Redesign Design - Richard Hanley, Caryn Leschen, and Hannah Schrag
Sometimes the best way for you to learn design theory is to see how other graphic designers would tackle a problem. Today’s tutorial features work by three graphic designers. Richard, Caryn, and Hannah take a brochure from Great American Publishers and each of them rework the piece. You can see the before and after, and read comments from the designers by clicking on the link below:

The Flash Blog - Mouse Proximity Tutorial
Lee Brimelow over at The Flash Blog has got an interesting tutorial on Mouse Proximity effect. In short, the Flash file looks for the mouse.. and when it is close, a graphic pops and follows it. It is really cool stuff. If you want to check it out, make sure you go here:
