skitch graphic by blake stevenson

I stumbled upon a great tool to work your designs over with clients. The program has been out for awhile but I haven’t really gotten to using it until recently. That piece of software is called Skitch.

As a web designer sometimes I don’t want to boot up adobe photoshop, point out items on a graphic and then re-save it and send it off. Skitch is not a very intensive program so it boots up in a second, you edit what your crap then drag and drop it directly from the program into something like your email, desktop or whatever. I feel this is a great tool to communicate certain items with your clients quick and easily. All the is for low low price of FREE! (click to signup)

WAIT there’s more! (as those sales types say) and I don’t feel like I can explain it as well as the good people over at Skitch can so if your interested check out the 3min video on the website. (look at the very bottom of the page)

Downfall: No Windows version. Only Mac (if you click here you will go straight to the sign up page)

jetpacks and rollerskates on Revision3's Hak5I have admired what the guys do over at Hak5 for a while now. So, i decided to approach Darren Kitchen, one of the hosts of the show (Shannon Morse co-hosts along side with Darren) in the Revision3 live chat.

Darren first set me on the task to drawn the entire cast of Hak5 along with some show mascots: WIFI Pineapple and Network Monkey (my illustrations were used for the intro of Season 6). My second task was to create both a background and postcard for promotional uses. Finally Darren approached me not knowing what he was going to do for the Season 7 graphics. So, we scraped together a concept and I did the vector graphics for him you can see them on the upcoming episodes of Hak5.
