Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

At least for now, Layers Magazine  , the how-to magazine for everything Adobe, is giving away a free issue.

You know that scene in the Indiana Jones movies (Indy made Dumbworld want to be an archaelogist when we were little) where the airplane flies over the map and a line forms showing the path of the flight (I think they use this effect in Little Miss Sunshine as well).  Well, Videomaker.com shows you how to create this effect in their How to Use Adobe After Effects & Photoshop to Create the Line-Map Animation Effect tutorial.

Also, if you try it out, let me know and I will post a link to your efforts.

Free Textures from TextureKing

Dumbworld has been using Photoshop a lot lately,  so finding Free Textures from TextureKing was a blessing (via Layers Magazine).
