Well actually two links to more than one tut for the day. One from PSDTUTS, the other from Six Revisions.
Web Design From Scratch (Photoshop/HTML/CSS)
That’s it for me, two final projects + work = no free time for two weeks!
Thanks to the morning Digg crawl I give you:
42 Must Bookmark Resources for Web Designers
I must admit some of these are already in my bookmarks just by glancing at the page but the rest are on my ‘when you have time, check these out’ list.
Well it’s official. I’m not taking any classes this Summer. Mostly because the offerings are pathetic. Not a single thing that will either take care of a needed credit, or just anything I want to take in general. So this summer shall be my own way of learning. Woot!!
I’m working out a mental list of everything I want to accomplish by summer’s end. Some are personal, some educational, but all things to keep my busy and the brain working. I give this until June 1st, then I’ll just be playing video games and catching up on my sleep.
In no particular order I give you:
Things to Accomplish Summer 2008
I’ll likely add to and subtract from this but at the moment that’s a little window into the things I want to accomplish with my ’semester off’.
Oh yeah, and I’ll be working full time as always. I just can’t get enough of doing something all the time. I am a sick, sick puppy.
Finally getting my swing back. I re-did the front page for the domain last night. Feel free to check that out here.
I’m also getting ideas flowing in regards to a site I should have put up years ago; My own portfolio. At this point my design is down on paper and I’m looking at other pages to spark some ideas of what I should include and what I should not bother with. Also, sadly, it’s giving me the motivation to do something else I have no done in far too long. Update my resume.
I just found this site, newark1.com in my little process. I’ll have to sit down and give it a good read later but there appears to be a wealth of information on everything from color theory to placement. There’s also a blog. I smell a time suck…but at least this one will educate me, unlike Guitar Hero…
After I get my design portfolio up and running my next big goal will be a redesign of this page. I appreciate the work other put have put into the templates I’ve been trying to learn from, but I feel like a thief in a sense, even when allowed, using someone else’s work on my page.
Mid Semester and I haven’t written a word since it began, sad isn’t it.
I just finished my very first full Flash game, which I’ll post (maybe) after I do some finalization type things to it.
My website is up for my advanced web development class, but it’s nothing spectacular do to the constraints given in general for the assignments.
If there is anyone interested in seeing that it is located here.
That’s about all this girl’s got right now. Too busy with work and life in general to really have been into anything else. Haven’t really even had time to poke around my usual Design blog haunts…depressing really.
Ok maybe one more entry for today. Wikipedia, once again I adore thee.
Ah, thank you morning DIGG crawl. You have given me things to inspire me to make this site look fabulous.
I’m actually trying to work on a mock-up design for this. It is just difficult (and interesting) for me to convert straight CSS/HTML to a Wordpress Theme. I’ve never done it so here’s hoping it goes well. Will post my progress as it comes along.
Part of my morning routine is to poke through Digg.com’s Design section. This morning there was an article which links to 50 different articles covering various aspects of Web Design/Graphic Design.
There are articles covering basic design principles, color theory (one of my favorite topics), CSS, layouts and more.
