Recently I read an article on Mediocrity in Design. The author included in his thoughts a quote from former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The unusual quote started a side web search of other quotes from USA presidents. That led to a search of public domain images that could be used to illustrate various techniques and designs.
Last but not least is a quote from our current Commander-in Chief. The photo is a newer official portrait from the White House website.
Images and designs for further exploration courtesy of public resources and Photoshop CS6 and CC.
From our last post: updates for Quark 10 and 9 that are more Mavericks and Windows friendly are available at Quark's website.
