I’ve been flirting with the idea of creating a basic Photoshop course for well over a year now, and since I had more time on my hands (as I’ve quit my job, if you don’t already know), the idea is becoming reality as “The Secret” states.

Who is it For

This course was prepared for you, casual cool, talented architects, or designers that want to learn Photoshop in an easy relaxed manner. I hope to be able to help you with that, as I would have wanted to receive help when I first started using the software.

Why Another Photoshop Course, Dude?

Yes, there are a lot of courses and guides out there on the subject, and you can go ahead and hunt them down if you like. I won’t stop you. I believe this one is suited for architects best, and it gets you through the basics in a simple (and coherent) manner.

Weather you’re a freshman in architecture, or a full grown architect, you should read these quotes because inspiration is something we, human beings just can’t get enough, but on the other hand it is food for the brain. (and quoting dead people makes you look smart and… credible)

Here are 101 famous quotes and quotations in no particular order from some of our “idols”:

#1. A harmonious design requires that nothing be added or taken away.
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio

#2. God is in the details
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

#3. Less is more.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

#4. The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright

#5. Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.
Frank Lloyd Wright

One of our readers outlined a problem a lot of architects, and probably interior designers sometimes, when they have the image of an existing house their clients want to renovate or just want to add some small improvements, like a driveway texture, or a different color or material for the facade, and want to deliver a fast result.

This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to edit an image in Photoshop CS5 (earlier versions work just fine) so then your clients can see the improvements they want on their house, and so they can compare the proposed situation with the existing one, and decide on a solution.

1. First you want to open the image you want to edit. In this case was a one story house with vinyl sidings as our reader wanted to know how he can make the adjustments we talked about in the beginning.

This is a special occasion, and not only because it’s a holiday, but because now you have the chance to acquire the things you desire at the best prices available.

And because we like to find buy stuff now and then, and also help our fellows architects and designers out there, we’ve selected the best deals we could find on the items we would like to buy for our personal use.

So here it goes, a list sorted in descending order:
