This is my first Question/Answer post here at BittBox, and I plan on doing this more often. All of these questions came in from twitter, so if you have a Photoshop or Illy question you need answered, you can leave a comment here, or send me a tweet. I’ll save all the questions that come in and try to answer as many as I can. To kick things off I have some answers below, just remember, I can’t answer every single question that comes in because of 2 fundamental reasons: 1) I may not know the answer, or 2) I may not understand what you were asking. Ok, lets try to de-mystify Illy and PS a little, shall we? Thanks for everyone who send in the tweets :)

Here’s an interesting fact: each year, Americans spill over 9 million gallons of gasoline, which is the equivalent of an oil supertanker. I’ve captured about a quart of that gasoline for the textures today. This oil may not have been used to power a car, but perhaps you can offer it some redemption by finding some good uses for it in your designs.

Now this is what I call democracy at work. A week or two ago, Alex and I opened up our ears and let the votes roll in about what kind of vectors you wanted the most. Originally, we were going to choose just one genre for the vector pack, but instead, we decided a ‘variety pack’ was in order. So here they are folks, the exclusive vector pack from Designious that you all voted for. The pack includes everything you see below but here’s a quick list: buildings, cute animals, floral, seamless retro patterns, seamless boroque patterns, and musical instruments. A big thanks goes out to Alex and the Designious team for their generous contribution to the community, and props on some mad vector skills :) Don’t forget to leave Alex some feedback in the comments!

I’ve got another High Resolution Set of Brushes for everyone! I call them “Romantic Disasters,” but you can call them whatever you like. My last set of brushes, Destroyed Heraldry was pretty popular among the comments that came in, so I decided to do a similar set with a different theme, not to mention we just saw Valentine’s day come and go. Hope you like ‘em :) I’ve got CS1, CS3, CS4 and High-Res PNGs for non-Photoshoppers. There are 10 brushes in the set, and they’re 2500px.

Ahhh stone textures, the staple of every good texture diet. Layer them, tile them, map them, they are as versatile as can be. Hopefully you can find some good uses for the ones below. Enjoy!
