Technique, business and worldview for web designers. Applying Christian worldview to a secular vocation, apparently. Whatever, there's some useful articles anyway.

ThinkGeek

My friend Kirsty posted this on her blog, but I had to share it too cause it's pretty awesome!

Photoshop Mock-ups

Here's a couple of designs I've come up with so far. The first one is based off my original wireframe, and I don't like it too much now. I much prefer the second one.

Catteries are crap

I contacted loooooads of catteries and got only two replies, both of which just said rather plainly 'no thanks'. It's really annoying! I didn't even contact them asking if they needed a website, it was more asking if they would help me out by letting me make one. One which nobody would ever see. Hmph. Stupid..

Therefore I'm going in a different direction, since I have to. A nice leafy green park would be a good subject and I'm thinking one of the following:

• Titchfield Park in Hucknall
• The Burntstump Country Park
• Nottingham's Arboretum

The arboretum is the most interesting of these places I think, but I have more of a connection with Titchfield Park. As for Burntstump, how did the stump get burnt? I can't find out how...

It's a shame it isn't Summer, I would be able to take much nicer photographs of these places if it was sunny.

Only2Designers

I love the website for visual design agency Only2Designers. It makes amazing use of CSS with a design that is simple but looks so elegant and sophisticated. The only fault I can find is that when the design stretches as the content changes the image on the left side cuts off abruptly.

Edited Logos

Colour can greatly affect the way we perceive things and how we think about them. These logos have had their colours changed in order to affect their meaning.
