Hi, hope you had a great week end! I know it’s been a while since I posted something, so here it goes…

In one of my previous trend reviews, I had mentioned about the cofeecup trend. What if you drop the cofee on your table or paper? yes, it becomes another trend

Do you think adding some coffee stains to your design would make it look better? Here goes a list of hand-picked designs that proves it! I’ve included links to tutorials on how to create such stains in photoshop as well.

What would you need to create these cool hot stains?

Now, how to create these brushes?

And finally, a twitter theme

I hope you enjoyed this post. Stay tuned!

ProductiveDreams is looking different? Yeah! infact, I planned to redesign long back, but couldn’t since the Best Wordpress Contest was going on. Redesigning PD was obviously a tough job since I had to do something better and usable, than the previous design.

This is the third time I’m redesigning PD (I would rather call this a facelift). I’ve used some jquery to make things lively

So what are the major changes?

1. The Global Search

Type something(meaningful) on the Search field on the top right and wait for a second or two.

2. My social network

This section lets you to connect with me. Be my friend!

3. The Twitter Bird

I don’t want to explain this. Just move your mouse over the twitter bird.

4. The JQuery(moving) tabs

A simple JQuery animation.

5. Digg and Retweet buttons

You can see this in the post detail pages.

6. Calendar – shows posts of the current month

7. The Page peel icons

These icons already existed in the previous design but still I think it’s worth a mention.

8. Top Commenters

I love my readers and especially those who take the pain to comment or thank me for my efforts.

Now it’s time to let me know your opinion. Do you think this design is better than the previous one? Feel free to comment here
