Very nice tutorials, could it be possible to see a tutorial on how to transform ordinary RGB images to one that look like Che Guevara? I made one for my blog banner, but it took forever and I think there must be an easier way.
Thanx and keeo up the good work
Great article on creating some most amazing shapes in Illustrator. Some of the shapes and objects really look as if made in 3D.

this is a great post, i’ve waiting to release this after the first theme design, i’m trying to learn how to integrate it on wordpress as i’ve don’t have enough time to tweak the css for that, but now this helps me a lot to work. Thank you so much
I love the orange and the “simple organic shapes” the best. Simple design if often good design. The mesh gradients of the gum ball machine really help to give it depth. The Illustrator shield also has a nice depth with the faint gray lines – I didn’t even notice them the first time I looked!
I like your site. Keep the great design coming!Thanks.

Beautiful tutorial! Thanks!! Adobe should have a tutorial directory with great tutorials like yours… would make using PS / Illustrator so much easier for newbs like myself.
wow marvelous, I’m new to illustrator and am creating a logo based on a crest and you got some great helpers for me to get going
This is an excellent list of shape design tutorials- thanks for sharing.
I am not a regular user of Illustrator but this will definitely push me to give it a go.
