Designers Who Blog: Design, Illustration, Photography, Web, Advertising, Branding …

Natalie and Tim

I’m rushed for time this week what with the NO!SPEC campaign looming, clients calling, life in general nudging in … soooo, during a mid morning can of Pepsi MAX, I sat down to Decisive Flow.

DF is a likeable blog (with the same, um, writing skills I’m blessed with). By the end of my first round (I’ll be back) I’d joined Biznik (I’m partial to things that don’t suck and terrible at radical self promotion), signed up for Clustermaps, bookmarked One Simple Rule for Improving Your Writing, was reminded yet again of Web Design from Scratch (note to self, contact Ben), and then it was time to get back to work. My opinion? A well filled Pepsi MAX break.

Right there out in the open (can you tell I’m chuffed?):
ideas and thoughts about building good, usable websites, the evolution of the internet and the web based tools that help small businesses grow.

EDITED: Decisive Flow is no more. It’s now Simple and Loveable

Veerle’s blog 2.0

Wow. What a redesign!

From the about:
In 2003 I discovered Web Standards after seeing the CSS Zen Garden and the work of Douglas Bowman. Since then I never looked back and I’m actively promoting the benefits through this personal journal. My dream is that I have a small contribution in making the interweb a better place.

fadtastic

I missed fadtastic when interviewing blogging groups on Creative Latitude: Cat’s Fancy: Designers who blog. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to correct the oversight.

Briefly glancing through fadtastic (apologies, I’m swamped), I came across several discussions to book for later.

With a client request for a site design using the worn look, I’ve noted Marc’s discussion on Worn Out , Grunge, Vintage. I’m not totally convinced the worn out look is old hat. I’m more on the opinion that it’s a style here to stay. If it’s appropriate (as in my client’s site) then it fits the bill. Getting a clean look married to the worn look will be a challenge, but one I’m looking forward to.

So, is this a site for bloglines? Certainly, and I’m slightly red-faced it hasn’t been added before.

From the welcome:
fad.tastic is a multi-author web design community commenting on the current trends from the web design world.

Nader Cserny

It’s Thursday morning and I haven’t featured a branding site in awhile. So, what better then one sprinkled with potty humour? Suggestion, don’t do too quick of a run through or you’ll miss the guts of the site (it’s packed with branding goodness). I’d chat more, but since Nader has one of the most complete about sections I’ve run across, I’ll leave leave you to it. Applause from me to Nader, as a lack of an about has quickly become a personal peeve of mine (partially because I’m a lazy lass…) [... Continue reading ... Brand Infection
