[#Design] Free Lynda.com Video: Photography Foundations: Exposure

Posted on Thursday June 1, 2017Monday May 29, 2017 by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.com –Free Lynda.com Video: Photography Foundations: Exposure:

“
Nowadays, it seems like everyone is a photographer, carrying a 10 MP (or more) camera in their pockets wherever they go. But as handy as our phone cameras are, they still can’t replicate the capabilities of digital SLRs. Of course, in order to take advantage of those capabilities, you have to understand the fundamentals of photography and familiarize yourself with the specific features of your camera. If you need some help in either of those areas, Ben Long’s Lynda.com course, Photography Foundations: Exposure, is the perfect resource. Here’s the official course description: Arriving at the best exposure for a photo is part science and part art. In Foundations of Photography: Exposure, Ben Long helps photographers expand their artistic options by giving them a deep understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and all other critical exposure practices. This course covers the basic exposure controls provided by all digital SLR cameras, as well as most advanced point-and-shoot models. Learn how to master a camera’s metering modes, how to use exposure compensation and bracketing, and much more. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to develop an “exposure strategy” that will allow you to effectively employ your exposure knowledge…

[Design] CreativePro Tip of the Week: Using Resource Libraries in Illustrator

Posted on Tuesday May 30, 2017Sunday May 28, 2017 by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.com –CreativePro Tip of the Week: Using Resource Libraries in Illustrator:

“
Adobe Illustrator offers a wealth of resources for creating great artwork, in the form of libraries of color swatches, brushes, symbols, graphic styles. These are not to be confused with Creative Cloud libraries, which you populate with your own graphics, colors, etc. You can access resource libraries from the various panels, by clicking on the button to access the panel’s library menu. When you select a library, it opens in a new panel. Use the left and right arrow buttons on the library panel to navigate through the various libraries. By default, when you quit and restart Illustrator, the library panel will be closed, but you can force it to stay open by going to the panel menu and choosing Persistent. You can also add specific resources to the Swatches, Brushes, Symbols…

[#Tutorial] Getting Started With The #JavaScript Web Animation API

Posted on Monday May 29, 2017Sunday May 28, 2017 by Eric Brooks

From Tutorialzine –Getting Started With The JavaScript Web Animation API:

“
Adding animations to web interfaces makes pages and apps feel more responsive and interactive. A side menu that smoothly slides out of view provides a much better user experience then a menu that just disappears when you close it. So far creating web animations was done either via CSS transitions, CSS keyframes, or an external library such as Animate.css or Velocity. Thanks to a new native JavaScript API, we are now able to freely animate any HTML element without ever having to leave our .js file.

[Design] Secrets of the Esc Key

Posted on Sunday May 28, 2017Saturday May 27, 2017 by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.com –Secrets of the Esc Key:

“

If you’ll pardon the pun, the Esc key might escape the notice of many Adobe Creative Cloud users, but it’s actually a great shortcut. You might already know that the Esc key can be a shortcut for the Cancel button, but it does a few more interesting things in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator. I wrote this article as a follow-up to my earlier CreativePro article about the hidden powers of the Enter key; if you like these tips you’ll want to check out that article too. But for now, let’s uncover some of the secrets of the Esc key. Esc: Your Easy Exit Esc is short for "escape," and that’s a good way to understand when to press that key. When you’re adjusting an option and you find yourself thinking "I’m going down the wrong road…", that’s when you might want to try the Esc key. In many applications, the Esc key is a keyboard shortcut for canceling the current operation. If you see a Cancel button on the screen, chances are pressing Esc will be the same as clicking that Cancel button. Similarly, Esc is often a single-key equivalent to pressing the Command-. (Mac) or Ctrl-. (Windows) shortcut for canceling…
