Just over a week ago I wrote an article discussing how web designers are pushing the boundaries of web design. Another great example has come to light.
Polish design firm, Metropolis Media have presented their online design portfolio in the form of a ‘roaring 20s’ theme, with jazz, swing, skyscrapers, airships and pin-up girls.
It’s great to [...]

Do you remember creating your first website? I do, it was back in 1997 and I created a page on FortuneCity using it’s built-in page builder… Ho hum, how times have moved on.

I realised in the last couple of days that miLienzo.com isn’t working very well in Internet Explorer. Ooops! Not very clever from someone asserting to know their stuff on web and design matters.

I don’t claim to be an expert with search engine optimisation (SEO). I’m very interested in the design and aesthetics of the Web and new media, but not really very interested in the fiddly geeky works of SEO.

Whilst flicking through the Design Week Awards 2007, I stumbled across a site that I just HAD to mention here.
Cock-a-Doodle, built in Flash, allows users to doodle, erm, cocks, and vote for their favourite doodles by other cock-doodlers. For most guys this will bring back nostalgic memories of the inside cover of their school note [...]

Smashing Magazine has steadily earned its position as my most commonly visited design blog/resource over the last few weeks. Pretty much every article they write ends up in my del.icio.us favourites.
Their most recent posting, Printing the Web: Solutions and Techniques, tackles one of my personal web design bugbears - sites that are not print-friendly. It [...]
