So the new Microsoft Office 2011 for mac is out. It has some promising updates and rumors are that it runs a lot better too. What caught my eye though was the new branding for Office 2011. Microsoft hired well known product design company Frog to come up with the new look (for more on this check out microsoft office redesigning and icon).
Now Lets check out what LOOKS different about Microsoft Office 2011.
At Unbrewed we like to give back. So for all those designers out there working on Branded Youtube Channels this one is for you!

Ever need a place holder image thats 250×250(or any size) and have to open up photoshop create the 250×250 jpg, save for web, upload to your server, grab url, and paste in your code? well that sounds like alot of work. NOT ANYMORE! check this sweet website out.
HTML 5 has created a lot of buzzzzzzz. It has been named “The Flash Killer”. Which in my opinion is wrong… at least for the next couple years till technology throws another wrench in things, flash will still be VERY useful . There are however things that HTML & JQuery can pull off that warrant’s projects not being built in flash. Enough of my POV on HTML5 v.s. Flash.
“Never Mind The Bullets” was a created by Microsoft & Steaw Web Design. It shows a different approach to the comic book experience with enhanced effects and movement with parallax. Move your mouse around and check out this awesome example of what HTML 5 is capable of.
Sometimes quick and easy is the best route to go. If your in need of some 3D text and don’t have 3D software but you do have illustrator… THAT’S ALL YOU WILL NEED! Crack open illustrator and follow this quick tutorial to create simple but quality 3D text. Enjoy! oh and watch the video to find the BONKERS Easter egg
This trick has actually evaded me for many years… why i dont know. Maybe not enough time in illustrator. BUT here it is. If you are creating wire frames or multiple page documents, you can do this in illustrator by duplicating the art board. Watch the video to see how its done and bask in the glory of knowing. KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE.
This looks really good. It reminds me of the Helvetica documentary.
