    Annoying client

    Like they've said above. It sounds like you we're not getting paid, in which case I think your decision was very respectable, and you should stand by it!

    im not sure where to put this? FOR SALE

    Ahh one of those would be nice! I wouldn't mind picking one up sometime, right now I don't have the money for it, though. If you're just doing graphic design, and not so much illustration, I could see how it wouldn't be as useful as it might sound, I could see where you might be coming from.

    hello dudes

    It's nice, and pretty basic. Theres nothing extraordinary about it, but its not bad either. Some things I noticed right away: •No fav icon •A broken picture link or two on slideshow/ no descriptions on slideshow, sort of odd. •Borders should probably all be around the same size, the...

    How not to do web security

    Use them all in one, and you've got a winner.

    What modern web designing technique?

    CSS, HTML, some Javascript, and PHP would be very helpful, although theres so much stock code out there you could probably get along if you were making simple blog designs etc. Read up on CSS3/HTML5, a lot of new stuff can be done now.

    Client Logo, looking for feedback.

    I think it looks real nice, but work with the H/F, I think you can still pull it off with a similar feeling but more readability. I had to pause and think about it for a few seconds before I got it. Not typically the response you want.

    Pinhole Cameras

    I currently develop the film myself, that's pretty simple to do, and you don't need much room. I then just scan the negs. My avatar is actually one of those scans. I just moved, and I'd love to set up a darkroom as well. My uncle has an enlarger that he's going to sell me for pretty cheap...

    Pinhole Cameras

    Yeah those wooden ones are really nice, really taking it back to the basics. I'll probably own one at some point, I think I own about 15 cameras as it is haha.. a bit obsessed. :D

    Pinhole Cameras

    I own two, one was this cardboard kit sort of thing, I had to put it together. It turned out pretty nice, 35mm. The other is simply the Diana+ 120mm. I use this more as I prefer the 12-16 shots and larger film size. It takes a great pinhole picture, and even has tripod threads. Nothing fancy...

    What second monitor?

    Like Levi said, You'll hate life with a cheapie. If you are planning on going cheap, might as well find a used one somewhere, you'd have better odds of getting something decent. I've second handed a few monitors now, not bad for something I'm not using as primary.

    Contact form for restaurant booking

    I had a similar thought while doing a contact form recently for a wedding officiate. It seems so impersonal, but at the same time it alleviates the issue of people farming phone numbers/ emails. I ended up going with a form, but also provided a phone number (with some html commenting worked in...

    What does 'Edgy' mean to you?

    In my experience, clients who ask for "edgy" usually want the "grunge" look. Something a bit distressed, or heavily textured. To me, edgy would mean something pushing boundaries, something bold and new. Clients I've had don't want this, they want accepted, and safe 'edge' haha

    Top 8 Web Design Flaws

    Thanks @mrp2049 for your explanation here, I understand where you're coming from now. I just felt the first post was a bit hostile for apparently no reason, which I felt was not a great way to welcome someone new and facilitate a healthy forum. If it had been more like your second post I...
