twe4ked web design studios

Looking around Vimeo the other day I decided to have a look for some web design tutorials, here are 5 great ones that I found, have a look through them and see if any take your fancy.

1: 3D Web Design Effect in Photoshop

2: CSS Shorthand: Margins

Andrew Turner has started a series over at his blog that will explain the different methods of writing shorthand CSS for different properties.

Writing Shorthand CSS is a great method of not only writing better code, but it also can reduce load times and speed up development time by almost halving the code to be written

4: Message Strip in Photoshop

In this tutorial, we’re going to make a little message strip in Photoshop that you can place in the top-right corner of a design. These little strips look very trendy and Web2.0-y, particularly in Web designs! It’s quite an easy effect to do, and in this tutorial we’ll add some shadow and light to make it pop!

Bonus: HDR Photography Tutorial

A bonus for all you photographers out there, If you havn’t checked out HDR photography yet, have a look at this great tutorial or check out the worlds master (in my honest opinion) on the subject over at *stuck in customs*.

In this tutorial I show how you can blend three differently exposed images using Photomatix, and then demonstrate how to use some basic Photoshop techniques to touch-up the resulting image.
