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.

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.

Downtime for me usually occurs around the time I have just finished a project or right before a new project is about to begin. Over the years I have learned that this time is actually very valuable and can be used to improve myself as a web designer. The following are a few suggestions of things that I do to keep myself productive during this time.

I have just finished reading Handcrafted CSS by Dan Cederholm and all I can really say is WOW! As a fan of Mr. Cederholm’s work, I have read and enjoyed each of his books and I had high expectations for his latest release.
Of course, my expectations were proceeded and I wasn’t let down!

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.
