I came across this link on topdesignmag.com and felt it would be a good resource to share.

Patterns, resources and news for creating responsive web experiences.

Styling form elements is a pain point when developing web applications. Historically, web developers have had to accept the form controls the browser provided with little hope of customization. However, web rendering engines are increasingly adding hooks through pseudo-elements to give authors some control over the display.

The design/development community evolves in a fast pace and it is very hard to keep track of everything that is happening around us. This is why we like to gather resources and tools that can make your life easier. Which is what we’ve done for this post. From a text editor, to a plugin to help you with grids, I’m certain you will find these tools very useful.

Noupe has something to give away for free that you’ll like it. The creators of Freepik came up with a big icon-set of 500 symbols and decided to make it available exclusively through our lovely Noupe Magazine. We share it only with our German sister Dr. Web. Read on to learn how to get hold of Freepik’s Web Mega Bundle 500.

Most probably every designer knows of Lorem Ipsum, the dummy text which many use. It’s a great way to get a feel of what a part of a design will look like with copy if you don’t have any yet. But if you’re bored of Lorem Ipsum there is a new, minimal dummy font called BLOKK. As the name suggests, it simply leaves blank coloured blocks wherever you paste text.

The font is completely free and is available for anyone to use how they like in their mockups.

Working on a refresh for my company Airborneapps. Getting closer to launching our first apps and thought is would be nice to refresh the home page. That and switching gears to work on something creative is a nice break from code.

It's that time where the old look just looks, well .... old. So the head of the group gave me the puppy dog eyes and asked if would redesign the groups branding. Of course I said yes. What kinda troll would I be if I said no? Besides, the puppy dog eyes kinda worked. Don't judge me. Anyway, she loves the original bird and wanted to keep it. In addition to that, she had a "circle" in an earlier idea so I made sure to keep those elements in. Here's what I came up with.

I was contacted by the CCA who asked if I would be interested in helping them with redesigning their logo. Since the CCA is a legitimate 503c, I offered to work with them through Design Donation.

After some research about their community, I came up with 4 different designs for them to choose from. This was the first idea I had but not the first one I designed. Sounds backwards but not really. Since it was the first idea, it wasn't going anywhere and I still needed to discover the others hiding in my head.

The community is very diverse but nature brings it all together. The area is known for golf courses, beaches and palm trees which is why I chose to go the scenic route.
