I am developing two web sites for Gary Mayes, Vice President of U.S. Ministries for Church Resource Ministries. One site is his personal/professional blog associated with his profile on CRM’s web site. The other project is an online magazine focused on the topic of leadership. It will eventually reside at noredcapes.com. Gary is investing his 25+ years of leadership experience into a series of valuable articles that will soon be available online.
In order to brand “No Red Capes,” I thought I’d try my hand at drawing a comic book super hero. It was pretty fun. I am really glad that I finally quite the bad habit of doing everything in Photoshop — learning Illustrator was the best thing I did this past year to increase me graphic design abilities. The tools in Illustrator really unlock one’s artistic abilities. My favorite tool is the simplify tool (object –> path –> simplify). I often use the pen tool to create a rough outline of the shape I want, and then use the simplify tool to smooth out the shape into something more attractive.

That’s cool. He seems to want to categorize his posts in similar ways to me.
