More design related posts for you web and graphic designers out there. Enjoy!

Do you need inspiration? Then Sabet.tv is the place to go. Not only is it gorgeous, but it has every possible creative stimuli for you to enjoy.

Roughstock Studios are Killing Off 5 Design Myths. This made me laugh because it’s so, so true.

Are you a Photoshop face like Collis? Then check out these Beautiful Photoshop Brushes From JavierZhX, brought to us by the always fantastic WebAppers. They’re really nice, and best of all they’re free!

The fantastic Jeff from GoMedia Studios (who were recently profiled in Computer Arts Magazine – props!) has written a very helpful guide on What To Do When Your Designs Are Stolen. It is so infuriating when this happens. An example from a month or so ago was when we discovered a porn site had stolen the design for Faveup. A Faveup fan alerted us to the rip and Collis opened it up without thinking… when my mother was in the room. Oh it was so bad. I won’t link to the site because it’s pretty gross – but it’s identical!!! Anyway, the porn people were nasty and suggested that we redesign their site if we want them to change the design. True story!

Finally, a bit of light entertainment – the Make My Logo Bigger Cream website!

    That’s nasty. Hope you threw the book at those guys and took them to court.

    On the flip-side of the coin, someone once accused me of ripping off someone else’s design when what I actually did was re-use some icons without giving credit (out of ignorance, which I soon rectified).

    Sabet.tv is a great site. Thanks for the link.
