Of Course Web Design Isn’t Dead

About time I dusted off this thing, didn’t I? Not even a week into the New Year and already there’s a small debacle over the profession.



Valuing Other Designer’s Efforts and Opinions

I’ve always been told to remain professional and sometimes hold my tongue on a lot of things, as to not let them bother me, but I feel this needs to be said. I’m really glad there are people that learn, and imrpove, in what we do, some even go to amazing levels to achieve what they do, but you sometimes find the occasional smell of ego and superiority.



On Creative Individuality and Trend Alienation

Defining yourself is a bit of a big deal to me, especially if you’re a designer, artist, or developer. I find the design and development world, while at a very vibrant and interesting time, to be quite stagnant as well as limited on design ideas and choices. I’m always open to new ideas and practices, but try and keep my individuality as a creative.



Hello again, Opera

Earlier this week, I was working as normal, checking emails, looking at tasks, reading tweets, as you do. One thing that did catch me out though, was that apparently, Opera Next got a decent update, so I was intrigued. After giving the update a try, it’s safe to say Opera has got me to use it again.



What I hope to achieve in 2013

2013

At the start of the year, I think of what it could possibly bring, and what potential the year could possibly bring to my career, as well as what I want to achieve in that space of time. 2013 is no exception, and there are many things I am hopeful of achieving as well many things I hopeful of achieving over the course of the year, so I thought I’d list out some of the things I hope will happen over the course of the year.



New Website!

So after a lot of time chasing tails, chaos, and just all round crazy, my website is finally up! All fresh and brand new; I had decided to re–invent the site for a long while now, to make it look more professional, as well as write more professionally. I’m looking forward to its future with better writing and ideas.
