Mobile Web Design

Mobile Web Design

March 19, 2010
Adjusting a site for the mobile environment is a great challenge. A lot of techniques you are used to applying on web design would not make any sense on mobile, and vice-versa. Mobile is a great place to try new things with different limits. People using the mobile web are much less patient than those in front of a computer--cellphone screens are much smaller and the mobile internet connection, usually 3G, isn´t as fast yet.

Beautiful Experimental Photos by Marcin Stawiarz

Marcin Stawiarz is an experimental photographer from Poland that has a sort of fascination for landscapes and urban scenes. I've been a great fan for a quite long time already and that's why I decided to share some of his photos with you, especially because Marcin is able to transform very ordinary subjects into almost surreal images through excellent illumination and different angles.

Beautiful Hand Drawn Websites

November 11, 2009
Illustrations are a nice way to give to your site a less formal style. With hand drawings, the style gets even less formal and also it gives to the site a super unique feel, allowing the designer to show off his/her skills. This type of element can be used for small details or even for the whole site layout. One thing is almost certainty, hand drawings will make your site looks more friendly, however it's very important to find the balance and make sure that they fit with the theme and subject of your site.

Incredible Nature Photos from Inebriantia

October 12, 2009
I can never get tired of seeing good photographies. Specially photographs so carefully taken as the ones from José Ramos, or Inebriantia at deviantART. He uses the light in a certain way that he achieves perfection on his landscapes, being almost impossible not to love his work. Each photo has a specific atmosphere and lightening, making each photo unique.

Beautiful Dark Light Photos by Alcove

May 01, 2009
One thing that attracts me the most in a photo is the light of it. I really like the atmosphere that different lights can bring to a photo making a normal street become very interesting. That's what Alcove's photos are all about: light. Particularly, dark light. Obviously, those angles are fantastic too. His photos look very surreal, including his not so dark ones.
