Yes, we all suffer from overcommitment, pledged allegiances, and die-hard free associations in free software. We often forget to factor in basic bodily processes like eating, sleeping, and person hygiene. Instead, we use our extra time to make fonts, clipart and hack on free software! I'm the worst offender!

You know the look... now know the laziness required be 'fresh'

This is a short, tongue-in-cheek 'dirty tricks' inkscape tutorial on how to make your UI designs shiny, reflective, rough, deep, layered, sparkling, glowing and generally awesome...

I'll cover all the quick and easy ways to 'bling up' your design with minimum forethought and effort. Everybody on a deadline loves a quick win technique and this is how the pros do it.

• website design — setting up a grid, laying down the various page elements for a graphical mockup of a website [2];
• web app mockups — designing web applications mockups [3];
• clip art — doing it, dissecting an existing clip art piece and submitting it to OpenClipArt.com [4].

Example pieces that might work for each presentation:
