Digital Brushes Sourcebook- by Emily Portnoi



This book has 300 'original Royalty-free Illustrator brushes' (on a CD) which could be very useful for newby digital artists out there! It also contains various tutorials showing you step by step how to achieve different effects. I really liked the tutorial on Vintage Photo corners....see photo..

Graphic Design Book- by Scott Witham


Creating Great Graphic Design to a budget- Scott Witham
This book is great for anyone new to graphic design (perfect for graduates just starting out in the business), but also visually satisfying for everyone else too! It's full of useful tips and explanations about creating fonts, preparing art for print, copyright, materials etc.

I'm off on holiday in a few weeks(my first proper one in 4, yes 4 years!)...If anyone has any recommendations for places to visit in Stockholm I would love to hear them.
All work and no play makes Jill a very dull girl...roll on the holiday!!!!
