Simply Impossible

Posted in graphics and web design, work on February 25th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

Just got off the phone with a client. I need to design about ten photo cards and then find a printing company that can print up to 1000pcs for each design and have it delivered in two days. Not so bad if only the two-day schedule didn’t include the conceptualization. I know I’m awesome but I’m not a miracle worker. Good thing he said try because I am 100% positive that what he wants is impossible. The shipping time alone would take 2 business days based on the printing companies I’ve worked with so far.

Final Changes

Posted in graphics and web design on February 13th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

Need to get some poster printing done before the party this week. The problem is that my client is so fickle-minded that he might have more changes 5 minutes before I’m out of the door. I’ll just have to tell him to send me all modifications if he wants to meet his own deadline. I know he’s supposed to use the poster for the workshop he’s hosting this weekend so maybe I can give him a little push to keep him going. I honestly don’t want to be contacted on my cellphone or feel guilty that someone needs me when I’m having so much fun at the parties.

WOW Factor in Website Designs

Posted in graphics and web design on December 29th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

Every website design has a website factor. On this article, they have compiled some of the best websites out there and highlighted each site’s “wow” factor. Whether it’s a mouseover effect, a very subtle animation, a color switch or something simple as cool typography, these websites really know what it takes to make the viewers go “WOW!”.

More Inspirations – Breathtaking Photoshop Illustrations

Posted in art, graphics and web design on December 2nd, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

Stumbled upon a very nice collection of artworks at Smashing Magazine this morning.

These artworks are designed to inspire and stir your imaginations. I for one couldn’t figure out how they did these in Photoshop but you bet I’d be more than willing to learn. I hope they’ll feature a tutorial next on how to do one of these.
