What you'll find in here
At the moment it's a little famished but there will be plenty to come, you can always subscribe to the RSS feed. So when you get the munchies for some delicious information you can head on over. I want this to grow into a flourishing design blog and a creative source for all sorts of things.
What's to come in the blog
It's not just a design blog; In here you'll be able to read about the ramblings of me, tips 'n' tricks for things like WordPress, CSS, PHP, Photoshop, some photography sessions and general madness. It's always good to get a bit of madness in.
This has been a little bit of a long time coming but I’ve been and still am so busy! Not that I’m complaining. Anyway down to the nitty gritty, here’s what’s in the update. I’ve added the following in both 16px and 32px sizes: Buzz, Dopplr, Dribbble, Forrst, Gowalla, Playfire, Soundcloud, Wakoopa.
The entire set now standing at 129 icons for you to use [...]

Over the past few weeks it’s been a bit quiet around here and the main reason for this is that I’ve been working on some super-secret projects with @callumchapman. Our latest project, DesignGiveaways, launched just today, in the past few minutes actually and it’s exciting stuff!
It went from concept, to design, to a rough HTML [...]

I found this ’springy’ text effect in the footer of the Desandro website and wanted to find out for myself how it had been accomplished. Anyway after a bit off CSS-ing around I’ve come up with this using the text-shadow property and some positioning techniques.

During the recent MacHeist madness I grabbed myself the first nanoBundle of the year which included a right good bunch of software including RapidWeaver. I’ve already got a copy of RapidWeaver so I thought why not give it back to you guys! If RapidWeaver’s not what you’re after then definitely stick around as I’ve [...]
