400+ Time Saving Photoshop Actions
Photoshop Actions are extremely useful in both saving time as well as learning new features that you may not know. They can be used to help standardize your final project better, cut down on repetitive tasks, and to assist you in a bit of creative inspiration. We have collected a handful of great (and free) downloadable PS Actions in this article and also included a nice tutorial on creating your own Actions.

swissmiss studio coffee + chat
Our studio was filling up quickly…
Scott Bellina had one coffee too many :)
Tom Tinervin toasting to our first ‘virtual skype guest’ Billy Davenport in Knoxville.
So today was the kick-off to our new coffee+chat series here at our studio. What a great turn out! Thanks for everyone that made it out to DUMBO so early and showed the will-power to walk up 6 floors! (What great timing for our elevator to break down!)
I met lots of interesting folks and simply wished there would have been more time! But don’t despair, there will be another one of these events next month! The plan is to connect each meetup with a topic and a potential short presentation. If you have a topic you’re passionate about and would like to present at one of our upcoming events, email me. Also, if you run design studio in DUMBO (or Manhattan) and would like to host one of these mornings, email me as well. You can view some pix of today’s event here.
Thanks again to Saul from Freshbooks who sponsored today’s breakfast!

Erica Shires came to our coffee+chat meeting this morning and gave me a beautiful set of postcards. (thank you again) I just had a look at her site and the above series caught my eye.
the women
In the viral, an actor play a gay guy who tells his clueless girlfriend that he was hired by a viral marketing firm to date her because she is a “social connector” in order to create buzz for the film “The women”. It’s pretty funny, especially to people in the ad/marketing world, as it takes target audience insight to the extreme and pokes fun at the obsession to “make viral work for you” in a funny way.

where’s swissmiss?
Peter Hossli just pointed me to his latest Observations Post in which he references today’s article in the NYTimes about Design Bloggers, written by Penelope Green. Aww… thank you. I feel honored. (It doesn’t bother me that I am not included, but am touched by Peter’s sentiment!)
Bingo!
Looks like the folks over at the Denver Egotist cracked the mysterious code of Schtock.com:
Didn’t we all suspect it? Congrats guys!
