Great article… I like the first one with the smoke / skull the best… nicely done.
I gotta agree, that smoke tutorial is sick. Thanks so much for including a MIB article.
I though that the smoke tutorial would have used glowing edges to achieve the smoke effect on the skull – cleverly done. Who would have thought that much would go into making a simple folder image?
Just a note – can you make your post links target=”_blank” so that I don’t leave your site whenever I click a link?
Thanks guys, I’m glad you enjoyed this roundup. Feel free to suggest your links for next months roundup!
Adam: Yeah, the best tutorials often seem to use more steps than expected, attention to detail goes a long way. I’m afraid I don’t think I will be changing the link targets anytime soon. I have tested out both in the past, and overall people seem to much pretty links opening in the same window. I appreciate the suggestion though!
