Behind the design

As always, here are some insights from the designer herself:

All of us designers need graphics and icons for our own sites, not just for client’s sites, so we designed this icon set with that in mind. The set contains 12 big icons in 256×256 format. Both layered PSDs and transparent PNGs are included. We like to call it our ‘designer portfolio icon set’. The set includes the following icons:

Avatar

Portfolio

Brushes

Mail / Envelope

Color Palette

Colored Pencils

Tablet

Laptop Computer

Moleskine Notebook

DSLR Camera

Easel With Canvas

Coffee Cup (who said designers drink too much coffee?)

Thank you very much, Jon & Co.! We appreciate your efforts.

365 days of Photoshop – Download a FREE PSD file every day!

Debora Parentes — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:04:28 +0000

From 365psd:

“Kill your darlings.” Every designer knows what this means. You design something really beautiful, but it does not make it to the final design. The design that you have made with love, pixel by pixel, never really fits in new projects. These poor files are left catching dust in a dark corner of your hard disc…

But do not mourn, 365psd is a project to give these designs a second chance. Jonno Riekwel felt it was time for a change. “Why not give these files a new life by giving them away, for free? So he started on a journey to release an unused .psd design everyday, for at least a year. Others have already joined to also give their files a new life.

And here we are, there are hundreds of .psd’s ready to be downloaded. Please, have a look around and see if there is any design that you can give a second chance; a new purpose. Believe me, it feels great!

40 Detailed and High Quality Mobile Phone .psd Source Files

Debora Parentes — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:01:09 +0000

psd source files are truly amazing and unique resources – not only do they showcase the talents of the artist, but they also offer the opportunity to dig deeper and discover how they were created. They give you the chance to learn, unlike tutorials which are step-by-step, with a .psd file you roll your sleeves and you get your hands dirty delving into its inner workings.

Whether it is for learning new techniques, for wireframing your latest mobile app or if you are just curious about the design, all of the .psd files below have one thing in common – They are highly detailed and of the highest quality. Thanks to all the artists.
