Amazing Vector Landscape Illustration Websites
May 19th 2010 by
Vector landscapes are very popular trend in web design these days, and in my opinion, when done well, the use of vector graphics and landscapes can create amazing artist images and designs, that can be very aesthetically pleasing and can create a fun, whimsical, almost cartoon-like feel. I really enjoy the use of illustrated elements in some web design, especially when they incorporate vector landscapes, because they create a unique style and feel. These illustrated vector landscapes, can be used in the header, footer, or incorporated through the entire design, and when they are done well, can make for a great site. Here is a collection some websites that use amazing vector landscape illustrations for your inspiration. Please feel free to ad links to any you find! Enjoy!
19How to Keep From Getting Burnt Out
May 17th 2010 by
I have had the pleasure of interviewing many designers and developers and one thing they all seem to have in common is they all agree that they love their job. Most of them expressed to me that they feel incredibly lucky to have found a job that they love doing, and how easy it is to do something that you love. However, the majority also seem to be freelancers or own their design or development company, which can present problems when you cannot differentiate between your work and your free time. It is important not to get burnt out when you spend every waking minute in front of the computer, which is a problem my own designer/developer husband used to have. So, I came up with a list of things to consider to keep yourself from getting burnt out if you work as a freelancer!

5Creating a Bubble Coda Style with CSS3
May 12th 2010 by
As I have previously mentioned, CSS3 allows for web techniques such as: text shadows, rounded borders, animations, custom web fonts, and much more. CSS3 has a great future in web development and I have being reading and learning as much as I can about it! The downside currently to CSS3 is that some properties of CSS3 are only being supported by Safari and Chrome; however, Opera started supporting some, but the implementation is still buggy. I have prepared a few other tutorials about how to use CSS3 to make an image gallery with animation and an animated horizontal menu. Continuing with the CSS3 tutorials, today we are going to create a tooltip using the famous coda style, which allows for an animated pop-up window that makes for a great effect. I hope you find the tutorial useful! Enjoy!
