Lately, I’ve been using scrapbook elements for designing web sites. It’s perfect for those who want out-of-the-box designs and provide a feel that they can touch something. WordPress themes with similar concept are also getting popular so I’ve decided to do a roundup of some of them. See below for what I found online. source
Thank God for discounts on office supplies online. I managed to hoard several pens and USB storage which will serve as a giveaway for a corporate event. I was supposed to order from another supplier but it turned out that they wouldn’t be able to meet the deadline. Luckily, we can just print stickers of the company logo and stick it to the pens and USB. We saved a lot of money on this project so we have enough budget left to print for more flyers. I’m glad it all worked out. I got worried for a while not knowing if we’ll be able to book a supplier or not.
If you run a small business and would like it to expand by having presence on the web, you would need a web site designer who can build your business web site and brand your logo. Choosing between signing up between a web site company and hiring a freelance or independent web site designer varies has its advantages and disadvantages. Cost is a primary consideration but qualifications-wise, you can get more value for your money if your sign up with an independent web designer sometimes.
One should also note that many “web designers” claiming to be one are actually graphic designers whose expertise is more towards print media than web media. One might reason that graphic and web design are entirely the same with very few differences, but size resolutions, color palettes, sizes, and layout concepts are entirely different. A skilled web designer would know what would work beautifully and consistently among different operating systems and browser versions of computers.
A quality web site design company or an independent web site designer should also specialize in these basic design services: Commerce Solutions, Web 2.0, Internet Marketing, E-Learning, SEO, and Pay per click campaigns. Design wise, a web site designer should lay the foundation for good SEO marketing to ensure the web site will favor a landing on top search engines.

One of my favorite free projects is creating baby birth announcements for friends. One, I just love babies and two, I know what most parents like and three, they always gush about what I’ve done no matter how simple it is. That’s how thankful people are when it comes to favors.
It’s been awhile since I designed a birth/baby related material. But I know I could make one with my eyes closed. And now that I thought about it, I’ll be making some first birthday party invitation soon for my youngest. I can already see the colors and artwork in my head. We’ve decided on a strawberry shortcake theme so it’s going to be a lot of fun.
Do you need to impress your cyber girlfriend but have no time for an actual ab workout? Try this fun and (a bit sad) tutorial on Youtube on how to add a fake six pack abs in under 8 minutes. I don’t really recommend you deceiving what could be a future partner in life but this is a pretty cool trick to add to your graphics designing sleeve. Plenty of magazines do this to some of their shoots if you must know.
