you could try this site: Design Contests, Design Outsourcing and Freelance Designers | DesignCrowd to be honest, i don't know a huge amount about it and it may not be totally relevant to you. I haven't had chance to check it out properly myself. I heard about it on the grapevine and...

Quark is the spawn of satan and should be banned....at least that's what i tell Matt! I used to use Quark before InDesign came along but i just find it infuriatingly un-intuitive compared to indesign. The list of things that annoy me about quark is too long to list here but here's one for...

i agree with you to a certain extent bubblebutt. I think it's important that designers know how to design for web and produce their layouts accordingly with various web standards and user experience stuff in mind. Having said that...knowledge of HTML / flash is definitely a bonus but i agree...

this is really interesting...cheers!

i think what Curtis has said is very good advice and also shows that he has taken heed of feedback given to him. Don't want to sound in any way condescending but it's great to see people being able to take a little constructive criticism and use it to their advantage and to help others. I...

looks like a really interesting exhibition...thanks for posting the pics!!

those are really useful sites...thanks Sarah!

very nice design but ditto dot design comment above...not necessarily a bad thing though...a logo should make you think. There's a very good little piece titled "A logo may not be totally accessible on the first reading" in the dos logos book on page 69.....well worth a read.

here's a few site links which might give you some good ideas. The Dieline and Lovely Package are very packaging focussed as the name suggests but they have some really nice stuff on there, particularly when it comes to nice detail and finishing....hope you find some inspiration... FFFFOUND...

if you do a search for "grid systems in graphic design" on Amazon, there's a whole load of books that are available, which would be pretty useful. It might also be worth checking the archives of the Computer Arts website. I seem to remember an article on the subject not so long ago.

We just launched a site for a client that integrated with Magento using Sagepay. I'm afraid i don't know a huge amount more about it because our chief web developer is on holiday but it seems to suit the requirements of our client and their bank as well. I think Sagepay took over protx not so...

worth noting...you will still need to use a payment gateway to handle transactions but Magento quite happily integrated with the one we used, which was sage pay. The payment gateway you choose really depends on your client and their relationship with their bank,etc. as to what suits best.

We used the community edition, which is the free one. More than enough functionality for our needs. It's worth having a good look around the Magento site, particularly the showcase section... Magento - Showcase - eCommerce Software for Growth
