Inspiration and idea generation
I have recently been posting on websites that have caught my eye, minimalist website design and user interface design. When I design websites, mobile websites and PPC campaigns, I often look online for inspiration for page layouts, graphic design ideas and typography. I came across the following article which I found extremely useful – this article goes into detail on various web design elements such as typography, layout styles, the use of colour etc. This is a great read for anyone who is looking to have a web site designed or who is planning to build/design a website themselves. Take a look at the article and see how you could really make your dental web site stand out from the rest!

A Dialect of Our Own Design

CMS’s For Designers
A short deck by Andy Field that caught my attention with the way he chose to include his screen shots. It ends up being a pitch for a certain CMS (though I don’t think he’s affiliated) but the humor in slide 8 should not go unnoticed. Simple, to the point, and not wordy; plus the circles that aren’t circles are visually interesting as well.
