I'm not gonna write you a love song today
Albums for Inspiration
Feb 9th
All designers have their own way of finding inspiration, mine is listening to music. If you are an iTunes junkie like me, when your stuck in a rut sometimes just that one song can make you Jump back into Photoshop to create that masterpiece. I put together a list of artists & albums that help get my creative synapses firing, maybe they will help others as well!
The reappearing rabbit
Nov 17th
I know I’ve been MIA for a while. For those who didn’t know, I began a Masters of arts in Organization Leadership in September. My first instructor was not kidding when she said that “graduate school is an endurance test.” I almost have one semester down in my three year journey and it’s a been exciting and exhausting. I will admit it was hard going back to school, but I needed to do this for personal and professional reasons. I have learned a lot of theory so far, but it’s still been a worthwhile experience. In fact for the first time in my education I didn’t sell a book back; The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes & Posner is an excellent read!
So that has been what has eating away at my creative time lately. I haven’t had much time to play with Photoshop, but over winter break I plan on finally putting together my next social media set as well as some technology reviews I have saved as drafts. Thanks for still checking out my site, hopefully I’ll have more goodies for you all soon! Thanks for your patience!
Tweet Tweet, Follow Me?
Aug 23rd
Instead of having my personal and website tweets in one jumbled mess I decided to separate the two off. I don’t think my website followers need to know what I had for dinner! If you would like to follow isaymeow.net, please do by clicking on this link!
Free Icon Sets
Jul 11th
I was feeling slightly creative and wanted to share a set of web icons. There are two sets containing Twitter and RSS feed icons. They look great on dark or light backgrounds, so hopefully someone will find them useful. Please check out the Goodies section for download links!
Annie VS Apple Part 2
Dec 20th
Well, My logicboard did indeed end up failing again and I wasn’t too happy. I had finally made the decision to make my way through the labyrinth of phone support to get to Apple Customer Relations. Now they don’t have a direct line, so you have to go through first and second level tech spport first. getting through the first level was easy as pie, the second not so much. He kept trying to troubleshoot my issue and would not listen to a thing I had to say. After fifteen minutes and me insisting he finally he gave in and patched me through to Customer relations. The man that took my call was James, and he was a very nice fellow — but of coarse that’s his job! He looked at my case history and asked if he could put me on hold while he worked out some options. I accepted and ten minutes later I was given the option to have the parts replaced and if anything else happens call his personal line back — or I was offered a brand new machine. Needles to say I took the new machine option. They built me a custom machine (which it’s basically stock plus the antiglare coating) and it was shipped to me from chine within a week and a half. So now I am sitting here typing from a brand new 17″ Macbook pro giddy as a schoolgirl (especially when my CS3 Design suite installed within 15 minutes, Dear lordy!)
So a word to the wise; If you ever have issues with an apple product with multiple hardware failures be stong and insist you be patched into Apple Customer Relations, because they are the people who have the power to “make things better” — and after my experience with them Needless to say my faith has been restored!
