After hearing that my brother was being taught “web design” by a guy calling himself Dr. Dude and is currently “learning” how to make animated gifs and a 360 flash panorama, I quickly became interested in finding out just what exactly is being taught in colleges and universities regarding web standards-based design. Soon after, I reached out to Christopher Murphy of the Web Standardistas in search of answers on the topic of web standards in education. Check it out at Six Revisions.
A workspace for a designer is a very important thing. It’s where all the magic happens. From drawing inspiration from beautiful works of digital art to pushing colorful pixels in Photoshop, this is where a designer makes their visions come to life. In my opinion, a designer’s success all starts with the perfect monitor.
I recently started working with the crew from OnWired on their latest project Please Critique Me, writing design critiques for user-submitted sites. My first critique is now live, so make sure to check it out as the principles applied there are certainly relevant for any website.
If you hadn’t yet noticed, I’ve added a feedback tab to my site in an effort to gain ideas and suggestions for upcoming blog posts. If you have any ideas, feel free to pop open the suggestion tab and post a few ideas or questions you’d like to see answered. One of the questions I’ve received thus far is, “how the h do I get to be as sexy as Rogie King?” Since I am dedicated to my readers, I thought it would be good to answer this question in detail, however, I felt it was a bit off-topic for this blog. To make it interesting I changed the topic to “5 Keys to Being a Sexy Designer like Rogie King.” I hope these tips help you in your personal pursuit of design sexiness.
This may seem obvious, but any designer who knows anything understands the value of leaves in design. Rogie obviously knows what he is doing and should be commended for using leaves absolutely everywhere.
