Spoon Graphics

Chris Spooner
I have been following this UK designer for a bit now. Though his work may not be the most cutting edge his documentation definitely is. Other then PSDtuts, I have not seen any other resource on the net so eloquent and informative on basic design processes in the Adobe programs we know and love. Check out the wallpapers I made below from tutorials I found on his site. Even though you may not be enthused by these examples of graphic design, the skills I have learned in photoshop from tutorials like these have helped my architectural renderings ten-fold.

Link List: tuts+

Hopefully you all have noticed these links over in the link bar to the left. I stumbled upon these resources when they were in their infancy and this network has quickly grown into the greatest boon for visual designers. The tuts network contains hundreds of tutorials, freebies, articles and other goodies, divided between photoshop, illustrator, web design, audio design, after effects, and flash. Take a couple of minutes to stroll through these sites and check out the tutorials. In just a couple of months I learned good web design and killer photoshop skills just from a few of these guides.
