Konfigurasi yahud Adobe Photoshop CS6 untuk screen design

Karena banyak beraktifitas pada desain untuk screen (web & mobile), sedikit mau share mengenai konfigurasi default saya pada Photoshop CS6.

Optimasi Color Settings yang saya set ke “Monitor RGB - Display” pada working space di Edit - Color Settings. Karena hasil render pada web browser sedikit berbeda ketika warna sudah oke di Photoshop. 

Lalucheck ”Don’t Color Manage This Document” pada Edit - Assign Profile setelah dokumen baru terbuka.

Pixel Snap, ini penting, bagi yang perfeksionis, kritis, serta sangat perhatian akan detail pada setiap pixel. Namun semenjak CS6, opsi pixel snap dipindah ke Preferences - General - “check” Snap Vector Tool and transforms to pixel grid.

Grid, sebenarnya opsi ini setiap desainer punya sudut pandang yang berbeda. Eeetapi, kalo saya pribadi untuk masalah grid saya set menjadi 10:10 untuk Gridline serta Subdivisions pada Preferences - Guides, Grid.

Terakhir, disaat Save For Web pastikan uncheck “Convert To sRGB”.

Dari kesemua konfigurasi diatas saya lakukan pada setiap Mac saya. Dari sekian banyak konfigurasi yang ada, mungkin di atas merupakan konfigurasi esensial untuk desain screen saya. Bagi saya, setiap desainer mempunyai masing-masing konfigurasi yang memudahkan serta memaksimalkan kinerjanya. Disini saya hanya berbagi dan saling belajar dari sana-sini.

Saya juga berada pada Dribbble, Behance, dan Twitter - untuk Twitter, jangan berharap banyak saya berkicau tentang desain dan sekitarnya.

“How much does a website cost?” and other pricing questions

folyo:

If there’s one thing nobody seems to want to talk about, it’s pricing. Most designers don’t publish their rates, and good luck getting a company to tell you how much they paid for their site.

The results of this situation is that it can be pretty hard to know how much to spent on design. Spend too much, and you’ll be accused of wasting money like those $300,000 logos you read about. Spent too little, and you risk ending up with a crappy “designed by my 14 year old nephew” website.
