Who Doesn’t Love a Good Cheat Sheet?
Sometimes when working with advanced software without some sort of formal training all of the tools can be a little overwhelming. Of course there are thousands of websites, probably hundreds of books, and various other resources you can turn to, but wouldn’t it be nice if it was all right there? Well that is where a good cheat sheet comes in! Better yet, what if that cheat sheet was not only amazing to have, but publicly available and best of all… FREE! The Web Design Ledger is one of those great websites that provides a variety of resources to help make learning new programs or advancing your knowledge that much easier.
Henry Jones put together what he found to be a list of the 14 Most Useful Web Design Cheat Sheets covering everything from Adobe programs to CSS styling. Most all of these cheat sheets comes in a convenient PDF format so you can save it to your computer or print it out for quick reference. Though Henry did publish this list, these cheat sheets do come from various authors and different websites so please be respectful as you travel around collecting the cheat sheets you need. Just for good measure the 14 cheat sheet categories are listed below.
1) Adobe Photoshop CS4
2) Adobe Photoshop CS3
3) Photoshop Lasso Tool
4) Adobe Pen Tool
5) CSS v2
6) CSS v1
7) Mac OS X CSS
