“Why does Design so often struggle to communicate its value to the world, when it’s something we all recognize?
When we speak of product development, we frequently look at the domains of Design and Engineering separately, evaluating them in different ways. Engineering, at its core, is a measurable process; Design, for the most part, is not. This gives the former an inherent advantage: engineering efforts are easily quantifiable, and this provides them with authority. Design is intuitive, working on the non-verbal levels of our experience, sometimes triggering our most subversive emotional states; this makes it difficult to evaluate empirically. Lacking an analytical vernacular, Design is labeled subjective, when it is actually the agent of universal truth through form…”
“The extensive amount of roads you can take in web design, specifically in navigation. Here, we will talk about one specific navigation technique, tab-based navigation. If properly carried out, tabbed navigation can be very clean and organized within a web layout.
So what is tabbed navigation? Well, it is essentially a set of buttons most often set horizontally. Tabs generally follow numerous different styling guidelines. First, a tab set usually is attached or purtrudes from a container, like in the example below. Also, notice how the open tab matches the background color of the container, and the other buttons are darker. This is one more common styling guideline…”
“Many designers must content themselves with imagining and drawing things that may never be built - very few can realize ultramodern home visions in the real world. Like a blast from the future, these ten architects have brought to life incredible houses that most of us could not even dream of – let alone afford.”
“Today’s Monday brush giveaway is a cool set of fingerprint style Photoshop brushes. These brushes can form great background textures, or even be the central focus of a design related to some sort of mystery. I could see the brushes being used in a cover design for a mystery novel or even on a poster for missing children. The possibilities are endless, hope you enjoy the free brushes and stay tuned for more!…”
“GIMP, the free and open-source image editor, is often blamed for its lack of polish in its interface. However, with sufficient addons (particularly plugins), you can achieve a lot of functionality found in other editors…”
“We recently compiled a article on Free Fonts to Enhance Your Designs, and in response to reader requests, we’ll compiling the new list here with more fresh free typefaces.
Display typography is a potent element in graphic design, where there is less concern for readability and more potential for using type in an artistic manner. Type is combined with negative space, graphic elements and pictures, forming relationships and dialog between words and images as some say that web design without typography is like an Apple pie without a Apple.
This article showcases the Most Beautiful and Fresh Free Fonts to inspire and encourage good typography selection in web design…”
“I’ve been experimenting with tea bags and water to create some custom grunge stained paper textures, I wanted to see how different they would be from water colours but there’s not a lot of difference to be fair, I am going to keep experimenting any way, so this is the first batch and hopefully the next batch can bring some more refinements.
These 20 textures are also at a high resolution to cover most working areas and are ideal to be edited, such as colour adjustmets and cropping…”
