Abduzeedo Updates and T-Shirt Giveaway

março 13, 2009 from PauloGabriel's blog

"With great power there must come great responsibility". We are well aware of this amazing quote by uncle Ben. For that, we'd like to apologise to all of you who tried to visit Abduzeedo this week and didn't make, because our server was down.

For some time now, Abduzeedo has been growing a lot, thanks to all of you guys. But unfortunately, our server needs also grow with us, and sometimes it doesn't follow our pace. That's why Abduzeedo was down for at least 2 days this week. We didn't intend for that, and we are really sorry. Also, we'd like to get your opinions on a nice server, that supports gigantic sites with gigantic traffic, and we will give away an Abduzeedo T-shirt for that. If you know any, let us know!

And today, we also would like to announce the winners of the last 2 giveaways that we started running some weeks ago: "Designing for the Web book" and the "500 Postcards by PrintPrintPrint.Biz". So, I'll just cut the little talk and announce it. :)

Tutorial para Design de um Website: Caso Wellknown.as
Tutorial para Design de um Website: Caso Wellknown.as
No mês passado conheci alguns caras que estão trabalhando em um projeto muito legal envolvendo uma aplicação do iPhone e eles me convidaram para fazer o design do site do projeto, chamado Wellknown.as. Eu gostei muito da idéia e comecei a procurar por referências e inspiração para começar o design propriamente dito. Então neste tutorial eu vou mostrar a vocês um pouco de como eu criei o site usando Fireworks. É claro que você pode fazer a mesma coisa no Photoshop, os comandos mudarão um pouco mas o processo é praticamente o mesmo.
