Future This, Read That

I’ve been reading up a bit lately on graphic design (it started out as a required speech, and has developed into – dare I say it – college planning?) on YouTheDesigner.com.  Here’s just a few of the articles I found most useful, especially for someone like myself who wants to get into professional designing.

Tips for getting into graphic design school.
Five complimentary skills to graphic design.
Six people every graphic designer should know.
Ten great places to find web design jobs.

A couple other random bits I’ve found useful.

Technique for creating hand-drawn designs.
Dealing with CSS font sizes.

Personally, there’s not much to update.  School is almost literally driving me crazy, and I have less than a week to catch up on all I’m missing.  That wouldn’t be a problem if Speech wasn’t so demanding – it’s taking up all of my stinkin’ time!  /cries at little

    Hey Aerith,

    It’s really nice to hear from you! The reason why my links hover white is because on my sidebar, the links are kind of dull and so to let my visitors clearly see it, I make it white text on black =) I hope that made sense XD lol and what does tut mean? o.o I’m assuming that is a bad thing haha yeah, the thing is that I’m too lazy to switch to Fanupdate or WordPress at the moment and I’ve never dealt with hack, spam, or any other problems with cutenews before, so yea Dx there’s just no motivation, just more inspiration to keep cutenews from sites such as atomicaffliction.com and faketheway.org, but yea, someday I should probably switch out of cutenews, yea? x|

    Very nice website btw!! I’m amazed if you designed this layout, very nicely & professionally done. It’s really flawless, nice job!

    yes XD that’s why the link hovers white also on the white background content section. I have the same attributes for all links default. The link at the top FF3 hover color is changed to grey.. haha, yeah, sorry I didn’t know what to do with that XD

    and yea well this layout is still amazing =P I’ll be looking forward to your designed layout when you get it up! =D let me know! haha ~

    lol! haha nah, Pi is actually the main character in the book. He’s indian and gets stuck on a lifeboat after everyone else dies from the ship sinking with a zebra w/ a broken leg, a hyena, an orang-utan, and a tiger. Basically a survival story XD
