Sean Alan Recognized at ADDY Awards

2008 | 07:11 | Posted by Sean Alan in:  Web Design |  Flash & Flex |  Design | 

Last Saturday (Feb. 16th) the Tucson Ad Fed held their annual ADDY award ceremony at Loews Ventana Resort. The only piece I submitted was the Tucson Survivors web site and DVD packaging graphics. It’s kind of expensive for non-members at $100 per entry but I felt it had a pretty good shot at winning something.

The Ad Fed informed entrants by email if they received an award —but not specifically to encourage people to attend the ceremony. It was such an exciting night to begin with although I would never have predicted the course of the evening’s events!

Creating Opacity Masks in Illustrator

2006 | 01:31 | Posted by Sean Alan in:  Illustrator |  Tutorials |  Design | 

While Photoshop is probably more widely used to create web site designs, I find Adobe Illustrator faster and easier to use. In the last several versions, more and more features found in Photoshop have made their way into Illustrator such as blending modes and masking. In this article I’ll show you how to create opacity masks for some pretty sweet effects in Illustrator.
