Design is kinky and other links
Thursday, January 8, 2009
Design is Kinky is a online Graphic design magazine acting largely as a gallery of artwork. Also includes commentary, interviews, profiles, mug shots. There is a portion of the site where you can connect with other designers and register yourself as an artist.*~*~*
Creature Comforts posted a great, inspiring photo on their site this morning. It is a photo of a girl taking a photo and she is standing in front of a huge poster which states "Replace fear of the unknown, with curiosity." I love it!

DIY store B&Q sells prints and canvases of retro portraits and scenes for you to decorate your home or office. They're a great place to shop if you are running under a tight and slim budget. They also sell more intricate items you might need for working on your own projects at home. They offer great tips, ideas and inspirations to those of you who like to get crafty whether big or small.

For our web gurus who use Dreamweaver, there are so many resources out there for adding extensions to the software which make y our life easier. Who do you listen to and where can you find them for free? Easy, head over to Woork's web site and they have a list of 16 Outstanding Free Dreamweaver Extensions with explanations of why they rock.

Last but not least today we have a font post from Sitepoint. There is a discussion on user friendliness, different font categories, lists of options and talk about hierarchy in terms of visual flow. Eight font stacks are listed, combining Windows, Mac, Linux, and Adobe fonts in groups that are relatively similar among themselves.

BittBox has a new free font online. The post says designers from all over the world sent in letters and they were then coagulated into a font collection. Pretty snazzy.--
Adobe is putting out a Creative Suite 4. This is not long after the CS3. How are we to keep up with the expenses of the ever evolving software suites? Just to give you a heads up though, Illustrator is said to have some much needed upgrades in CS4. Multiple Artboards documents and transparency in gradients are just two of the new features. A bunch of other feature enhancements to smart guides, text on path, the user interface, and more, complement the two big new features in this latest upgrade.

In case you do not know this about me, I love owls. In fact, one of the paintings hanging in my office is from the University of Delaware archive and is a painting of a proud, beautiful owl sitting in a fall tree. I love it. Creature Comforts devoted a post to owls recently and you should definitely check it out. The photo in this post is from their blog.
