  • 50 Things

    I have yet to meet a designer or creative who doesn’t feel like a student. I believe the one should always be learning and discovering throughout their career. Although he states it’s for graphic design students I think it can be applied to any career path. Everything mentioned is spot on, however I wonder how…

  • Triangle Manifesto

    Conceptual devices came up with an interesting design manifesto. I happen to agree with most points the manifesto makes. 00_ Design should not be based on formal principles – but always on an idea of society. 01_ Designed forms represent possible social orders and a lot of their contradictions. 02_ Design is everything. Anything could…

  • 24 Ways

    It’s Christmas time again and to my surprise I found an online advent calender for graphic designers. Instead of chocolate there are articles which include web design. There are some great articles on this site that are worth having a look at. Some posts move back to the basics of web design but I feel…

  • Jakob Nielsen

    Earlier this week I found an article on the web designer’s depot on Jakob Nielsen. Jakob Nielsen along with Donald Norman are considered to be experts within the web usability field.

  • Simon’s cat

    [HTML1] This has been going around the youtube circuit for quite a while now. Though this is pretty clever especially if you have a cat. If you don’t have a cat they pretty much act like this except more annoying, come to think of it your probably lucky. This animation works so well because it…

  • Photoshop Disasters

    I found this site photoshop disasters and it’s really funny. Most people think they are genius with photoshop not really considering what is actually REAL. There have been plenty of times I’ve looked at a photo wondering what’s wrong here. Only to relaise the leg is missing or there is an extra hand. I had a…

  • 3D Business Cards by Emerson Taymor

    I caught this post on Design Zen and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing copy cat cards for years to come but it’s an original idea and I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first. Though I have a few ideas in the works, so I’m sure I’ll come up with something better! He…
