Proper Standards-Compliant Color Use in Web Design

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Interesting read over at Design Instruct By D. S. Del Rosario:


As designers who’d like to turn our creations into works of art, we want to design towards our heart’s content — letting our eyes be the final judge of our masterpieces. But as we all know, creating a web page is different from creating a painting — with a painting, we can freely express ourselves on the canvas. However, with a web page, we need to effectively pass on information, first and foremost.

New custom iPhone case from getuncommon.com

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Ordered myself a custom iPhone case from the lovely people at getUncommon.com! Decided to use my bats illustration from last halloween. You cant really tell from the image but the blue printed quite dark. As it’s supposed to be a night sky, i’m still quite pleased at the result. Case is sleek, and the headphone opening is large enough to fit my large sony plug. I’ll try docking it tonight and see if i have any problems. It feels nicer to hold than my last case which was a soft plastic Paperchase one similar to this. They included a 20% off coupon for my next case, which is always a wonderful way to make a customer feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I’m not sure which illustration i’ll use, i’m torn between:

summer
and
vespa

Maybe i’ll go for broke and get them both!
