Ushering In A New Year!

Aaron — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:07:40 +0000

Today we usher in a new year, the start of 2012! This year is filled with superstitions of world ending tragedies and new beginnings. For us, at least, we are focusing on the new beginnings portion of this year. This year we have so many plans for you guys and have a new tutorial set up, a new shop, a new design, and plenty more to come this year.

We are going to be revitalizing our Freebies site, Friday Freebies, and making sure that each Friday you will receive a brand new PSD file, for free. You will see a whole new design for the HV-Network, as well as a new addition to our network (details to be released later). While we finalize details for the new design of the network be sure to check out many of our excellent tutorials, our many freebies, and the many premium items we have available from the shop.

Let’s ring in the new year with a brand new wallpaper, specifically for you guys.

We’re Back — Freebie to Celebrate

Aaron — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 06:51:29 +0000

Hey guys, we are finally back up and running. After almost a month of being down and having issues with our database/plugins we are finally back and ready to start running full speed again! I had this puppy ready for Friday Freebies (which was also down) but decided that I was going to release this as our back online surprise to celebrate coming back.

Before we get to the fully awesomeness of our freebie I want to fill you in on our plans for the next few months. The biggest thing that we have coming your way is our complete re-design of the website and how our blogs are laid out. Now, there wasn’t very much good feedback on the idea of adding a premium feature to the site, so we have decided to hold off on that for now, but we will be entering into re-design mode in the next week or so and hopefully have a new design out to you guys in a month or two.

The other main thing that we will be doing is re-designing the HV-Shop as well, in order to have it flow smoother with the rest of the site/network, which will also include a re-design of Friday Freebies, BestPSTuts, and the other two network sites we will be releasing. As you can tell already we will also be releasing two new network sites for the HV-Network by the years end, though details of those sites are still in planning stage. When I get some more information on how those will work I will let you guys know right away.

Our final thing that we have planned to start after the re-design is with the shop. The shop will now offer tutorials, photoshop files, fully coded sites, and android apps. At this point the shop is limited to HV-Network writers only. We will be offering a few new packages in the shop though that include a certain amount of downloads per package and things like that, which will help you really get the files we need. You will also see us releasing various Tumblr, WordPress, Joomla and other themes on Superhug in the coming months.

I am sure I have bored you guys enough with reading our plans, but I do hope you are a little excited about them. If there is anything else you want to see be sure to leave a comment or follow us on Twitter (@hvdesigns). Now, on to what you really clicked on this post for: FREE STUFF

This freebie is a 3D Google Plus icon that you can use for any of your sites, both commercial and personal, free of attribution (though attribution is nice and will get you a high five). This freebie was created by HV-Network author Josh Laincz, of Zohf Design.

Introducing: Friday Freebies A New Network Site

Aaron — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 21:51:20 +0000

Today we are pleased to introduce a new site to our network started up by our General Editor. The new site will consist of free Photoshop files released each week on Friday, if you couldn’t have guessed that. It has been going strong for two weeks now and is out of final testing phase, so there are already two awesome PSD’s up there for you to get your hands on.

Friday Freebies will be releasing a free PSD every Friday free of any license. You are free to use the work however you want and no attribution will be required. The PSD files will be totally separate from any tutorials on the site, which means that between the site and Friday Freebies you will always be getting awesome PSD files for inspiration/use. The theme for Friday Freebies is the Folio Tumblr Theme by John Tidey, which is available in the DoD Bundle we posted about earlier this week. Check back each week or follow us on Twitter to be notified what the next PSD release is.
