Following up on my post featuring the great Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper) is another legend you should really know about: Deke. He has recently put out a video called ’101 Photoshop Tips in 5 minutes’.  It is set to music – Eminem influenced.  (Just watch)

Better recognize.

Some choice lyrics:

“no background colors, keep your coding real neat,
tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet…
when you use CSS, you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker“

Props to MoSerious!!

It’s already been mentioned on some other design blogs, for example here and here — but if you haven’t heard of this yet – mark your calendars:

MTV reality show: The Engine Room

16 people will be flown to New York City commencing on or about July 18, 2008 through on or about August 16, 2008. They will compete in teams of 4 participants each for prizes by creating animations, websites, short films, sound mixes and more

Winning team takes $400k in cash and gear. Casting ends June 30, if anyone is interested in signing up!

The show has a lot of appeal for me, being in the design field – even though I have never been real big on reality TV shows. I just hope there will be more focus on the actual designs and the things the artists and designers are coming up with, and less something like The Real World.
