Dare I add drop shadows? Jun 28. 040

Hmm… shall I, shan’t I (Is that a real word?)? The question is should I do a subtle re-design (As everyone is these days) and add some drop shadows to my currently ‘flat’ layout?

Dare I add drop shadows?

Opinions please. :)

Clients hate scrolling Jun 17. 041

Why is it that clients hate scrolling web pages? They seem to make the assumption that users don’t understand how to use a scrollbar, or will think that the content has simply ended mid flow.

I’m assuming that I’m not the only designer to be faced with this issue, how have you dealt with it in the past, and hey, do you prefer paging or scrolling…? Me.., I think scrolling is just fine.

Drop Shadows are ‘In’ May 18. 049

I think we’ve all noticed that Drop Shadows are making a resurgence on the web. Having discussed this issue with some work colleagues recently I was interested to come across a post on Yellowlane about this very subject.

Edge Apr 27. 048

I remember the very day I bought the first issue of Edge magazine, it was during a summer when I was working for my dad at his offices in Lower Earley. This particular lunchtime I walked up to the local supermarket and handed over my hard earned cash for what was to become one of the most respected video games publications of the nineties.

Edges magazine, issues 1 to 107.

Early issues reported on upcoming consoles such as the ‘“3DO”:http://www.nerv.us/features.php?feature_id=18’, ‘Sega Saturn’ and early rumours of a ‘“Sony”:http://www.playstation.co.uk’ games console. Edge magazine is still running today but I stopped collecting some time ago; I have issues 1 through to 107.

The question is, what on earth should I do with them? Try to flog them on e-bay, or box em up and keep them for the memories?
