February 17, 2010Why is it that for the vast majority of these design roundups, 90% of the sites are designers/design firms etc. It’s far harder creating something beautiful when the client is someone other than you. That would be a good roundup.

February 20, 2010Dark design isn’t easy to do. It takes time and skill and depending on the project/client and/or business type; it may never work even with the best designer(s).

For so long we have been told that only light colours work on line, this proves that is not so.
