Natural beauty, the best of all kinds. Nature photography is soothing, gorgeous and breathtaking. Our collection of nature photos never missed to catch your attraction and appraise. So today, when we are testing our first Slide-Thumbs based inspirational post, I selected nature once again.

This is a collection of breathtaking nature pictures which include landscapes, mists, flowers and everything that is untouched by the 21st century’s man.
Please comment because this is the first of its kind post on Designzzz and we need feedback. Please let us know what do you think about the idea of Slide-Thumb posts and how can we improve it.

I came across this very cool little snippet to create inside dotted or stitched effect in css3 without using any images or background images here. There were many unnecessary lines of codes in the original snippet so I took the liberty of cleaning it up and providing you with this simple tutorial.

So what we are going to make is a 400 x 400px square with this effect.

In high traffic WordPress blogs/sites sometimes we have to face problems with our servers not able to keep up with the load and it results in a server crash. When this happens users are unable to access the website which creates a bad impression for daily visitors/readers. So to at least showing them a little excuse message of some sort would be a good idea. I googled a little and came across this awesome little snippet, here. This Micro Tutorial below will show you how to cover the Database related errors for your site’s users and show them a customized message. You can design this message as you like as it will be done via HTML/CSS.

Also in addition to that there is a mail function included in this code which will send you email whenever there is any error in your database and this page is displayed.

Blasting art is one of the most prolific online art, design and photographer communities in the world. These days BA (Blasting Art) is phasing through a redesign process. The Web Designer, Web Developer and Administrator of Blasting Art were holding meetings where they discussed the whole process. The Designzzz’s team was invited as the honorary observer to analyze the proceedings and present their views. Attending these meetings was by far the best experience a designer/developer could ever have. Seeing the masters brainstorming and learning all those tips and tricks was like “Learning on Steroids”.

Sharing fun and informative infographics with you has been a hobby of Designzzz. Today another interesting infographic was found. Techking published this cool info-bite depicting the story of graphic design, from Stone Age to this Jet Age.

This infographic is inspirational and informational for designers, but it’s just fun having a look at it regardless of your profession.

Original title of this Infographic is The Darwinian Evolution of Graphic Design – Infographic

This is a free Portfolio Web Template. In other words, you can get your hands on an elegant clutter-free web design, most suitable for personal websites such as Photographer’s Web Pages, Graphic Designers, Artists and other individuals running a small business.

A few days ago, we published a post “14 Advanced Level Photoshop CS5 Video Tutorials” which consisted of 14 iframe/embeded videos from youtube, vimeo etc. But it’s a known issue that WordPress editor will remove the iFrame code as soon as the tab is changed from html to visual or vice versa.  This is a real problem needed to be sorted out – so I did a little googling and found several fixes for this issue.

Out of those solutions this one seems to work well for me, I found it here.

Graphics made in Adobe Flash (previously Macromedia Flash) are the ultimate eye-catcher. There is just no other kind of graphics on the web which could be so bold or so charming. Because of its striking animated designing powers, many people find it to be the best design platform for their website.

If you are such a person who wants his site to be in Flash, you should visit a few flash templates. This would give you an idea how the designs work and what kind of colors and graphics would be most suitable for your website. I took the plunge, went to FlashMo.com and collected 25 of their best designs for your inspiration.

An iPhone is usually a designer’s or developer’s best friend. I happen to own an iPhone myself.  And I’m in love with it. The apps are amazing, and if given a hard look, you can find quite useful apps for free, for example you can visit Essential (Yet Free) iPhone Applications for Bloggers and Essential iPhone Applications for Photographers.

Today I bumped on a nice little Infographic that described the eco-friendliness of good old iPhone. I was surprised to know that this iPhone in my  hand contains parts which were made in three different continents.
