The search for free, good quality texture resources has become an almost hopeless work.

It’s very subtle but if you really think about it and actually pay attention to this kind of thing you will notice that Macys.com is very easy to use. While looking for a gift for my wife I couldn’t help but notice it. It’s simple and white. It makes me feel like I’m taking a walk in one of their super mall stores, with the smell of fragrances throughout. Looking at the sweater I can almost feel the cashmere. They must have put a lot of research and development hours into this masterpiece.

It is designed to make you want to buy something before you even know what it is you were doing on this site.

Adobe is celebrating its 25th year in existence. Started in December of 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, Adobe has grown to become a $2.5 billion-a-year-company. Not bad for a couple of refugees from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center–the same place Steve Jobs went to visit to “discover” the GUI and the computer mouse.

How is that even remotely possible? The medium certainly looks alive, well and, if anything, overpopulated. There are hordes of photographers out there, working with back-to-basics pinhole cameras and pixeled images measured in gigabytes, with street photography taken by cell phones and massive photo “shoots” whose crews, complexity and expense resemble those of movie sets.
