There are all sorts of different inline tags, and I haven’t found a place that explains them all in one place, so here is the quick and dirty…

Yes, I want you all to ask your designers make your logo look more conceptual and clever using the graphic designing tricks. As it is said, a logo should not be a plain looking symbol…it should reflect you and your company’s personality.

The final result of a cleverly designed logo often appears to be very simple making it difficult for the customers to accept the high cost of their no-frills logo.

When entering information in the Location Bar, Mozilla attempts to convert the information into a usable URL. For example, “mozilla.org” is automatically converted to “http://mozilla.org/”. When Mozilla is unable to discern what URL the user wanted, the information that was entered may be submitted to an Internet Keywords service. This preference determines the Internet Keywords service URL.

Possible values and their effects

Any valid URL may be specified. The keyword will be appended to the URL and then the user will be redirected to the new URL. The default value is “http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=” in most Mozilla products; in Firefox and Sunbird the default is “http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=”. Recent versions allow this value to be localized.

In Firefox 2.0, the default has been changed to use Google’s “Browse by Name” service as part of Bug 323801: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=.

Method 1 – Pen Tool:

Select the Pen Tool from the Tools on the left. It’s easier if you zoom in to your image and start to create a new work path by plotting Anchor points along the outline of your subject.

Once you have closed the workpath, go to Paths tab and you will see your newly created workpath there. Ctrl-click on the workpath layer to load selection. Select > Inverse to select the area outside the subject. Press Delete.

After sharing my textures in the earlier post, I think it will be a good idea to compile a list of beautiful textures created by other professional designers. I have categorized them according to Grunge, Vintage and Wood so far. More categories will be coming in the next post.

I tried to link most of the textures back to the creators’ personal site. So we can see other amazing works from them. Click on the thumbnails below to view them. For those that I missed out, please write a note here and I’ll update it accordingly.

I think some of you may have seen the artworks on Fantasy Eyes theme on deviantART, Behance or other design portals. There is also a huge collection of Eyes Fan Club here. Today we shall explore the basics on how we can create such effects in Photoshop.
