Sites of the week #12

August 07, 2008 from fabiano's blog

We've got some great links this week. We're talking about many different subjects like surf, games, architecture, university projects and last but not least, knowledge. Yes, a small web app based on Twitter and Yahoo Answer, called ToAnswer, which you'll most certainly enjoy and learn!

DESIGN / CSS

Roxy - www.roxy.com

When Quiksilver decided to start a women's line in 1990, it was a gutsy move. The surf market has always been a fickle one. And female surfers, despite their achievements in and out of the water, hadn't drummed up nearly the notoriety nor the community that guys had long enjoyed. But great ideas always take some guts. And the company saw the untapped women's surf market as a huge opportunity. Turns out they were right.

Featured Tutorial

 Create a Stylish Retro Futuristic Poster in Photoshop
It has been a good time since I did my last photoshop tutorial, so for this week I decided to take a look at some old works I did when I were more into photoshop and just found this awesome one. However, when I opened the orinal PSD. file I found many things I wouldn't do nowadays, so I decided to try to recreate using my reent methods. This a experience I would recommend to anyone: get an old design and try to redo it.
