I’m 31 years old. I’m a designer. I’m a teacher. I’m an ACE Adobe. I’m italian. I’m sagittarius. I live in florence, Itay.
I’m a photoshop lover, you know, but i have to say that Adobe Fireworks is an excellent software.
Basically, if you want the best mix between vector and raster, Fireworks is the best choice.
The only problem (specially for a beginner) is that there are just few good tutorials so i decided to prepare a roundup with a list of 23 nice examples.
Let me know what you think and if you know other cool tutorials!
I’m very proud to present my first wordpress theme: iLoveGrey.
I really enjoyed making this and i hope you’ll like it as well.
Basically it has a nice color scheme, a simple menu, two columns and a clean footer with 3 boxes.
UPDATE: Sorry the theme is not available now

Guys, this is a christmas gift for you to say thank you for this amazing year.
Here you have the BEST and just the best 65 business cards of the year hand picked directly from my most famous posts and from behance, flickr and OMG it even has a watermark.
If you like this post please stumble this, add it to Delicious or digg it!
Another BIG collection. Just free items. As usual i’ll update the post during this month so…if you like it please add it to delicious, stumble or digg!
At this moment (december 9th) there are:
Here you a have a collection of cool frameworks to create CSS layouts.
I don’t want to enter into the debate about the use of these frameworks.
So please don’t write comments like “you are totally missing the point, the grids are unuseful…” or “i prefer to use my own hand-code for development” and blablabla…
If you don’t like frameworks, please, just skip this post.
I would like to have a constructive post about the main differences and the most important advantages\disadvantages.
Personally i love the 960 grid system but i like also blueprint and malo.
In general when i use a framework is because i can have a rapid prototype of the final website, because there are easy to remember CSS classes and because i can have a cross-browser object without headaches.
What do you think? Which is your favorite and why?
This is the first of a new series of tutorials about Photoshop CS4 and its new features.
We will create abstract circles in real 3D. To complete this tutorial you need Photoshop CS4 (…), a good graphic card and 5 minutes.
The effect i want to recreate is the typical style of James White but in “3D mode” and in a quickest way.
The ball created in that tutorial is amazing but has two disadvantages:
1) You have to complete 15 steps to obtain a good result and you have to change a lot of blending modes.
2) The final image is flat. A normal 2D layer.
With my tutorial you’ll be able to achieve the same effect but in 5 steps, without playing with the blending options and the result will be a REAL 3D layer.
So…we can start.
Here you have the first part of the collection.
Guys, in this roundup we have two months (October-November 2008). 40 AMAZING new business cards.
Let me know what you think!
Another personal work. Just Photoshop.
I tried to merge my style with that of James White
and….this is the result.
I love to manipulate colors so i can’t no appreciate his works.
James is one of the most inspirational graphic designer around.
