Ok, so a friend of mine mentioned to me some sites that are great resources for Photoshop and told me I should write a post about them on this here blog.

I responded “I don’t have any photoshop articles”.

His response “Why not…your blog is about all things related to UI isn’t it?”

And to that…I had no response, because he is right of course. The idea of this site is to talk about all things related to the user interface, and here I am neglecting a big part of just that topic. Doesn’t make a whole lotta sense does it?

The truth of the matter is, while I can use Photoshop relatively well, I am no master by any means so I don’t really feel qualified to write a lot about it. However, in web design (and really just about any design), the use of design tools such as Photoshop is an important topic.

So I am putting out the call. I am looking to find some guest authors to write an article from time to time on design tools. It doesn’t have to be Photoshop per se, but it has to be something used in the creative process of creating a computer application (i.e. a web page).

Interested? Here are the requirements:

1. Can you write well? I am not looking for Shakespeare here, but ya gotta be able to write something that other people would enjoy reading.

2. Do you know your stuff? Obviously if you are gonna write about PS, or some other tool, then you have to know how to use it.

3. Can you make it applicable? Some design tools…such as PS…are used for a wide variety of reasons. The focus here is creating interfaces for computers. If you are a guru, but you use it to create printed materials, then it might be hard for web designers to relate to.

That’s it…nothin’ fancy.

So if you are interested, please get in touch and we can go from there.

So I just took a little survey (19 questions) about the various developer platforms that I have used and which I prefer and why.

If you are a developer (either professionally or as a hobbyist) you might want to check it out.
