Greetings friends.

Here is some great news for all of you aspiring designers that are looking for the tools to take your game to the next level.

Springleap.com has now launched its very own Tutorials and Advice for designers.
This section has been a long time coming. I don’t know how many requests I have received asking for advice on designs and general hints & tips in the past….in any case it was LOTS!

Basically the Tutorials and Advice for designers section is filled with anything from write-ups on various subjects to links for online video tutorials.
It’s not only a vault of tutorials, but it also strives to give designers a serious cache of inspirational discussions, in order to get those creative juices flowing.

Thus far we have had articles on creating custom fonts, vintage effects and using transparency tricks.
The articles may not be specific for the requirements of the actual Springleap competition, but also cater to designers other interests.

We also want to empower our designers by giving them guidance in regards to their submissions which go beyond physical design. For instance I put together a blog that revolves around Submission Write-ups and how they can affect community votes. Important stuff that may go underneath the average designer’s radar.

There is something for everyone, so jump across and take a lookie at our Tutorials and Advice for designers blog for yourself.

Greetings design fans.

One of the coolest theme competitions to hit Springleap.com in recent months has to be our super styling, old school Retro theme competition.
After a fierce battle of 8-bit insanity Kingslip emerged victorious and took the win!

Kingslip has been submitting designs to our competitions for as long as I can remember. Indeed it’s difficult to keep track of all the wicked cool designs that he has sent us over the compo eons.
His winning design I mean like WOAH is however his very first winning design on Springleap.com
So this is indeed a very special moment for a guy that has added so much design power to our site.

I mean like WOAH is a design that reminds me of the days when our grandparents would wear tinfoil hats on their heads in order to survive the telepathic mind controlling powers of little green men from Mars.

The Buck Rogers helmet, complete with ultra “sci-fi” spaceship on top, really made me laugh.
This design is so awesomely retro its crazy.

Sawubona everyone.

The soccer fever seems to have spread through the populace at lightning speeds…or at least the speed of sound thanks to our local vuvuzelas.
It seems that even the workplace has been affected by the soccer spirit. Well, in the positive sense I mean!
There is one little element that we need to be careful about. That is of course the bane of World Cup traffic.

As we all know the BIG GAME…that is, South Africa vs. The country that is going to be crushed by our power (Mexico), will kickoff at 4:00pm.
That means of course that if you want to catch the big game that you will have to get off work early.
Remember if you are working in certain parts of Cape Town traffic will be absolutely INSANE.
Take for instance my girlfriend who is going to have to get from Woodstock to Sea Point during one of the games. Dude, going through town for her will be nearly impossible. So she will have to take the back route to get home. Shoooo, I hope everyone can get home in time for the match!

The Uruguay vs. France game will commence at 8:30pm. So hopefully everyone will be where they need to be by that time. There will be a super colossal football fever in Cape Town, until very late. Remember when the games end, the parties begin! Take that into account or you may end up in a maelstrom of traffic madness.

If you are concerned about the World Cup traffic, best chat to your bosses and see if you can wangle a deal. Maybe try to come in early, so that you can leave at a better time!
Heck if you have cool bosses maybe they will even give you the day off
