Add Your Own Touch to the PSDTUTS Redesign
Oct 26th in News by Skellie
If you scroll down to the bottom of the new PSDTUTS theme you'll notice that next to our logo in the footer is a link to somewhere else on the web, or a quote. This is generated from a random list of ten quotes or links. At the moment they are Collis's own bizarro favorite links and videos, but he's asked me to hand over control of that section to you guys. Read on to find out how you can get your favorite link or quote exposed to over 1.4 million designers!
Skellie is Tuts+ Manager. She makes sure all the Tuts+ sites are awesome. You can follow her/the Tuts+ Network on Twitter via @tutsplus.
Taking part is easy.
Submit your link or quotes in the comments. Keep in mind the target audience of the site, being Photoshop users, people interested in art and design, and often working designers/freelancers--but also keep in mind that we'll definitely consider links or quotes that are awesome but not necessarily relevant to Photoshop.
We ask that your link is not something you created or are affiliated with: this is about shedding light on the incredible (or hilarious) work of others.
Submit your suggestions in the comments below and over the week Sean and I will pick out our 20 favorites. Next week, we'll hold a poll where you can pick the top 10 from the 20 options we select. Those ten will be featured on the site. Hopefully this will be a fun new way to add even more community influence to the PSDTUTS redesign!
A few words from Collis on keeping the quirkiness alive at PSDTUTS:
"One of the things that we've kind of always had with TUTS is a bit of quirkiness. It began with that spoon, I don't know why we have a spoon, but we do. Then for a while we had adverts that said 'There is no spoon'."
(A glance at the top right corner of the footer shows that the spoon is still alive and well!)

Seems interesting. I don’t know much about the links being a novice. But I’ve seen a good inspiring turkish(probably) art magazine in link http://www.bakdergisi.com which i found helpful for enthusiasts. And for the quote once I have heard: “Everything you can imagine is real”, probably said an artist. Most probably Publo Picasso.. I’m not sure…

The spoon is a lie.

I came across this intense collection of some great digital artists a while ago. To this day I still go back and admire their works. It keeps me from giving up sometimes when confronted with a “designers block” or any other stumbling stones…

One of my favorite quotes:
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says “I will try again tomorrow.” – Anonymous
Not necessarily a design quote, but it helps to keep me grounded given current lay-offs at my company, and the general state of the world today.
Keep up the good work on this site. It’s very much appreciated by those who want to learn more, and may not have the means for formal training.

Very funny website. It’s a video advertising some fake products for clients who don’t like their designers, including “Make my logo Bigger Creamâ€.

“Simplicity is the best weapon.”
Has been in my head for ages. I don’t know who said it, can’t find anything on google either. Maybe I came up with it myself, I don’t really know. (Maybe I dreamt it?)
