  1. Re:Get someone else, but also start learning by MrMarket · · Score: 1 · on Web Graphic Design for Small Businesses

    Getting a designer to consult on your site is important, but you will also need to effectively communicate with each other. If you want to start learning about design, I'd add some of the sites from the deck to your rss reader. I find A List Apart provides a good mix of posts about both front-end and back-end design. Typography is also important, so I'd subscribe to some of the foundry blogs, or typography blogs. After reading these for a while you'll gain an understanding of how designers approach problems.

    I've seen these Shhh cards, but what you did sounds even better.

    I've never quite had the nerve. It probably helps if you are just getting off the bus/train/etc...

  3. Re:Let the user choose by Tet · · Score: 3, Informative · on What Makes a Good Web Font
    Surely the choice of font ought to be something individuals can set up in their web browser.

    Indeed. The article makes some reasonable points, but falls over by using http://www.jaredigital.com and http://www.coudal.com as sample sites. Both of those make schoolboy errors when it comes to web typography. They override the user's default font, and they specify explicit font sizes in pixels. Which might work fine for them, but not everyone has the same size or resolution display that they do. Font sizes should always be given as a percentage of the user's preferred height, and never specified explicitly. Sigh.

    (Yes, in addition to being a web page designer, I'm a typography freak)

  7. Thanks by HenchmenResources · · Score: 1 · on Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac
    I agree completely. Outside of the "unsharp mask" and "dust and scratches" filters I rarely use filters, the exception being when I'm working on a Photo Illustration, or playing a round of Photoshop Tennis

    Thanks for adding that in and clarifying the point I was trying to make.

  8. Photoshop Tennis by FunkyChild · · Score: 5 · on Web-based Collaborative Artwork

    A similar idea is 'Photoshop Tennis' where the participants email back and forth a Photoshop file, adding new layers each time. The game ends when one person gives up or decides that any new additions will just make it worse. It's an experiment rather than a competition.
