Once in a while we come across a fantastic website that we find very helpful in our daily reading. Deziner Folio is a blog full of fantastic design resources with an emphasis on tips, tricks, and downloads. The site is run by a talented photographer who understands composition and colour theory, and how to apply those elements to design. Check out the Flickr stream for examples of some amazing photography.
Here’s a brief list of some areas of interest that we found very useful for web and graphic design:
Simple Photographic Results in Photoshop
If you’re new to editing photos, or are just looking to expand your bag of Photoshop tricks, this post is for you. The focus here is on four different ways to enhance images: Overlay, Gradient Map, Levels, and Curves. Also, as an added bonus, all of the actions described are offered as a free download. 
Ultimate Web 2.0 Layer Styles Download
One of our absolute favourite resources on this site is the free download of a custom Web 2.0 Photoshop Layer Styles set. When doing web design, achieving the perfect Web 2.0 look is very important. These styles will speed up the design process by having this glossy look achieved in one click. 
A Great Approach to CSS and XHTML Coding
For all of the coders out there, this post describes a great way to organize your CSS files. This is a major issue for a lot of companies when files are getting passed around because everyone needs to be able to find what they’re looking for in order to keep things moving forward in a timely manner. 
Top 50 Super Cool Free Icon Sets
This post features 50 cool free icon sets. This is a great way to personalize your computer and avoid having to use the default icons. Another great use for these is to jazz up website navigation by representing each section with an icon beside the navigation text. 
We hope you enjoy exploring this site. There are many useful posts that link out to other blogs of interest.
