I've just used iWork to share a presentation. I use MobileMe to share photos too.RT @markhattersley
I try to do Illustrator illustrations starting from pencil drawings. I try to make myself better! RT @hariana_v

Whether it’s the speeded-up glow of car headlights in a night-time city scene, an alien spacecraft or a deep-sea jellyfish you’re recreating, this far-out neon look is a highly useful trick to master. It conveys a sense of movement and energy, and the colours can be tweaked to give a surprising range of effects.
In this tutorial, Tony Ariawan provides a step-by-step guide to creating this look, using simple resources and Photoshop tools. He shows that you don’t need particularly advanced tools to create a high-tech look: sometimes the simpler tools, applied with care and skill, can have far more impact.
Step 1
In Photoshop, open girl_portrait. jpg from the right (or the cover CD on the magazine). Create a new adjustment layer, and select the Levels (Cmd/ Ctrl + L). Set the Output Level white to 130.
