Internet Killed the Video Star: A Guide to Creating Video for the Web

My good friend Aharon Rabinowitz has just released an excellent new DVD training through the Creative Cow Master Series.

This is the first in depth video training to tackle high-end video compression for the web in a straight forward, non-techie way.

As usual Aharon makes even tedious tasks and explanations fun and entertaining. This is the kind of stuff all web developers and motion artists need to know in order to display their work properly on the internet.

I highly recommend picking this up.

Here is the PSD file for a simple image created entirely with vector shapes and custom layer styles. The benefit of setting up your files this way is that you can now insert any photo (or video) into this image and the grunge scratches and reflections will appear over the photo, integrating the whole. You can also resize this file up to print size - and it will scale beautifully.

Grunge-style

Included are both the gunge and clean versions in separate folders inside the psd.

Hope it helps!
