Very handy, thanks. But I might still print them out- I usually have too many windows and palettes floating around to see the wallpaper 😉
Great! I really like the PS-shortcuts!
These are awesome! I’m so going to get some of these printed out. Thanks!
Thank you. These are great! Wonderful design attractive and useful. 🙂
Good post, and thanks for the link to our Color Theory poster. That WordPress one is going to be super helpful for me. Merry Christmas!
Very well designed wallpapers, and functional too! Thanks for the share!
Haha, this is pretty funny. I like it. I agree though, so many windows open, I may just have to print them out and put them next to my screen.
Henry,
Some really helpful sheets here. More good cheat action on the way 🙂
WordPress + Photoshop are some helpful ones for sure!
Thanks for posting this – oh, and the Google cheat sheet list caught my eye too. Beautiful.
Have you seen the anatomy of a perfect landing page “cheat sheet”?
Just thought I’d mention this one cause it certainly is a helpful designer/developer tool along these lines!

Most are useful. The JQuery 1.3 one is somewhat dated now though. Keep that in mind if you’re using the latest version of JQuery (1.4.4)
These are very cool and extremely useful, many thanks for sharing with us. The TextMate one alone makes them worth having 🙂
Really great wallpapers, I’ve already set the WordPress one as my wallpaper =)
Thanks! Wonderful Article!
Great resource. I especially like the WordPress help sheet. I’m a copywriter, but I will share these with my art director and web developer colleagues. BTW – The “Anatomy of Type” is poster-worthy. Very cool!
Love, love, love these!
Awesome as always! Need to get poster versions of these, already have the periodic table of typefaces for quite a while. The wordpress one is actually probably the most helpful instead of having to trawl through functions to find what you’re after. Love it!
Great! I prefer “The anatomy of type”, thanks Toma for the link.
Great collection, thanks for posting.
For those interested in our Color Theory poster, we have just released an Elements of Design poster. Same deal – free, source files included! See it here: https://www.paper-leaf.com/blog/2011/02/elements-of-design-quick-reference-sheet/
Wow, Every single one of these are helpful in some way. Thanks a lot. I love the WordPress one!
Great collection of cheat sheet.Thanks!
Hey Henry; we just released an accompanying poster to our Color Theory poster linked above; a Principles of Design Quick Reference poster. I thought it might be pertinent to this comment thread, if you/others are interested: https://bit.ly/dsgn-prncples

I’ve been looking for Adobe keyboard shortcuts for some time. This is very helpful in terms of boosting my productivity as a web designer. Thank you 🙂
Eu gosto muito de “typefaces”…. e adorei a tabela periódica,… parabéns pelo “post”.
