How to Stay Prepared for Tomorrow

The advancement of technology is coming about at light speed. I still remember that I learned using a PC on monochrome (black and white) monitors, and even my teacher didn’t know to use a mouse. We used DOS as the operating system 1MB floppy drive was the only way for data transfer, nobody knew about anything called internet. It sounds like I’m talking about an era centuries ago, yet I’m not even in my 30s’!!

When I see the technology around me, I sometimes wonder, can we keep up with this?? And the answer is Yes!!

Designzzz Wooden Alphabet Pack Giveaway for Designers

This is a super cool English alphabet pack which looks like some carpenter made it from real wood sticks and screws. On high resolution large size images, such as billboards, posters (and even web designs) give out results that are Wowing!!

I have just started freelance designing. I upload my designs on online market places and earn from it. Yesterday I was designing this Wood Alphabet Pack, the same effect for which I created a tutorial on Designzzz. Although I created this design but how can I forget you guys, the people who enabled me to dream of earning more than I ever did, so here’s what we have decided; whenever I design a premium resource pack to sell, I’ll make a free giveaway on Designzzz. Today is the first of those giveaways.
Usually when we choose 2-3 winners in a giveaway when we are partnering with a third-party, but today, since Designzzz is the sole sponsor of this giveaway, we’ll choose 10 Winners. 

Update: Today is the winner announcement day but comments are just starting to flow in, maybe it has something to do with holiday season, anyways we have postponed the winner announcement date so you can post your comments. The results will be announced on 12 December.
