Getting Real: A Process, Not Just a Book

Photoshop: A Design Process
Over a course of 3 articles or so, I’ll explain the process in which I use, to design, and develop the hand-written sites using css.  After a few talks with a couple of other designers, I’ve come to realize that my process might be unique, and that it might help others as well.  The first article will explain the beginning of the photoshop process.

CSSVault No longer?

One would suspect that after launching a brand new design that there would be a lot more activity as far as updating goes.  But when it comes to CSSVault.com, that’s apparently not the case.  This site launched a new redesign of its css showcase site on April 16th, 2006 - It is now August 9th, 2006 and there hasn’t been a new submission yet.  Talk about running your own project into the ground...So much for #1 CSS Top Sites.
