This is just a quick post to share a couple of good resources. I’m working on an e-book using InDesign (you need CS5 for this), and while looking for the best way to create the table of contents, I found this Lynda.com video. It covers it very well:

This one also has some good info about the difference between EPUB and PDF for e-books:

This is just one of the tools I’m excited about in CS5. I can’t wait to play with it! I’m also looking forward to the Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop and CSS Inspect Mode with Live View in Dreamweaver. From what I’ve seen so far, this looks like an exciting release.

Finding the right color palette for a website design can be challenging. Often the client’s logo will dictate the dominant colors, or you might be basing the design on a photo from which you can sample colors. When I’m struggling with finding the combination that makes it all come together, I turn to some great online color resources – these are my favorites:

Adobe’s Kuler - http://kuler.adobe.com/ Explore palettes, search by tags, save your favorite themes, and create your own to share with other designers. View this tutorial video from AdobeTV to learn more about Kuler. I especially like having the ability to create a theme from a photo.

ColorJack – http://www.colorjack.com/ Hover over a color to see a palette suggestion. Don’t miss the articles section for some interesting background about color symbolism and psychology.
