We are considering a redesigning of Designzzz, for that I’ve been visiting lots of lots of blogs lately for design inspiration. So I thought let’s make a post and give you the same inspiration I am in quest of. So here I am with 30 excellently designed blogs. My criteria were simple, either the blog is designed creatively or the blog is complimenting the homepage superbly.
On Friday, when I couldn’t complete my scheduled post due to illness, I’d have thanked Tayyab but I won’t, for the obvious reason. I think he hears this headache thing so much that whenever somebody gives out this excuse, he believes it is a lie. And of course, since he filled in for me, today he is taking a day off and I’m filling in for him. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please have a look at the description text of: Essential Online Tools for Testing Your Websites
We have been focusing a lot on professional photography lately, today I thought to do something a little different. This is a collection of photographs taken by amateurs, or should I say, non-photographers, some of these images are taken from mobile phones.
This is a collection of people sleeping in odd poses in public places. And they look very funny, sometimes you might think they are drunk, but no, they are just zzZzzZzzZzz.
This is an inspiration for you because you can learn had you been the photographer, what angle would you have created!! I’m not giving these pictures as the ultimate example but as not-so-perfect example.
Beginner Level Photoshop Tutorial
Photoshop enables us to be god, we can make whatever we wish for and whatever we can imagine. Such a software would have loads of commands and features, people say that only advanced users and can make use of all of them and create mesmerizing results. Today I thought to challenge them, I have created a surreal photo manipulation using the very basic and simple commands which I believe even the beginners would know.
So if you thought creating a good photomanipulation takes too much time and only advanced photoshoppers can do that, think again!!
It’s not easy to keep pushing boundaries as you go along in your career. Just when you think you have your hands running briskly over Photoshop CS4, in comes CS5. Same thing happened with HTML4 and HTML5, all new features and whole new concepts make it very difficult to keep on learning and relearning.
This industry we have chosen is a drag race, we lose the grip for a jiffy and we go down to the last place. Today my target is to give you a few ideas for staying at first place, ideas which are easily implemented and fun to do.
Usually Jawad writes a web design tutorial on Fridays, but this time he told me that he had a headache so I should fill in for him. That sounds like a lame excuse, I think he learned this from his wife. This post lined up for Wednesday but this is going out today, let’s see what we do on Wednesday.
Anyways, getting back to today’s post, this is a collection of 15 essential tools to test a website for seo, accessibility, compatibility and performance. I highly recommend this post if you are a web designer or beginning programmer.
On Monday, I created a tutorial for Creating a Grungy Typography, thank you for your enormous response on that. I felt that this is a very hot topic so today I made a collection of Grungy Fonts.
You can of course create that typography but if you don’t have time, you need to create a grunge effect quickly, here you go. You can create eye catching designs with ease, for any kind of outdoor ad campaigns, such as billboards and print media.
There are many a times when a designer feels that he should avoid the nagging clients and all the business dealing, he wonders if there could a be a place where he can just go, present his designs and get paid. Such places do exist. There are two types of these places, Contest Based and Sale Based.
In the Contest Based places you present your design and compete with several other designers, then one design gets chosen and paid [heavily]. In the Sale Based, you just put your design on the market place and earn on each sale.
Today we’ll cover both of these kinds of sites. This post is for specifically created for designers so developers/coders/font makers might not get much out of it. The images I selected for the first part of the article are to give you an idea of what kind of designs are likely to be sold in large quantity on that particular site.
About a week ago, we launched a free giveaway of 123ContactForm Free Platinum Licenses. Today is the time to announce winners. But before we do that, let’s get to know our sponsors (that’ll also build some suspense 
)
123ContactForm is a SaaS (Software as a service) automatizes the creation of web forms. You don’t have to suffer from the pains of programming of which are destined to those who code such surveys and other forms. Over 150.000 users have tried 123ContactForm so far.
Art means to create something out-of-the-box, to create something against the trends and traditions of the society. The artists are the first one to dream the future. Some artists perform the duty of showing and bringing out the ugliness of our cultures, some do it through harsh imagery, some do it through satire and humor. Such paintings make our mind boggle, we think and rethink our way of thinking. Today I have collected such images which have a concept in them and they tell us a lot.
Most of the digital art is random, its not from any one particular niche neither does it focus on one topic. Its random and each image has its own story. This is a bit of experiment I have done today, hope you’ll like it. Please do give us your feedback.
