ONE MORE THING...

Zoo publishing, now 3D Total, started a downloadable 2D magazine about a year ago.
You will find features about and by experts to share their skills and inspire you.
To download a free, low res version of this, click on the image.
The full hi-res version mag is just $4.50, and for that small sum well worth a look, IMO.
