No, not really. Their company is awesome and all but I don&#8217;t think I could make modern design <em>all<\/em> the time. I like to change it up.<\/p>\n<p>Then what am I doing with my design of the day? Well, today was tutorial day. I read a tutorial on <a title=\"Creating a Mac-Type Background in Photoshop\" href=\"http:\/\/psd.tutsplus.com\/tutorials-effects\/creating-a-mac-type-background-in-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\">psd tuts plus<\/a> on how to make a mac-like background and I have always wanted to know how they did it and now I know. It is much easier than I would have ever guessed. I thought they used custom-built programs that assimilated random logarithms into colors or something. Its not even close to that complex.
