If you've ever fought back
the urge to pull out a red sharpie to mark
up a sign or poster, then you'll like these
stickers. There's a new website
calledDesign Policethat offers
handy labels for identifying designer gaffes.
While the labels are good for a laugh... I am
sorely tempted to actually print these out on
adhesive sheets. Be sure toclick throughall five
pages... ordownload the set as a
PDF.
Like many out there... I find some of the
cosmetic changes in Leopard are bothersome.
Fortunately, a donationware application
namedXspinnerdoes the trick.
Customize the
Dock
Change the
look of the menu bar
Use Widgets
outside of the Dashboard
Customize the
default Save and Print dialogs in all
applications
Tweak Finder
settings
Run system
maintenance scripts
and access
system utilities and system logs
The biggest
changes I like are making the menu bar opaque
again, showing file paths in windows, and
tweaking the Dock. The application is highly
recommended as it is very stable and does not
have to keep running after the changes are made.
Looking
for a better way to show your images on the
web? Adobe has boosted Bridge with new web
galleries.
"Adobe® Media Gallery
(AMG)
for Adobe Bridge adds quick, powerful Web gallery
creation to Adobe Photoshop® CS3, Adobe Photoshop
CS3 Extended and the Adobe Creative Suite®. AMG
makes it possible to create HTML or Flash-based
galleries from any of the file formats supported
by Bridge; adjust the galleries using the
built-in preview; and export the results or
upload them via FTP."

I just picked up a new
book that I highly recommend on maximizing
your efficiency and workflow with Final Cut
Pro. Be sure to check outFinal Cut Pro Workflows: The
Independent Studio Handbookby Jason Osder
and Robbie Carman. The book has a lot of
coverage on integrating graphics with Final
Cut Pro and is truly useful.
“Today's digital production tools empower
the small team to produce multimedia projects
that formerly required large teams. Orchestrating
a production requires more than proficiency with
the postproduction tools. Final Cut Pro
Workflows: The Independent Studio Handbook offers
a cookbook of postproduction workflows that teams
can follow to deliver an array of products to
their clients. It describes appropriate
postproduction workflows, team roles and
responsibilities, and required equipment for some
of the most common media productions.”
With an easy style and great depth,Final Cut Pro Workflows: The
Independent Studio Handbookis an enjoyable
and important read. Osder and Carman offer a
diverse background and extensive experience
with Final Cut Pro.
I've launched a new
resource site called Final Cut Help to offer you
more news on Final Cut Studio as well as
centralize all of my Final Cut resources and
training products. Here are a few things you may
like.
