Editor's Corner: Enter Our Stinkin' Badge Contest

Gene Gable's articles are usually a visual tour of some historical trend, such as type in the 1970s. In this week's article on badge design, Gene does delve into badges' past, but then he takes the topic into the present with tongue-in-cheek badges he designed for today's creative pro. Do you know someone who should wear this one?

Now it's your turn. Download the blank badges Gene provided, customize them, and send your designs to editor@creativepro.com by January 28, 2008. We'll give our top five favorites a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com!

You'll find the article and the blank files at http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/26264.html.

Synchronize QuarkXPress Content

With QuarkXPress 7, you can synchronize content across multiple boxes and multiple layouts. That makes it simple to keep words, pictures, and many of the stylistic attributes of boxes or lines in harmony throughout a project. David Blatner shows you how to synch and unsych content, and how to create and edit composition zones.

"Blue in the Face" Is Not a Good Look

SkinTunes is a Photoshop plug-in that adjusts skin tones with an amazingly simple but powerful interface. It's also handy for correcting photographs shot in mixed lighting situations. Ben Long's review lets you know if it's worth the price.

View Source: Design a Dynamic Web Site without Heavy Coding

Dave Sawyer McFarland explains Dreamweaver CS3's widgets: page elements made up of JavaScript files that add dynamic elements, such as drop-down navigation menus, tabbed panels, and interactive data tables, to a Web page. And the best part is, you don't have to know JavaScript to use them! Dave shows you how to insert and modify a widget using Dreamweaver's graphical interface.
