I recently came across an article by Shannon Noack in which she wrote about common misconceptions about web designers. She mentioned how people have the misconception that designers are living large based on how much they charge. After reading that, I began to think about how in our industry we’re forced to prove ourselves in ways which wouldn’t ever be asked of in other industries.

Last week the amazing Andy Clarke put out a call to designers to create a fictitious business card for an upcoming book he is working on entitled “Hardboiled Web Design”. The idea was to create a business card for a fictional detective agency and to be as creative as possible. After a week of submissions and 81 designs being submitted, Andy has announced his favorite designs!

The people over at Smashing Magazine have really outdone themselves with the release of their new book! This book is hands down one of the best web design related books I have personally read. The amount of information that is covered is outstanding and I would highly recommend this one to anyone that is involved in the web design industry or web development.

I do not write about web design industry news or designers. There are plenty of sites out there that supply plenty of web design news along with a plethora of top 10 to 100 lists of everything design related.
Today though I wanted to give back a little something to a few designers that have been outstanding and very helpful recently.
Pixelflips is my online home and design blog. My focus is to design clean, user-friendly websites and to build lasting relationships with my clients.
I have been involved in web design, front-end development, website optimization, and SEO since early 2002. I have a strong passion for web standards and best practices and construct unique designs with clean, well-structured code behind the scenes.
If you have a web project you would like to discuss, please feel free to drop me a line anytime.
