I guess 15 years too late is better than never.
Nice work! Honestly the design is fantastic! I guess you are able to do this in your spare time if you are really good at managing your spare time eh?
Absolutely! If it means helping to define and grow the culture I can do my best work in. To work with people I admire and trust(and may even be around for the next thing).. that's better than most jobs anywhere and…
Moved to San Francisco and spent time with people smarter than myself.
Also, 35 an hour might be too low. Charging more makes a great first impression, and cheap clients are rarely worth it.
Yogo brings up a good point. You can get solid work via referrals, craigslist and e-whatever-lance by rolling a few wordpress themes and customizing wordpress sites. You may be underestimating the value of intermediate…
Diamons: "For flare, I'd make the body text such as username/password small like an 11px font." I am curious why you would say that?
This is really good advice!
I do, but that's because I am not a developer so a lot of the information on HN is novel and outside my usual knowledge base. That, and the designer digests available on the web are so dumbed down it's hard to stomach.…
oops, numbering got away from me there.
1. Read the good books in print. While the web is a wonderful resource for developers, it is not the same for designers. Most of the tips and tricks complied on the web are of little value for actually learning design.…
I searched "front end" and separately "UI" and the graphs are staggering -- for those searches it's nothing but boom time. I would expect similar results for "python" or "ruby"
As a way to send information is email unsurpassed, however from the receivers perspective the signal to noise ratio quickly favors noise.. and by that time it is difficult to adjust. The real failing is that the…
I have been in similar situations with very distracted CEO's who just thought of everyones input as opinions, or content to digest. Big problem, but solvable if you get another engineer to help make cases with you and…
Depends entirely what you mean by copy. Here are 3 very common scenarios and likely outcomes. Copy verbatim is really frowned up. Stealing an image outright is seriously frowned upon (you get served a DMCA notice or…
I'm thinking about teaching a class on this, if you want to be a guinea pig and give me some feedback on what you think are the most relevant parts of a designers oeuvre are, we could try it over coffee and look at some…
I agree with the Split test, but also while you are at it, run some landing page test. However, that means you have to have alternatives to test, so get the visual design stuff right and have a few versions to test with…
Here some advice from Ryan Freitas http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/5840343627/so-you-want-to... Here a couple of red flags to look out for. They are looking to be a billion dollar company. This is another way of…
No need for that step, ask you designer to try this. In settings, make set all increments to pixels. Then set the grid to 1px X 1px (in some unobtrusive color) When creating a new doc, always go to view / (check) snap…
Your best bet in my opinion is learning Fireworks, it easy to make vector wireframes, and is is meant for churning out web optimized assets. The 9 slicing is huge help when reusing buttons, modules etc. Plus, there are…
This is just plain wrong. Before adobe released the "align to pixel grid" and the preview in pixels (since CS or before) there has always been any easy way to work on a pixel grid, and snap everything. If you dont know…
I'm sorry you received such praise for the design of these, you may have been mislead. But yes, it's its entirely possible to hack together a look-a-like design and people will like it, but that does not make it good…
