Didn't Adobe just rebrand all the CS3 components with the little Table-of-the-Elements iconic squares? Evidently, that wasn't good enough for Photoshop, which is now sporting a brand new look in the form of a "P" that more accurately resembles a speech bubble.

The question here is why would Photoshop, a design leader, jump on the speech bubble logo bandwagon?

Buttons and badges and bubbles, OH MY!! A smorgasboard of free vector art. Also - Illustrator tutorials - and plenty of them. I'm going to try my hand with the Scanner Darkly effect.

I was looking for a handy way to duplicate Photoshop's faux bold in Illustrator, for fonts that don't provide a bold option, and I came across this Faux Bold Equivalent posting in Graphic Forums.

And being curious, I thought I'd look more closely at these Graphic Forums, and I found what is something of a treasure trove of handy information, particularly in the Learn > Tutorials area.

Tutorialblog.org has a great collection of scripts, bits of html, and widgets that you can incorporate into your projects. These include cartoon bubble tool tips, form-building goodies, css tab navigations, image pop-ups, and rounded corners... and more.
