RIP Steve Jobs

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

How To Draw The Mac Command Key Symbol In Adobe Illustrator

Watch this fun and interesting video tutorial on how to draw the mac command key symbol in Adobe Illustrator by Deke Mclelland. He'll teach you how to draw the Mac's command key with a pretty slick 3D effect added to it, so you don't just end up with a boring shape. I always enjoy Deke's video tutorials because he's a pretty lively guy. This video is from an ongoing series called Deke's Techniques available at lynda.com. As of this posting, the series already has over 60 video tutorials covering interesting Photoshop and Illustrator projects. Learn more about it by visiting the course details page.
