Cheers, I have been planning on redesigning my own website and think this would be the best way to learn as I seem to be able to retain info better that way rather than reading books on code etc. I feel I have enough knowledge of the best practices of the design side as I've picked up quite a...

Thanks for your feedback Paul. You are correct in thinking I'm looking to learn web development. Most (if not all) web designer jobs these days require the knowledge of front-end code and I have been showing an interest in moving across to digital design for a while now. I know a lot of folk...

I started working on Code Academy a while back and was making some good progress. The problem is that I haven't worked on it for a while and feel like i've moved a few steps backwards, which is frustrating. The key is consistency, well it certainly is for me.

Hi All, Over the last 6 months (on & off) I have been researching front end code and read some pretty useful books on web design best practices. I'm curious to see if anyone else has recently made the jump from print to web design and if so, what advice you can give? For me the hardest part...

A few things I would change; First off, I dont really know where to look first or what your trying to sell. There needs to be a promonent sales message to engage the user. Limit the amount of fonts you are using, its seems like you are using 2, maybe 3 fonts. You could also limit the amount of...

Hi, Agree with above. Could you maybe make the icons smaller and the text slightly bigger? For me they look dis-proportioned. I would also opt for a solid colour rather than the gradient.

Hi, Are you looking for this to be critiqued?

Thanks, I felt like this would be the option if payment came up. Appreciate the feedback.

The kind of service he offers is molar crowns/bridges to dental surgeries. So, no option of trading work. Yeah totally. This is why i felt awkward about even suggesting payment. He did agree for me to work on some ideas before i started so its not like ive went off on a tangent, spending...

Hi guys, I've recently offered to help a friend out runs a small business. He has no online/social media presence and his logo is very dated. So, in order to keep him relavant i thought it would be good to refresh his logo firstly. I have worked on some concepts and still to present to him...

So you like apple heh

I am currently considering getting rid of my iMac and buying a higher spec MacBook and monitor setup. My iMac is the 2009 24" model and has been upgraded to the highest spec. I'm just curious to see what hardware setup everyone else uses at home? Even better, post some pics!

Hi, When applying for a web designers role has anyone ever been asked to come in to perform a task in order to see your ability? I have recently applied for a role and have been advised that the task will be split into a design task and code task. Im not really sure what to expect and would...

Hi Levi, Yes I agree with you re the bakers hat, this was part of the brief though try and incorporate this business with the previous family business. Its good that they have no decided to move away from this is it is confusing. Points taken on stationary, thanks for your feedback. Its back...

Hi, Yes I agree with you re the dynamic element. In a sense they are a bit like an agency. Since working on these initial routes and presented them, the brief has changed slightly. I think they are the type of client who doesnt know what they want until they've seen other designs. The name...
