17 Wordpress Theme Design Tutorials

Matt Rogers — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 08:42:44 +0000

Often called the most versatile blogging platform on the net, Wordpress has become the de facto back-end for countless bloggers. As a platform, it’s got everything a blogger needs (except writing skills), and it does come ready for use – right out of the box.

Despite its simple layout and ready-set-go functionality, most find it too dry to leave anything near its original state once they get their hands on it, and for good reason. Blogs aren’t just the words contained within. The look and feel of the entire site can make or break a blog, and that means themes. There are boxed themes and sample themes, dark themes and light themes. There are themes that don’t even look like Wordpress drives them anymore, but underneath it all lies the very same, very free blogging platform we all love so much.

These 17 tutorials will show an amazing diversity in the methods a blogger can employ in designing their very own Wordpress blog.

Free 83 Professional Logos With PSD Files

Bariski — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:22:20 +0000

A logo is one aspect of any blog or a company’s commercial brand which is used to identify different sites or blogs or a particular brand. Its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. In this competitive world, it is sensible to use an ideogram as a logo, even with the name, if people will not duly identify it.

Logo design is an important area of graphic design, and one of the most difficult to perfect. The logo (ideogram), is the image embodying an organization. Because logos are meant to represent companies’ brands or corporate identities and foster their immediate customer recognition, it is counterproductive to frequently redesign logos.

One of our reader named Gene from Shaboopie.com offered 83 Professional PSD logos (fully customizable) to be featured on our site. The logos are designed 100% by Shaboopie team. They are free, however see (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/). Hope these come in handy for your next design work or redesigning of your current logo.
