Working For A Web Design Agency
Sep 2, 2010 General
The most obvious job for a web designer is working for a web design agency, but if you’ve never done that before… then how do you know what to expect? Is it even the right path for you? Setting foot in an agency for the first time can be daunting. It’s filled with people who have probably worked in the industry longer than you and who probably know a lot more than you.

A Collection of Mini Icon Sets
Aug 30, 2010 General, Resources
Icons can add a lot of meaning to a website or web app design. Used appropriately, they can make it faster for your visitors or users to complete the tasks they need to complete. But not every website design has space for normal, full-size icons (often 32×32 to 48×48 or sometimes even larger). That’s where mini icons can come in handy.
