Finally, the Facebook app that I designed for WIRED Science is officially launched. The app is called "WIRED SCIENCE: What Element Are You?" It is basically a fun app that lets you take a short quiz to find out what element you are from the periodic table. Then you can combine your element with your friends and it will tell you the relationship between the two of you. If you are interested in adding me to your network, here is my Facebook profile.
After a few years of (I must admit) pure laziness, I finally started to work on a new set of Dreamweaver CS3 video tutorials.
… But, to be fair to myself, I wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade my Dreamweaver MX videos since the differences between CS3 and MX are really minimal … most of the changes are ‘under the hood’.
Today I’ll be learning you how to make a mobile phone advertisement. Inspired by the big and fancy designs you see on billboards and stuff. This is what I came up with, an advertisement for the Sony Ericsson K610i:
Press Release: TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–If you want to use Adobe Photoshop like a pro, then you have to master the Photoshop tool that the pros rely on most - Layers.
As with many milestones in history, people tend to remember them in the context of their own life. Since we now know (or at least believe) that Photoshop 1.0 shipped on February 19, 1990 (and Lightroom shipped on the same day of February 2007), Jeff Schewe asked a few friends “where were you”? Here are their answers…
In the order in which they responded:

A living metaphor in illustration, "the difference between night and day". If you notice the foreground illustrations are clearly in the daytime, while the background presents a starry night... Looking for a reference on the site to this design enigma, and I couldn't find one. Is the marketing dept. over there at Terralien trying to slip one by us then?
As most of you already know that I’m launching a new site and thank you for being supportive checking on my blog every day. Finally, the site is done and I’m very proud to announce the launch. The new site is called Web Designer Wall. It is my new blog on design related stuffs such as design trends, CSS, Photoshop tutorials, technology, etc. Some of you might ask: "Why do you another site? What about N.Design Studio?" Well, the difference is I want to make Web Designer Wall a multi-author blog and I will keep N.Design as my portfolio site. The existing content on this site will not be changed. I will still provide WordPress themes, Illustrator tutorials, icons, and freebies. Check out my new site and let me know your thoughts.

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.
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.
