![]() The people from Google Webmasters launched a very good e-book called Search Engine Optimization Guide for webmasters. There’s explained what does Search Engine Optimization mean and what must a webmaster do to get a better place in the search engine. The guide covers a lot of common areas like improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text, and more areas that webmasters might consider optimizing. They are also giving you some advices for things to do or not to do on your website, some links to other resources that help expand the explanation of the topics in the guide. They also say that they plan to update this guide at regular intervals with new suggestion regarding the optimizing of a website and more advices.

Hello and welcome to our 16th tutorial on AREA 1! You want a business card, don’t you? Of course. This is the most important element of your visual identity. It’s the first thing people see when they meet you. Here’s a little tutorial that will help you to create your own business card. But remember one thing: it’s all about your imagination. ![]() So, let’s get started! Open your Adobe Photoshop and start a new project with the following settings: Select the Rectangle Tool (U) and draw 2 rectangles in the bottom part of our image, one smaller (the 2nd color which you’ll use in the project) and one bigger (with a darker color than the background). On the top rectangle add a gradient with the form: darker color – brighter color – darker color, but not too dark. The angle must be 0. Create a new layer, choose the Gradient Tool (G) with 2 colors: one color will be the same as the background and one color will be white. It should be a radial gradient. Transform the background into a layer by right clicking on it and choosing Layer From Background. Now merge the radial gradient layer and the newly created layer from background into one layer. You can do this by selecting the 2 layer and pressing CTRL + E. On the bottom rectangle layer type your telephone number with a darker gray to a brighter gray gradient and again to the same darker gray; your website written with the 2nd color that you’ve choose above, same with a darker – brighter – darker gradient and your e-mail, using the same gradient that you’ve used for the telephone number. Bring your logo to our project. Right click on the layer and go to Blending Options > Drop Shadow. Add the name of your company. Write your name (go to Blending Options > Gradient Overlay – From white to a bright gray, Angle 0 & then go to Bevel & Emboss and add some little of this) and then write your occupation using the same gradient as above, but not the Bevel & Emboss. Here’s my final result: Screenshot 11. Download the project here. (Size: 1.81 Mb) You can discuss this tutorial on the forum, click HERE. 218 Fonts Pack
