I get that quite abit, people ask for one thing, expect another. Think its just because of the amount of Technophobes that try and pretend they know what they are talking about, then are completely wrong and as they dont get what they wanted, they try to make out its your fault... nothing you...

mozilla logos are class to be honest, firefox, thunderbird etc.. worst one has to be the blackberry logo. its crap!

yeh class, ill subscribe too if its free!

Yeah, do not use them logos. There will be amillion dumb designers using the same. Might be a good source of inspiration though?

Web Designers shouldnt sleep. As were opening a new business, its crazy. Went to sleep 2am every night this week so far, got up at 8. Was coding / designing / selling straight through. I dream in PHP. You know in the matrix (the films) when they are so used to the green code stuff, they just...

right guys, why on earth are tables hated so much? Ok we can do most of it in CSS but sometimes, when you just want a quick layout for a specific bit of content, ie prices or something. Its so much easier to code it in html. I know that strict xhtml is supposed to be content only, i.e...

Yeah the w3schools tutorials are good to start. Best bet is to create a design in Photoshop, when your happy cut it into smaller chunks,ie the banner, background images etc. Save these as individual files. Then in html (dreamweaver is good for code view but design view is flawed massively) and...

I agree wit Pete. College courses are terrible. Quick courses that teach teh fundamentals will do the job better as long as you have the initiative to teach yourself using w3c tutorials, Tutorials @ W3C Practice, do websites for your business, for fun, for friends of a friend, anything. Your...

dont design stuff to 1000px, 600px, 400px etc. But design it with stretchability in mind. Use %ages instead of pixels for widths, and if you can use stretchable background images / repeating textures for banners etc..

Yeh i agree with retrograffica, you cannot undersell / oversell. You will get stuck with that image of cheap / expensive designs and you will struggle changing that image. If you want to do lots of fast cheap designs. Do fast cheap designs. If you want to do expensive flashy designs, do them...

really nice mate, one tiny thing that would make it 100% is to increase the padding between lines and text, some of them touch, some dont. If you stick to one or the other it would be class. sorry, im a pain i know but you will see what i mean.. nice tho mate likin it

You can also morph the lettering, using the free transform tool, make the top of the letters teh right shape, save you cutting them off with an image mask..

Nah stick with the old school CS2 here, cannot see the point really for web graphics. Im on Dreamweaver MX too, i only use it for coding and site files/ directories so dont need CS4. Wouldnt mind but it would probably kill all our PCs so.. not for now.. Anyone still use JASC Paint Shop Pro...

I use the scalpel tool in photoshop on a daily basis. Never had one cut. Am i missing the point? :D << see what i did there, point...

Humour is FANTASTIC.. I promise you this is the way to go. We get a ton of graphics designers posting for jobs, the ones that stick in my mind would get an interview, if not immediately but in the near future. Make sure that its not offensive though. Avoid even mild racism / prejudice /...
