This week's videocast is sponsored by the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
Here's what you'll find in this week's videocast:
News
Windows users looking for help with workflow automation should try Skylight, a new automation utility that lets you launch applications, find files, and execute actions with just a few keystrokes.
Lots of new and affordable digital cameras were announced at last week's annual Consumer Electronics Show. For info on the new models, head to http://tinyurl.com/2dbqye.
If you're thinking about a new page-layout application, iStudio Publisher from CFour is worth a look.
Top 5 Web Sites of the Week
1. Chuck Green's Ideabook is a very useful site, with expert ideas and tutorials about graphic design, Web design, page layout, business marketing, and more.
2. Typetester is an online application for previewing how fonts will appear on-screen. The application's primary role is to make a web designer's life easier.
3. If you're looking for a symbol that represents a word or a phase, Symbols.com is a site for you to get familiar with. It contains more than 1,600 articles about 2,500 Western signs, arranged into 54 groups according to their graphic characteristics and is searchable by word or symmetry and elements.
4. Buzzword makes it easy for you to create a document from any computer connected to the Web, then share it with colleagues, and review and revise it as a team. As a visual creative, you'll appreciate Buzzword's clean and easy-to-use interface.
5. I'm at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco this week, and I'll be bringing you show-floor reports and big-name interviews all week.
So my final web site of the week is this one, Creativepro.com! Check the front page every day for a new videocast.
