Terri Stone
During her years in publishing, Terri Stone has written and edited everything from blog posts to books, on topics ranging from livestock waste lagoons to burning bras. However, the bulk of her publishing experience is in the fields of design and photography and it's there that she feels at home.
She was editor in chief of CreativePro.com and its sister publication,
InDesign Magazine, from February 2005 to February 2012. Before that, Terri was an editor at
Macworld and
Publish magazines. She has also contributed to the books
Web Design Studio Secrets and
The Macintosh Bible.
Terri is now Online Community Manager for the Creative Suite at Adobe Systems.

Here's an excellent demonstration of the rapid rise of webfonts: In May 2010, Google Labs rolled out a beta with 18 typefaces you could use on websites. As of today, Google has 288 webfont families, all freely available for you to use on any site.
And that's great. But many Web designers begin their process in Photoshop, a fact that Extensis acknowledged a few months ago when it released the Web Font plug-in for Photoshop. This plug-in lets you use Extensis' WebINK webfonts in Photoshop comps without paying for them.

If you regularly need to enlarge photographs a lot with little -- if any -- quality degradation, Alien Skin Software's Blow Up program is worth a look. This $199 plug-in for Photoshop (and now Lightroom, too) recently updated to version 3.
Alien Skin says that a redesigned user interface, which includes standard size presets, makes Blow Up 3 easier to use. While that's all fine and good, what's most important in an app of this type is image clarity. Alien Skin says that's improved in version 3, as well.
Monograms — those symbols made up of two or more overlapping letters — have been around for thousands of years. Nowadays they're most commonly created for weddings, but you may also use them to evoke certain eras or a regal feeling.
