Each month we like to remind the community of what is happening on the other three sites in our TUTS network. This month we have some great Adobe illlustrator tutorials, some ace web development tips, and some excellent audio techniques from other TUTS family members.
In a time of economic crisis, web developers and freelancers everywhere have started chewing their fingernails. However, no matter how bad the economy worsens, there will always be work in certain booming fields of web development.
Back in April, Collis TaÃeed - CEO of Envato - wrote a fantastic tutorial on designing a tab structure using CSS/HTML/JS.
If you havenÃt already, I 100% recommend that you review it. However, dynamically pulling in an RSS feed was beyond the scope of that article. In todayÃs video tutorial, IÃll show you exactly how to do this using PHP. At roughly forty-five minutes in length, you might want to take a quick ìpre-screencast bathroom breakî.
This tutorial will show you how to create a mashup of three different APIs including integration with Google Maps. This idea came about when I was searching through ProgrammableWebÃs API directory for a couple APIs that complimented each other enough that I could use one to provide the other with data. What I came up with will be known as the ìBeer Mashupî.
There are a few special techniques or effects that can spice up just about any web page. These are the top 20 Ajax effects that every web developer should know. TheyÃre essential parts of any web developerÃs toolbox. If you havenÃt seen them yet, you no doubt will in your future web development endeavors.
Spam is one of the major pitfalls of the social web. According to sites such as Postini, 10 out of 12 email messages are spam. As if that werenÃt already enough to make you cringe, 1 in 39 emails contain a virus. Deciding on the best method of spam prevention on your blogs, forums, or even contact forms can be difficult. In this article we will take a look at a service called Akismet and how it can help. We will also look at why some other methods of fighting spam fail.
We recently launched the VECTORTUTS PLUS section of the site. We have another great PLUS tutorial exclusively available to members today. If you want to become a professional vector illustrator, then this is a comprehensive tutorial for you. It details how to create a custom caricature. A complete and precise workflow is covered.
We recently launched the VECTORTUTS PLUS section of the site. We have another great PLUS tutorial exclusively available to members today. If you're looking for a workflow that demonstrates how to professionally take a monster sketch through to detailed completion, then this tutorial is for you.
Here are 30 very cool examples of vector skateboard deck art with info on the artists behind them, plus some resources to help you get started creating your own skateboard deck art.
In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps of creating a comic strip using Illustrator's Pen Tool, custom brushes and masking features. This is a fun tutorial that covers the process I use, while showcasing the comic strip I write called "The Brads." You can read the strip regularly on my blog.
In this Illustrator tutorial I will show you how to create a swirly type treatment. With a free font, some brushes, and gradients you can easily create this type treatment. Moreover, you can apply these techniques to other type treatments, logos, and illustrations as well.
Although pads are usually subtle sounds, they can be all-important when you need to add atmosphere to a track. Even though these sounds may only amount to a backdrop, it’s well worth investing some time into creating them.
Have you ever wondered how modern rock bands get that really tight sound? The rhythms sometimes sound too perfect for even the best musicians to pull off. With today’s technology it is possible to easily quantize your audio tracks. This tutorial will teach you how to start correcting your timing by using beat detective and elastic audio in Digidesign’s Pro Tools software.
There are a huge number of tools available for slicing and dicing loops but one of the original (and still one of the best) is Propellerheads Recycle. When the resulting .Rex files are manipulated in Reason’s Dr. Rex player great results are possible.
As with many sound design techniques, there are an infinite number of ways to create compelling creature sounds. However, as with all sound design, the best products generally result from great source material. Starting with your own recordings of animals and humans means that your product will sound unlike anyone else!
Ever wanted to DJ with Ableton Live? Here’s how! While it’s true that you can produce a complete live show with Ableton Live, bringing your studio production to stage, some would just like to mix their favorite tracks “a la DJ.â€
Keep reading with more great tutorials and articles!
