The liquidlibrary Identity Challenge
The Liquidlibrary Identity ChallengeIdentity Challenge 6 tasked members with creating a business card and letterhead design for the Boston Entomological Society, using the supplied liquidlibrary illustration. Congratulations to winners Machus4u, MonkeySee and Tscpgraphics.

New in My liquidlibrary
View the ImageQuik Tips: Quik Tip 1 shows how to add detail by using Unsharp Mask in Photoshop, while Quik Tip 2 demonstrates how to use the Blend tool to make a circular frame in Illustrator.

How Tos: How To 1 provides a way to create a classic rust effect using Photoshop. And How To 2 continues in the same theme by showing how to create an ungroomed or scruffy border around an image.

Final Trick focuses on fairy tale color palettes that have a very 'young at heart' feel—almost childlike and quite playful. The current Focus provides examples of two identity makeovers, covering the redesigns of a farming magazine and an events complex.

The Ideas area has again been updated with real-world examples of liquidlibrary content in action, with 43 new ones to provide inspiration. We'll end with the U Design area, which showcases member design projects entered in the liquidlibrary Annual Design Competition.
