Thanks to My Only Photo blog I learned that the October is a month dedicated to fight against breast cancer.

Being supportive to similar actions and as woman I decided to make one thematic "Going Pink for October" illustration.

There is like almost a two weeks until Halloween. So, I've created "Trick or Treat tote bag" using my own Photoshop brushes.

Photoshop brushes can be downloaded here and commercial usage is allowed just check commercial use of brushes info

And now something completely different!

Following the rumors on more and more people claiming to be Vampires, I decided to start a magazine "Vampire's Health", or at least design a cover page in case anyone ever decides to make a magazine for that particular "type" of people.

So, since I took the time and effort to make this cool cover page, thought I might as well show you how it's done :) so if you are into or plan to become a professional graphic designer this will be funny and cool way for you to learn how to make a cover for the magazine.

Let me show you how I created a simple web shop icon (shop trolley).

In Illustrator (or similar vector software) make a simplified shop trolley "L" shape (the handle + basis).

Now, we will select the basis line and copy it two more times to get something similar to E shape where the left vertical line end up above the top horizontal line. Draw one vertical line that will close the shape.

As for the wheels, create two circles below the basis of the trolley. Make one ellipse and then a second one, smaller in the middle of the first one. (Do that using Ellipse tool). Select both ellipses, and subtract them with "Pathfinder -> Subtract from shape area" option.

There is our wheel :)

Copy that wheel and position them under the basis.

Now for the background circle ...
