Designer’s Wednesday: Issue One

Are you a design student who loves learning more about design? Are you a designer looking for some inspiration, or a new technique here and there? Or are you simply a fan of good design?

If you’re any of the above readers, then you will likely enjoy this new (hopefully) weekly issue, called Designer’s Wednesday. I’m not going to be writing anything myself, but I will share the most interesting and useful tutorials, articles, and tools that I find online during the work week.

Basically, I’m going to be your design bookmark :) Enjoy!

Issue One:

Designing for the Web

- The web developer’s guide to 3D site building. 3D is here to stay, and it’s time that every web designer and developer sat up and took note.
- 40 Creative and Inspiring Website Backgrounds
- Best of WordPress 404 Error Messages (includes how to add custom error page in WordPress)
- Check list for better forms
- WordPress Footer Design

a
Photography Freak:
21 Great Shots and How They Were Taken. Okay, so the shots are not that great, but they do give you a great insight on how certain photography techniques are done. So many props, so much Photoshop.

a
Typography:
- Six Fonts That Piss People Off. Can you guess these six fonts? Hint: Two of them are Microsoft.
- Examples of Insert Typography in webdesign. I personally find insert typography really ugly, but this is interesting nonetheless.

a
Inspiration Match:
- Brainstorming Tips. A little  word-heavy, but useful.
- 40 Twitter Backgrounds.

a
Tools and Tutorials:
- 17 Useful Free Illustrator Brushes
- Traditional Sketch Rendering
- From Sketch to Vector Illustration

a
Fun:
- Cheese or font? Test your font knowledge! :) I got 8/10, but I actually only knew 1 font on the list. What did you get?
- Beethoven 5th Symphony as an animation

    I’m not a designer myself, actually I’m far from it, I’m a developer but occasionally I have to create some guis, my team leader is always telling me that my guis are crap :( I guess maybe if I read a bit I’ll learn how to make something decent and I hope he likes it, otherwise he’s stuck with command line tools for the next year and if he wants an interface he should build a one himself.
