Gradient Fever: Devistating Illness

I’ve been viewing *a lot* of screenshots lately that are (obviously) based upon using Gradients as their main artistic feature. While I understand the usefulness of gradients at creating defined spaces on a UI, there are ways *not* to use them. Granted these are my opinions, but then again this is my blog! So, below [...]

**If you read some garbage here about using the forums isntead of comments…um…that was like the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. I’m not doing that – each post is like its own thread in a forum…no reason to replicate it elsewhere**

Hopefully during the course of this comparison, a compelling and mesmerising review of his work will emerge. We’ll see. I’m actually a lot more divisive than that – [...]

*Waves hands wildly in the air*

I’ve been having database issues for the past few days, which have been eating my new posts like a fat kid eats cake covered in sprinkles. At first I didn’t know what was going on, but it had something to do with the mysql database not being able to retain new data – which makes [...]

Designer Highlight: Halcyone

To start off this new feature, I’ve selected one of my all time favorite UI designers – Halcyone of <PALS FOR LIFE>. I lied yesterday when I said the two would come out on the same day. I’ll be posting Hal’s UI Highlight tomorrow.
Let me start off by saying, probably, the most important and interesting [...]
