I cant count the number of times I have needed a free myspace graphic header when working on a bands site and I’ve seen too many designers naturally go straight to www.myspace.com and download the myspace graphic off the header of the myspace page. Problem is that logo isn’t always the right size and colour that is needed. In the end the logo is pixelated and discolored looking like crap not doing justice to a usually well designed site. Here is a high resolution JPG of the myspace graphic logo, crisp lines only in black and white. Enjoy!

Colour Blind? Have no clue about colours? or just want to find a nice colour scheme? Well then the Color Jack sphere is for you. Color Jack is an online application that aids you when picking a colour for your project. Pick anything from complementary to Six-tone CCW. Once you have found that ‘oh so perfect’ colour scheme you can then export it to any number of photo editing programs or just use the Hex values in your html/css.

I often get friends sending me photos that they would like cropped, resized, fliped, greyscaled, or any number of things done to them because they don’t have the tools or the know how to do it themselves. These simple task adds up when a few freinds ask every day. I recentally found out about a web service called Pixer. Pixer is an online photo editor that is free, simple to use, and does everything that one would need. Simply just upload an image and then choose from any one of the tools it offers. I find this handy when I’m on a computer that doesn’t have a photo program such as photoshop installed on it.

If you know of any other web tools such as Pixer, let me know. I would love to make a post about them.

If you search the web for site that offer fonts your likely to find some that are less than satisfactory. A great resource I use for fonts is called Dafont. Anything from non-serif to grunge fonts are available. Its sort of the Deviant Art of fonts, all the big designers post their stuff here, and the results are excellent. New fonts are posted every few days so check back every now and then.
