Awesome Design Blog

An ex coworker of mine (and friend and fellow Packer fan) started up a design blog aimed at young designers (but with tips for seasoned pros as well). She offers great hints, resources and ideas to get you ready for the "real world".

After search in the blog posts far and wide for a solution to replace text with an image, yet still remain functional with images and css turned off for accessibility reasons, this is the best:

I know there are tons of blogs on this, but I enjoy it so much I feel to need to spread the love.

Bullets in Photoshop

So, I'm doing comps for an eblast template and, of course, I'm mocking it up in Photoshop. I never thought of how to make a bullet list in photoshop so I would just use tabs. This is tedious. Google to the rescue. I found this great blog post. However, the tutorial stops short of something important. If you have a text box with normal paragraphs and a bullet list, you actually need to do one more step.

After you do the first line indent with a negative value, select the bulleted text and indent the whole text the same value or greater than the negative value. For instance, if you use -15pt for the first line, indent the whole paragraph 15pt or greater if you want the bullet list to be indented more than the paragraph.

I've attached 2 photos (one of the palette and one of the text itself). Hopefully this helps someone.

whoops.

I need to get back on this train. Recording stories ahead!
