If you use Photoshop to create designs, here’s a quick tip—spell check! It’s a lot easier than you might think and it could save you some headache down the road.

There are two ways I can think of to ensure you have correct copy:

1. Type your text in a word processor such as Word and once you’re sure that spelling and grammar are correct, paste the text into Photoshop and style as needed.
2. Or type the copy directly into Photoshop (generally works best if you don’t have a lot of text) and go to the Edit menu and select Check Spelling…

I have known people to get into major issues in terms of this seemingly simple oversight. Years ago, a friend had a typo in some invitations he had made for a client and of course it wasn’t noticed until the customer came into the store to pickup his final product. Granted the client had approved the artwork by signing a proof, I’m sure you can imagine the turmoil when he came to pickup his product.

The takeaway: Save yourself and your clients the headache and dignity by simply spell checking your graphic designs!

I’ve been a big fan of Sander Baumann’s vector pack of arrows for quite some time and have used them it in various projects through out the years (my favorite use being for call to action–CTA– buttons). It wasn’t until recently that I found out who the actual author of the pack was so I thought I’d share with you all. The pack is released under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, meaning the vector images can be used either for personal or commercial purposes and may be changed to your own ideas.
