File this one under “R”, for Ridiculously COOL! The kind folks at Design Commission have created an aluminum stencil in the shape of an iPhone. It features all the uniquely iPhone shapes and icons that any designer would need when sketching out their latest and greatest iPhone App. I haven’t done any iPhone App designing but I just may get one of these for the “cool” factor of it. It cost $16.95, which for a piece of flatten soda can is a bit pricey, but for this awesome template it’s not too bad. Unfortunately, they only made 100 of them, so you’d better hurry or you may be left with the flattened soda can option…

Update: I just bought one, so at the most 99 left.
Maybe I’m a sucker.
Hey all. Sorry I haven’t updated in bit. I promise it will be coming soon. Work, school, and schtuff have been pretty busy lately.

Also, if you haven’t yet added your information to “Designers on Twitter” and would like to, go here and do it!

Did any one check out that last link?
Ok, so here’s the idea. I’m sure it’s not original, but I think its a cool idea, so I’d like to give it a try. Each designer will post their information as a comment and this list will serve as a contact list, or small community for great design resources.
I’m sure, as a designer, many of you are familiar with MyFont’s site What The Font!. Well, if not, here is a brief overview. Say you are looking at a design but can’t digure out what font is used in it. Enter What The Font! (WTF!). Simply upload the image to WTF! and it will scan the image, ask you for letter recognition, and then suggest a list of fonts that it could be. Usually, it is very good at detecting the font.
Now enter WTF! plus the iPhone. MyFont has created an FREE iPhone app version of WTF!. It does the same great thing as the site, but with the ease of mobility. This is great for spotting designs/fonts in the wild.
Take a picture of the font in question, crop it for better accuracy…
Walk through the letter verification process…
Take a look at the font suggestions…
Choose which font you like and email the font info to yourself or open it up in Safari…
This is a very cool app that will be a great addition to the arsenal of any designer on the move. Go get it here!

So AJ at Phire Design created some really cool Photoshop brushes. I like the concept for this set. They are old fairytale images that have been distressed to add a nice, kind of eerie, grunge effect to them. Personally, they remind me of the darkness of some of the old original fairytale stories. Now days the tales have a much happier ending, but that wasn’t always the case. Most fairytale were created to warn, even scare kids into doing good, or obeying their parents. Anyways, no matter what images these brushes conjure up in your creative mind, they are a great addition for all designers. Stop by his site and take sure to leave him a comment. Go get ‘em!
If you like that destroyed brush look, head over to Bittbox and take gander at his tutorial on a similar effect. infact, you might want to pick up these heraldry vectors and distress using Bittbox tutorials.

Hey, go support I ♥ Vector. If you’ve never heard if them, they are a great site that offers tons of free vectors. The designer is having a baby and needs some financial help to keep the site going. Plus, they are giving away a great vector pack worth $14.99. Please find it in your heart to donate a buck or two. Go donate!

Here are some great Heraldry Animal silhouettes from AllSilhouettes. Everything from Pegasus to Dragons, lots of vectors for anytime of designs. While on the subject of Heraldry, go check out this great tutorial on Bittbox. You’ll learn some great tricks to distressing and destroying your Heraldry vectors. Go get ‘em!
