, I managed to come

Another update post today. It's nothing big, just some floral brushes I did earlier this week. They are from my doodles. I kind of love doodling now. You'll never know what to expect. Just take out a piece of paper and start drawing. You can use these brushes as decoration in your design. You know, just put them randomly in your scrapbook, greeting cards or something. I include the colored PNG

I saw this text effect the other day on a poster design and I really like it. This engraved text effect can be so cool especially if you couple it with the right font. So, I decided to write a tutorial here on how to create this engraved text effect or you can call it a carved text effect. It looks like the words are carved or engraved on the wood, rock or whatever texture you decide to use. This

Let's kick off this week with a new set of photoshop brush. This set contains 7 frame brushes made from my sketch. It's a set of doodle frame brushes. You can use it in your digital scrapbook project, greeting card, poster or whatever..just to add some human touch in your design. And because I love to color stuffs in Photoshop, I also add the clipart version of these brushes. It's in transparent

I'll say that 2012 is all about creation. (Well, some may predict it's the end of the world, but let's put that aside for now). I'm planning to create artwork, brushes, greeting cards..etc. In short, they are all stuffs that you can download...until I run out of creative juice (again). For this purpose, I have invented a new section in this blog, I'd like to call DreamBig Design. The name is

This is a compilation of printable birthday cards I designed last week. For some reason, I was in the mood to create something. Maybe it's the new year spirit. These cards were created using some cool vectors I found on the web. Credit to arsgrafik, dezignation, Birdhaus Design, designious, allfreevectors and coolvectors for the amazing vector resources. The cards are free for personal use and I

This is another New Year Card for you to download. If you want to print it out, I recommend you to download the PDF file because it's in high resolution with 300 dpi (dots per inch). The preview image is meant for web viewing only and might appear pixelated if you print it out. This is just a quick design I cooked up using the cloud vector from Vecteezy. The bird is something I already have in

I guess it's still not too late to post a new year card. I found this amazing sketched pattern and wanted to do something with it. Since we're about to celebrate another reset of Gregorian calendar, it's only natural to design a greeting card for it. By the way, the quote on the card is not mine. Just found it on the web and thought it will be perfect for this occasion. To all my readers, we may

Happy holiday everyone. If it's not holiday in your place then I hope you're having a nice day. We are about to leave behind yet another year. So, all missions accomplished this year? I'd like to think that I did it, even watch another Mission Impossible movie this year and apparently everything is possible (in that movie).Anyway, I have this new idea for my blog. You see, one of my hobbies is

This tutorial will show you how to create a photo made of words or random letters of the alphabet. It's a very simple effect to achieve on your image and don't be intimidated if you just started using Photoshop. We're just using basic tools here and I've tried to be as precise as possible in explaining each step. But if you still have any doubt, feel free to leave a comment. You can see the

I am actually pretty excited to show you this effect. I'm calling it the Halftone Wave Photo Effect. I think it is really cool and will work very well on a poster or flyer. I imagine in my head, it would be like a rock concert flyer, some cool party invitation..or something like that. But this effect can be used beyond my imagination. You are all smart people and I'm sure you can figure out the

So we travel back down this road where I will upload a new coloring PSD file for you to try on your image. I have a feeling that we will be traveling down this road many times in the future. So, bookmark this blog or follow us if you would like to come along and enjoy the ride. The more the merrier, isn't that what they always said. For today, I decided to call this coloring effect, Faded Spring.

It's an undeniable fact that everybody can sketch. Whether it's a nice sketch or not..now that's a whole other story. That is why we have technology or more specifically, an image editing program called Photoshop. And our tutorial today will show you how to turn a digital photo into a nice pencil sketch image. You'll learn how to create a black and white pencil sketch. Also, you'll have the

One of the things I love to do is to collect fonts. If that is one of your passion too, then I hope you'll enjoy this new selection of fonts I've compiled exclusively for the readers of this blog. Some of the fonts are designed to be in large scale. These fonts are great for big poster design where you can appreciate each detail, every curve and corner of the font. They could be useful for your

I've been posting PSD file every Tuesday for two weeks in a row now. I might as well start calling this event PSD Tuesday..like that song Ruby Tuesday. {Well, to be honest I wasn't really familiar with that song until someone sang it on American Idol}. Enough with my rambling. I'm calling today's color effect, Dark Chocolate. Apply this effect to the right photo, you'll see the similarity with

This post is for photographers (professional or not) who love to post-process their photos in Photoshop. It is also for die-hard fans who spend their free time downloading their favorite artist's pictures from the internet and make fanarts out of them. Whatever your purpose is, I hope you're gonna like the outcome of this coloring on your photo. It's not complicated and I know you want to try it.

Like every other post, it's like an obligation for me to type in a short introduction. Sure, you can go ahead, look at the picture and figure out instantly what this post is all about. But then, it wouldn't look so nice in terms of presentation or space utilization right?. So, today's tutorial is about creating borders in Photoshop. We are gonna learn to make two types of borders.

Not many of us buy picture frame anymore. Most of the things are digital these days. So, it's only natural for me to write this tutorial on how to create a simple border or frame for your digital photo. Everybody posted pictures in Facebook or blogs but not many posted pictures with borders and frames as cool as what I'm about to show you later. So, why not be different (or if your prefer to call

You may have your own way of doing it. There is no right or wrong. The government can't control the way we do grunge (at least this statement is still true in my country). Grunge is the art of appreciating the flaws in everything we see in the world. Stain, dirt, scratch and rust are some of the imperfections that make grunge so perfect (isn't it ironic?) If I may summarize what grunge is in my
