Season of Christmas in Pictures

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! And we wish a lovely new year!

Today I have made a collection of photos depicting the environment of “Jingle Bells jingle bells jingle all the way…” (I just love this melody). I’m sure our photographer friends will derive some inspiration for the photography of festivals while I just made it to enjoy the season. Some pictures have humor in them, but mostly all of these portray the air of the favorite season the kids. (aah, I wish Santa was real!)

Cool Wallpapers for Christmas and New Year 2012

Holiday season is starting and New Year is upon us, and Christmas is on the edge of the week. So today I have decided to make a collection of seasonal wallpapers.

Half of these wallpapers are Christmas themed and half of them are for new year.

It’s strange that we don’t publish wallpapers more often because our related posts usually go very hit, like 35 Awesome Wallpapers. I guess now that we are enhancing Designzzz you’ll see a lot more wallpapers, and if you noticed on our homepage, we are publishing 4 posts daily, 3 brief ones and one big one. In the brief ones, I might find a passage to give you wallpapers. :)

Free PSD Template for Entertainment and Lifestyle Blog

Last week we published a tutorial of Dark Stylish Blog Layout in Photoshop. Today we are presenting its free download-able PSD file. As usual, it is absolutely free and you can easily edit in Adobe Photoshop.

This is a blog design for a lifestyle or showbiz related website. It also contains the features of a Magazine Layout. Don’t care about the dummy text, I just copied a few lines from Tayyab’s article How to Stay Prepared for Tomorrow. I don’t like Lorem Ipsum text so I just copy a para from here or there.

I almost forgot to make a collection of brushes, last time I made one was October, so here I am with a really useful collection of free Photoshop brushes.

These brushes work brilliant for adding an expression in photos, creating photo based designs such as photo albums, also useful for creating billboards and stuff like that. Basically these brushes adds a pinch of art into your designs.

As usual, you can download all of them in a single pack or independently by reaching the source. Enjoy!

User Experience New Features of WordPress 3.3 “Sonny”

A couple of days ago WordPress launched its final update of WordPress 3.3. Right now, all the WordPress blogs around the world (including Designzzz) are being notified that they should upgrade. Most of the webmasters haven’t updated yet (again, includings Designzzz) because they have a fear that their theme might not work properly with this new version.
Your web design tutorial writer Jawad has a blog about cars and automobile, Carunch.com, last night he has upgraded it! Now I’m in a position to give you a personal user experience of the latest WP.

The new version is named “Sonny” in the honor of famous Jazz musician Sonny Stitt. Almost all of the WordPress 3.x compatible themes are working fine with Sonny, even the customarily programmed ones.

How to Create a Scary Security Cam Horror Effect

I’m feeling a little crazy today, don’t know why… but since I am, I made something creazie. This is a tutorial for creating a scary horror effect in Photoshop. You might wanna call it a photo manipulation but I just focused on the effect rather than adding too many pictures or using many effects.

This kind of effect can be useful for creating posters for movies and clubs. You can enhance the graphic by adding extra bits, and I’ll be giving ideas for these extra bits in the article. I didn’t add them to keep the tutorial brief. I’ll try to make a detailed tutorial, it’ll be long but you’ll love it.
