I’ve made a fan page for everyone to join – on there I will post the latest articles from PSD Vault, plus all sorts of design tips and tricks (particularly Photoshop related!) I found across the internet. So if you’re interested,  click here to become a fan right now!

See you all on Facebook!

To a New Home

I’m currently migrating PSD Vault to a new home (server), because with the increasing amount of traffic this because unavoidable. And I do want to continue to expand and put more features on the site, so to give you a better learning experience. After all, photoshop should be fun to learn and play with!

So in the next 48 hours, the website maybe a little bit unstable, I do apologise for that. Everything should be fine after this period.

Ok onto My Future Plans

• I’m going to build a forum on PSD Vault, for everyone loves Photoshop and like to learn more, exchange ideas and so on
• I’m going to make PDF version of all PSD Vault tutorials, so you can read them while you’re offline.
• More freebies, interviews and tutorials are on their way.

Be Part of PSD Vault

Thank you and have a great day!

I would also like to announce that PSD Files for each tutorial from PSD Vault are available for just $2 per file, via Paypal, and the Freebie Section will be up very soon.

Some forewords …

It has been a big four months since I launched the site back in Mid November, 2008. The site has grown from 10,000 pageview per month to 10,000 pageview per day on average. Despite the traffic increase, the focus of PSD Vault remains the same: To provide quality Photoshop Tutorial, Resource and inspiration to all levels of designers.

No doubt there is still plenty of room for improvement here and I receive a lot of feedbacks for the tutorial/site design through comments/emails. I will certainly try my best and I thank you for all the constructive comments/feedbacks you have made.

Last but not the least, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the wonderful site sponsors – thank you so much for the support!!

I would also like to announce that PSD Files for each tutorial from PSD Vault are available for just $2 per file, via Paypal. You should now see a big red $2 button on the right sidebar, click on it and you will be re-directed to Paypal payment page.

Just one thing to remember:

When you buy the PSD files, please specify the name of the tutorial in “Add special instructions to the seller” in the Paypal payment page, so I know which file you’re after.

I will send the PSD File to your Paypal Email within 24 hours once payment is received.  You can Contact Me if you have any further question.

In the future I will make this system fully automated so you will get the download link straight away. Monthly membership here on PSD Vault is also on its way, so please watch out :)
