Design inspiration and thoughts on artful.design.

From picas to pixels, kerning to layer masks, the world of design can be a big place. Even bigger if you don’t know where to start. I spend much of my time trying to improve myself and run across lots of good links and good advice every day. And on occasion, I even generate my own thoughts on design and the design process! As such, I would love to share with the world what I have come across.

Every week, me and my fellow designers will be bringing you our favorite links and advice from the design field the only way we know how. Feel free to follow our RSS feed and please contact me if you would like to contribute your own thoughts to this blog.
