After all the mama, papa, wife, girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, friendship, fiendship days. So glad its World Graphics Day on 27 April 2008, celebrated since 1995. A little history from about .com.
In 1995, April 27th was declared “World Graphics Day.” The date came from the anniversary of The International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda), and has become a day to celebrate design around the world.
Message from ICOGRADA, that started it all,
On this occasion, designers reflect and hope that our international network can contribute to a greater understanding between people and can help to build bridges where divides and inequities exist.
They got some event lined up around that world, in India its in Kotayyam, if you’re around. If you’re like me sit back in your computer and spread the news, you can download some cool poster of the events.

Kudos to Collis Ta'eed and team, after the successful quality tutorial sites like PSDTuts, NetTuts, VectorTuts. They have launched another spoonfed tutorial site, AudioTuts. And if you think you can write kickass tutorials they pay you $150 for every tutorial published! - FontExplorer X -
