StumbleUpon

Author: Luigi | Filed under: Articles, Internet

If you’re not already using it, Stumbleupon.com is a great way to learn about industry related items, see great works of art and be exposed to new things. All you do is set your parameters of what you like, and start “stumbling”. Hit the button and it brings you to a random website withing the tags that you’ve set. Like a webpage?…. hit the like button and send it to your favorites, saved for you on your profile at stumbleupon.com. It then uses what you like and dislike to generate more related sites. It’s the best way to find those hidden gems on the internet.

Be sure to find me there too Onorevolev

What is a favicon?

Author: Davide | Filed under: Branding, Ideas, Logo Design, Web Design

A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. If you go to this link:

http://www.degraeve.com

and fallow the instructions, you can have a pic of your website logo next to your domain address as well.

The better a logo the greater the probability that your clients will remember you, and get back to you. For that; Graphic designers have to be creative and have to work their buts off in designing beautiful, unique logos.  And the results they come up with is a  testimony to their hard work and their results are stunning and spectacular.

Author: Luigi | Filed under: Fonts, School, Typography

There is nothing more challenging to us, as the instructors, then trying to get new designers to understand, and respect typography.  I find that a majority of the time typography is considered least of the entire composition.
