The overall look of the site, leads one to think that the sites design may have indeed been created on construction paper and that mock-up scanned in. More than likely though, the designers dug deep into their photoshop "trick-bag" of brushes and plug-ins to create the carefree digital surrealistic look.

Since Ansel Adams developed the zone system of manipulating the lights and darks of a photograph at the turn of the 19th century, darkrooms have been facilitating the production of this mainstay of popular art.
But in the name of digital, the art of photography is undergoing a revolution.
As the techniques formed in the wet lab darkroom are translated into computer applications like Photoshop, can that sacred space, the darkroom, survive?

Longtime Adobe Systems (ADBE) executive Shantanu Narayenon Dec. 1 became CEO of the software powerhouse. An engineer who had previously worked at Apple (AAPL) and Silicon Graphics (SGIC), he took over from mentor Bruce Chizen, who stepped down.
Narayen takes over as Adobe, best known for Photoshop photo software and Acrobat and PDF digital document tools, is shifting many of its wares from boxed software to online services.
There’s a lot of talk floating around about the future of open source with Microsoft threatening to sue organizations with a whopping 235 violations of their patents. The free and open source software communities behind many projects are worried and they should be, unsurprisingly a huge number of these violations have been breached by Linux Kernel. But should we be worried about our prized open source software and is it right to have software licensing and software patents, is this not against the whole ethos of the open source Internet?

I've been waiting for a while to make sure that when I submit a post it is worth it's merits. The Geniant blog is one that really stood out to me as something that would definitely be worth writing a review for. Upon the first impression of the site it doesn't scream blog! which so many sites do these days. The Geniant blog presents it's information much clearer and very easy to read format.
Every once and a while I use a question put to me, as the basis for an article. This time, we have Richard asking whether web design (as a profession,) will have bright future.
The email:
Thank you for having courses that make it easier for the average laymen to comprehend the basics which will allow the complex material to sink in. I have a question though.
I am in my fifties, have done many different things in my life, and I am looking for something as a career change to take me into my second half of life and into retirement. What do you think the opportunities are going to be in the future in this type of industry taking into consideration the advancements in technology?
Adobe is celebrating its 25th year in existence. Started in December of 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, Adobe has grown to become a $2.5 billion-a-year-company. Not bad for a couple of refugees from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center–the same place Steve Jobs went to visit to “discover” the GUI and the computer mouse.

As I am celebrating Designbit’s birthday and looking back over the journey I have been on over the last year. I realised just how much I have learnt about the technologies and design industry itself, for anybody new to web design I want to save you some time and offer some design tips and hints.
KISS (I meant the acronym)
KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) a lovely term obviously coined by some Yorkshire farmer talking about mud or beef or cheese - but annoying as this phrase is it works well. If your not that confident about your design skills or illustrator / photo-shopping then keeping things simple is the best way forward; simple typography; keep the amount of fonts down to increase neatness.
