    Thanks guys I realize this isn't a new topic, my bad! I will definitely be getting copies of some of these, I am always surprised how much their is to learn about typography. Where can I get your book from Andy? I had a look on amazon I like some of the sections you'e gone into, like different...

    Reading Lists? (any recommendations)

    Hey guys, I've been teaching myself graphic design for a few years but could do with some definitive tuition, I have a degree in Computer animation and I have classical art skills from college. I am a generalistic visualisation artist from a VFX/art based background that's looking to get more...

    Getting ready for print Margins bleed etc.

    Thanks Kate and spottypenguin. Just over analysing, I wasn't sure if scale was more important and if I should compensate for this.

    Getting ready for print Margins bleed etc.

    The documents I create are due to be mass produced as a handout with our products however at present they are available on request so they are generally printed on a domestic printer, would you suggest using margins so that important information isn't cropped out, or would you use the whole...

    I understand the bleed, its more to do with scaling, when I print a PDF it asks me to scale it (on a standard printer), thank you for getting back intouch.

    Hey guys. I've been really busy at my new job for the past three months basically re-coding and re-designing the entire marketing website and control panel for txtlocal. Go take a look, and let me know what you think! Without being biased, I think it's so powerful and a really vital tool for...

    Need some help with mod_rewrite

    I don't like mod_rewrite. It gives me headaches. :) Can you help me out? I have a URL like: http://www.domain.com/?page=homepage&key=abc123&string=def456 I want it rewritten like: http://www.domain.com/homepage/?key=abc123&string=def456 All query strings are optional, so the rewritten URL...

    Cant decide on hosting :(

    I can see from their point of view - but surely there must have been something else. If I didn't have the two bits of ID they needed, the only other option was brick wall? It's tricky I know, but at the time it was very frustrating and even though that kind of problem will never happen again...

    Cant decide on hosting :(

    I guess it was partially my fault, but they weren't helpful. My CC expired and I couldn't log in to my account to renew a domain name. But because my email on the account was actually on the domain that expired, I couldn't get any password reminders or anything through. They needed a fax of...

    Cant decide on hosting :(

    Streamline.net is Fasthosts. 123-reg screwed me over a domain many years ago and I don't trust them even a tiny bit anymore.

    Cant decide on hosting :(

    Just signed up and encountered my first problem. Submitted a support ticket and it was resolved within 40 minutes. So far, jolly impressed! Actually, the support email came from a "Phil" ... was that you? (about custom DNS records)

    Cant decide on hosting :(

    Phil, I'm looking for a Linux reseller package that's affordable. I'm moving away from Fasthosts (as an employee, I'm given a generous staff discount but some account limitations, but my last day working for them is looming quickly). Open Mind Hosting looks like by far the best featureset for...

    Re-design Critique

    The sidebar is really bad - making it white (perhaps with a thick border-left on the blue background colour) might make it less jarring. Change the default blue link colour too - it looks unfinished. And the footer link-spam is awful and messy. The blue-on-black background colours don't mesh...
