<description><![CDATA[There are few things in life that get me wound up more than banding problems. It doesn't matter if you are working at 72 or 300 resolution, it will eventually come to haunt you and will be largely based on the color combination you are using in your gradient. Before considering altering your colors or the contrast between them, let's try and correct it. I discovered this technique about 2 years ago after trying countless methods that never really gave me the results I was looking for.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Illustration and typography are not typically associated with each other, they each evoke a strong and separate visual statement in relation to there own style. Can this type (as a figure of speech) of illustration be regarded as illustration? Or, on the flip side, can the art of typography, mixed in with illustration be regarded as typography? If you are an illustrator or a typographer you will probably each have your own opinion. For us, its a match made in heaven. The combination of the two design styles creates something unique, it demonstrates that art has no boundaries, and ultimately will create something beautiful.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Even though this is not a common trend to follow but still as the new design styles come up, and as more and more designers notice them and make use of them in their work, this kind of trends emerge.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have noticed a recent rise in the number of logos designed in a retro style. Be it colors or design elements that remind you of an era past, retro logos are very charming and induce a sense of nostalgia. Swirly fonts and muted colors are a dead giveaway of a retro style. Then there are actual objects used that you don't see much anymore like the volkswagon vans and milk bottles. I have rounded up 40 groovilicious, really beautiful retro logos that are truly inspiring, some in their simplicity and some in their complex nature. Retro or not, all of these have a very retro vibe about them. What do you perceive as retro? What are your favorite retro logos?<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

It can get very confusing, especially for newcomers to the hobby, and there always seems to be something to new to learn, even for experienced photographers.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We all come across some seriously bad websites in our day-to-day lives on the Internet. It's just an unavoidable fact of life, like coming across monsters on the way to the market in video games. When you come across these things, you should approach them with a modicum of fear, for it is something you don't know, after all. But, more than that, you need to be brave, and you need to relish the experience with full sense of humor employed.
