Hi there, and welcome to the new, improved site for designumber18.com. I’m Dan Levinson, Creative Director and Owner of the site and company.  I’ve been a graphic designer for over 15 years, with a degree in Graphic Design from College of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.

Here's a very simple tutorial to create some "sharp-edged" text in Photoshop, using Layer Styles. Check it out, it only takes a few minutes to master!

In my time as a designer, a very common question I’ve been asked is, “What’s the difference between a raster image and a vector image?” To start, I’ll discuss what the main differences are, describe where you’d create each type of image, and lastly, explain where each format is best used.
