Free hearts patterns, twitter backgrounds and vector graphics
Over a dozen variations of a seamless heart pattern that can be used as a Twitter background, made from a number of carefully tweaked heart symbols. You’ll find two types of patterns: one like that featured in the above pic, with the icons as well as the background of various colors and another which uses one or two symbols in a repeating or alternating manner. There are also included five swatch groups mostly consisting of analogous red hues. Some of them work well as [...]
Fanboys beware! This apple might have become rotten
I honestly didn’t mean to write this post about the glossy forbidden fruit. Yet, a good friend of mine, Apple fangirl nonetheless, dared me to do it (in an almost Biblical twist), secretly hoping i would give her some slack afterward. Since this isn’t science or religion (I’m not an expert in Appletology nor do i preach the iGospel) i might make mistakes in how i perceive this corporation but since perception is often a more important factor than the cold hard facts all [...]

Feedback, communication and respect during a design contest
One of the most frustrating aspects of participating in online design contests is receiving little or no feedback at all. There’s no point to single out a certain website, because you’ll get to see the same pattern, whichever one you browse. Once you go past certain guidelines, which let’s face it, are mostly empty words published to inflate some corporate egos and project a spit polished aura of false empathy, it boils down to the type of human beings that interact within those online [...]
