Tonight, I was going through my back log of email.  I’ve always placed Michelle Brouse’s communications aside for later reading.  I like graphics, I like her graphics, and I like the way she doesn’t bomb me with emails/newsletters.  So, when I have time look stuff over, its a treat.

I got her newsletter : Headers, No fee Photoshop Tutorials, and let’s cover those COVERS!”, from October 13th.  The “No fee Photoshop Tutorials” are something……………… I just have to rave about them.  I immediately printed out (and saved what I needed to to my hard-drive) the 37 pages to ‘Designing an Ebook cover’ with Photoshop.  There is more.  She has (photoshop) tutorials for how to use:  the pen tool and create a  waffleware box.  (I have Photoshop, and sadly, under-use it.)

Michelle mentions an alternate way of creating graphics. An associate, Doug Champigny , is putting together videos (and the sales page for the vidoes) using Corel 7.0.  According to the newsletter, this way is supposed to be easier??  No Photoshop (not everyone has it), and no scripts (Another area of under-use). I couldn’t give an opinion.  I’m Photoshop oriented, but it sure is nice to know of the alternatives and options out there!! 

Next, I took at look at her site:
Ecoverfx.com. Gorgeous. Then, I downloaded her free “Graphic Design On-line” ebook. I don’t think I’ve actually looked the site over or downloaded this freebie, but I may have? Anyway, I’m going to look it over, and pass it to my subscribers. (both the site and the eboook) Of course, I couldn’t stop there. Yep, just had to see the blog (www.michellebrouse.com). I got sucked in, right away, to the 98 MegPack. What an impressive array of available graphics for Personal, Resale, MRR, and PLR rights.

Thanks, Michelle, for great tutorials! You have great graphics!!
Looking way-forward to the next newsletter!!
