How do I look on a PC? December 15, 2008

Filed under: Creative Ideas — Kickstock Photo @ 9:30 pm

If you develop websites themes, blogs or style html content then checking that your site looks good on other platforms (PC / MAC / Linux) and other different browsers is an important part of the design life cycle, without it your client might be looking at a finished site that looks somewhat different to what you see on your own monitor.

http://browsershots.org is a great, free website that allows you to select from a list of different browesrs on different platforms and download a screen shot of what you site looks like on those platforms.

(TIP: I recommend just selecting a few browsers to test as it makes the results process much quicker)

Focus on : Logo Design September 5, 2008

Filed under: Focus On — Kickstock Photo @ 9:40 am

The right branding and logo design is vital to enterprise success (these days even more so, where online there can often be little to mark out the team players from the supporters.)

The web is littered with design companies who will create you an identity for $29 or less, but a couple of great resources for those who want to spend a little more time designing the right image caught my eye this week:

logopond.com calling themselves ‘identity inspiration’ this site features some really great looking logos

logolounge.com i’ve highlighted an individual post on this site, they have a series of design trend articles back to 2003 which make interesting viewing.
