10 Best Minimalist Web Design

Andrew — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 12:49:15 +0000

Once in a while I like to design something simple. Very simple that it doesn’t even have a graphic to represent one thing. Some people especially those who aren’t a designers or has no artistic mind, don’t really appreciate the minimalist design. As Leonardo Da Vinci once says “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication“. Anyway, here are my list of inspiration.

Web design coming to an end?

Andrew — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:05:02 +0000

I constantly asking my colleagues (all web designers) about the web design field. I believe that web design starting to slide down to rejection mode.

Pre-made template for USD25 or lower

If you do some simple Google, you would see a full list of budget pre-made web template. So how much does web designer’s time worth now? Hourly rate has been rejected in freelance community but it is still widely used by the client only.

PSD to XHTML for USD99 or lower

I think I don’t need to elaborate too much about this, you sure hear it and seens it too much on the Internet, especially on those web related topic. We, as a web designer spend hours of time to get it work on cross browsers and validate it, all require an amount of time.

Are those services killing we as a web designer? Not exactly, there are beneficial among web designer too. Especially yhose who work freelance. Pre-made template, has been inspiration for me, I don’t buy it, I just browse around, like CSS gallery. To save web designer time and hassle, PSD to XHTML service is a powerful weapon.

Little guide to pixel art

It’s been years I did not touch anything related to pixel art, but recently I started to follow back pixel art. However, I see more and more people are joining the field. Especially the youngest one. I still like how e-Boy update their pixel art one by one and combining them into a big city. I wish to do a pixel city too, should start today and see when can I finish the whole city

Anyway, in order to master some pixel graphic isn’t hard at all. As long as you have to logic on drawing by hand, you’ll definitely can pick up this art in no time with a little guide. Anyway here are some “theory” on how to draw pixel. It is totally up to your preference on choosing the right pixel program, Photoshop is the one recommended, Illustrator don’t work at all, forget it. As for me, I like to use Microsoft Paint to do this.

This is if you’re drawing an isomatical object, be it a box, building or human figure. 2-dot-end I would say. Very simple right? But this does not apply to all the pixel graphic though, don’t be misunderstand on the theory, this is a simple guide.

To draw a simple box, the corner is the key. The line on front could cause you a weird shape.

Pixel art need some practice. Honestly, this is the art that require so much time than any other computer art. Be patience! I’ve been drawing and deleting more or less a hundred pieces of pixel art!
