If you are really on a shoestring (i.e. you cannot afford a graphic designer), then I would really recommend Inkscape - which is to Illustrator as Gimp is to Photoshop. It's a bit foreign if you've never done vector graphics before, but if

Hello Yxven, I'm sort of in the same boat as you... I have been working on my start-up for a few months now, but I'm basically at a point where there's too much to do by myself. I'm more or less committed to seeing my project through, but I

The recording industry's bigger problem has been that for the past twenty years or more, it seems to have gotten the idea that its consumer base consists almost entirely of twelve year old girls, and at the same time the bigger companies ha

Just sent an email. Actually, I was addressing one of the previous post, but the entries were displayed in a wonky order... so sorry if you thought that was directed your way. Anyway, yeah I get the Feedburner/WP thing, but that was really

Sorry, I was just after some basic advice... maybe there are some websites specifically for this sort of networking or something? I'm really just throwing it out there in a generic sort of way to see where others might have started or lesso

More than anything else, it sounds like a great way to surround yourself with smart, creative people with a lot of ideas - sometimes you just need someone who doesn't know your project intimately to just point out the obvious or provide som

I've been looking for someone to work with on my social networking project, so give a shout if you would like to discuss it. Would be nice to reapply (or get funding elsewhere) with a strong team.

I typically generate css with php, usually in the header but sometimes in a linked file. Using this method I can easily alter site wide color or fonts, etc or feed the style atrributes from a database. This method also allows me to create b

I've keep thinking about the design for a solar messager bag for my laptop - I was looking for one online, but they're all naff. So I've been thinking about how I could just make one myself that I would actually take out in public.

I love Photoshop and have been using it forever, but it is really for photos. For web graphics its really all about Illustrator, and maybe InDesign if you want to get into layouts - they're almost the same, but InDesign is geared more towar

The conversion rate is embarrassingly low right now, but to be fair its only been live for a few weeks so maybe I'm just being impatient. I don't think so though, or at least I don't think its ever too early to start tackling the problem. A

I think my site works well for individual users, but would work even better within a community of users. My problem seems to be in making it clear what the benefits of the site are compared to similar sites out there. I get quite a bit of t

Yeah, I think about it constantly. I think everything was explained as clearly as possible - I hope so anyway - but there's still a nagging feeling that I missed something. And then there's the competition, i.e. all you other guys. I'm sure

With the exception of the slides, how might the presentations differ from a one-on-one pitch where you still might only have the same two-three minutes to convey the same basic info? I would image investors are very busy and would often wan

The bottom line is that people don't like CAPTCHA, and it cannot leave a good impression to irritate potential customers/users within the first five minutes of a visit. Most people don't really understand what they're used for, and they get

I'm really new to this game, but it just cannot image how going around talking about an idea could be remotely productive. I've got a lot of ideas - so what? It seems to me that if you fall into that category, then this is probably good adv

I appreciate all of your points concerncing the evaluation of design, in the early stages of development or otherwise, but I wonder what are your thoughts on the subject when considering a target audience/customer/end user? Certain people e

It amazing how quickly the company seems to have developed into something with a recognition beyond the development community. I first cam across it a few years ago while working in England, and that could not have been too long after its l

I'm sure it will all work really well in about fifteen years when everyone is talking about HTML6 or whatever - and there will be twice as many browsers to worry about.
