In this week’s collection of cool web findings, we have a bunch of tutorials for both Illustrator and Photoshop, comprising of icons, lighting effects illustrations and web interface elements. To add some variety to the mix, I’ve also thrown in a link to new social site that seems to be exploding onto the scene.

DailyBooth
DailyBooth seems to be exploding onto the scene lately. It’s a social website where users upload a photo of themselves daily, allowing great personal connections. I bet there’s a bunch of you thinking ‘What’s the point? / Why would I want to do that?’ – You probably said the same about Twitter.
Anyway, I’m enjoying giving it a whirl. If anyone else is a user hook me up at Dailybooth.com/chrisspooner.
Great round-up, I’m trying to improve my technique with Photoshop Light Effects atm & missed that post on DS so going to check it out now. Love the Mac OS X Folder Tutorial – my first tutorial is posted on Tutorial9 on the 16th (I think!) ;)
