Yeh I agree, I would say now that Bing 'is live and binging', the fact it hijacks and becomes a default search engine on many machines is probably a contributing factor. Personally I am loyal to Google and have a preference for their mail program too.

Personally, I believe in taking an interest in educating the client, potential client, or general 'person up the street' the benefits of design, and indeed 'good design' one that, in such a way isn't about being all fluffy and serving the purpose, but also about how a well thought out design can...

Wow, that is excessive! but not surprised, being government related and the spending 'over' budget no doubt. I wonder if they approached someone with a budget of £30 and is now being taking for a ride!? (That will teach them!) lol Surely their must be a lot of other work going into it, to get...

Hey guys, Been a month since my introduction, and I have had a lot to think about, sadly not moved much further since though. Tbh, My heads a blur and a I feel overwhelmed, I would appreciate some help and guidance to help start focusing my efforts more clearly. A little about me, I am 24 and...

The callout option I was getting in Photoshop, was just Rounded/Oval....thats why i asked.

I know how to manipulate the anchor points atm, but don't know how to get a rectangular callout with rounded edges like your example? How did u do it? I'm using Ps CS4? Yeh understood, Onartis, it's early days, and I'm not intermediate in every technique yet. No harm in trying though, got to...

Cool I will stick with the callout box for now, and worry about texture another time (if at all), thanks for the input, Tbh, Im such a newbie I can't even achieve the example by 'onartis' at the moment lol

Thanks for that, I think I can get on with it for now, good place to start, might make the 'Whisp' more rounded though then your example, but will just play around with it. Its the smoke effect to the whole box which I might have more difficulty achieving, but can use shadow, greys etc...and...

Yeh thought it was simple enough, newbie here and was inspired away from my adobe to attempt it! Thanks for enlightening me! Oh... And I forgot I am also curious about giving it all a smoky, whispy, fluffy effect too? Which will take more work, Any thoughts? Think there a few techniques online...

Hey guys, I am working on an advert for print at the moment and looking to find/create a textbox/callout. In particular I am looking for a rectangular shaped box with rounded edges, and would like the callout part to have a 'Whisp' like appearance similar to the tail of a 'Genie' when he comes...

Hey Rhonda, I am new to this site and have to say a bit of an 'aerosexual' but I don't sit at the end of runways in a anorak and thermal for company (I save that for browsing this site!) ;o) I am actually Cabin Crew as my main job, for now! Thanks for sharing it!

Well I just purchased extended Apple Care on iMac for another 2 years as well, so keeping the iMac is probably best for now, I can always make adjustments down the road. The most important thing is getting a new laptop for when I am on the move, just need to decide on the screen! grrr!

Hey guys, just want your thoughts on what setup to have? I am going to be buying a MacBook Pro as I need to update my Vaio that is pretty much useless. And as I fly out of the country a lot I want to take my work with me. I am looking to buy a MBP 15"/ i7 /2.66ghz/ 500gb HD and 512GB...

The PC World store is airside (departures) I am afraid and you would only be able to visit the store when travelling 'out' of T5, or connecting onto another flight, time permitting. When arriving into T5 there is only a small BAA 'World Duty Free' shop at each end of the Arrivals concourse after...

Fantastic, in which case I digress! If i can make any 'constructive' in the future I will, Look forward to hearing more about your work!
