The workshop focused on photoshop ‘basics’ first, tools that will be utilized throughout the workshop. The…[Read more]

The greatest designer is normal people—the best cities in the world were not designed.

I wanted so say thank you to Abdulkader for the recommendation of the the Illustrated Guide to the flower of Saudi Arabia. It is a great resource.

I’ve never attended a graphics workshop, but it seems like it might be really helpful, considering there’s not a lot of drawing/sketching training in school. Anyone have any thoughts if it’s worth spending the money and time on a graphics workshop?
