Posted 632 days ago 24Interesting list, but I’d be wary of using anything from DeviantArt, especially for commercial projects. There’s too much uncertainty around the licensing.

Posted 690 days ago 18Must have taken a whole lot of effort to Google “Photoshop layer styles” and then copy and paste them in here.
That must be what true blogging is all about: Telling people they’re too stupid to use Google.

Posted 674 days ago 20yes but they did it so YOU wouldnt have to go searching around for all of them….never satisfied are you…looser. Go cry to mommie..
Joseph McCullough
Posted 665 days ago 21Reading through this is the same thing as reading through SERPs. A lot of these roundups are simply mindless and add no more value than a search engine. These aren’t hard to find. 750 is just overkill.

Posted 644 days ago 23You know, Joe, nobody forced you to read the post. It must be awesome to be so superior. :)
Zach
Posted 624 days ago 27Must take a whole lot of effort to spend your time going from post to post criticizing everyone else. We’re sorry you got stuffed in your locker everyday and bullies took your lunch money. It’s not our fault! We all know your type and nobody cares what you have to say. Find another hobby besides being an a-hole.

Posted 811 days ago 1These are great. I always try to create my own effects…but sometimes you just need that certain effect that the client wants. THX!
