About

Welcome to The Graphic Mac, a community-based Mac and design-related site.

About the site:
Here you'll not only find tips, tricks, software reviews, interviews and links to anything and everything Mac or design related, but you have the opportunity to submit your own articles and links to be published in your own blog right here at The Graphic Mac - and have it appear on the front page for the world to see.

Got questions? Need help with Adobe Photoshop? Use the Discussion Forums to chat about all things software or design related (or just chat about the weekend football game).

When you come across a link to a tutorial, design resource, or just plain cool Web site, and you just want to share it with everyone - create a Web Link and move on... no fuss, no long-winded articles. Just submit the link with a brief description and choose a category.

About the owner/editor:
The Graphic Mac, formerly "Creative Guy Blog," is run by me, James Dempsey, a designer and print production artist with over 20 years experience in the industry. I'm also a regular contributor to Macworld.com's Creative Notes and MacGems blog, and occasional tips at CreativeBits.org.

Early in my career, I had a difficult time finding help, tips and solutions to what I knew were easy or common questions. It was a time when information sharing wasn't on the top of other designer's priority lists. I always hated that. The Graphic Mac is my attempt to help other designers gain useful knowledge, as well as have a little fun at the same time. After all, we're all in the same business, we all have something worth sharing.

Tech stuff:
The Graphic Mac is powered by the Drupal open source CMS. The theme is a fully-customized theme, brought to life by the Drupal Gods (ok, so I had a friend do it).
