The Designer Forum and W4D have linked up to successfully hold tips and tricks sessions for designers on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The sessions are either for beginners or intermediate level on the software and we have had a full house for each session we’ve held so far. Topics range from building complex repeats to drawing detailed garments.
Great feedback received so far:
Great inspiration and refreshes your skills whilst learning new skills. Very useful day.
Learnt alot, can’t wait to get home and have a play with the software!
Great advice, well documented, gave enough time to write down notes and all questions answered.

Making a brush library always visible in Illustrator
Posted on | January 26, 2012 | No Comments
If there is a brush library that you find you are always having to open to use each time you are in Illustrator there is a one time step and then it will always stay open in Illustrator. Copy your brush library onto your desktop or somewhere on your computer (this tip wont work if the brush library is only stored on a company server).
Open your brush library – Go to the Brushes Library Menu (buttom left button in the brush palette) – Open Library – Other Library. Find your library and let it load up. The result is a floating palette. Now that the library is open you can make it stay open by going to the top right hand corner of that brush library palette and you will see persistant as an option, click on this. Your palette should now stay open until you untick persistant at any point. This is a real time saver!
