  51. These kind of stuffs are always useful ^__^

  52. Filter Forge would really be useful for ANY project. As for the next one I’d use it for, a homepage redesign is where it’d get a workout first.

  53. will use it for my personnal graphic work !

  54. Web 2 was all round corners,shiny buttons and glossy glass – till we got tired of that. Then came the flat matte looks with square images, and we’re all getting tired of that too.

    The next step is going to be TEXTURE, and this is where Filter Forge comes in. Within two years the variety that texture offers is going to take over the Web Design World. When its done well, texture is never boring.

    Where would I use my new Filter Forge?

    Well, besides just everywhere, it would be the foundation of the personal portfolio site I’m working on now. What’s holding me back is that all my design concepts, based on the tools I have at hand are well, boring. The concept that I really want to do is full of rich textures in combinations that are not only different and daring but have that visual “POP” that makes a site really good.

    Thanks for this opportunity – and thanks for all the great work you have been doing to make the Web a better place.

    All the Best
    Sheina

  55. As the title says… i’ll use it for creating Amazing Textures and cool Effects.
