What do you think is the best colour to use on your website's background? Personally, I prefer white because it gives the impression that my site is very professional and it's always easier to read on white background.I've seen other colours like black, green, blue, and so on. Which background colour do you think is the best to use on a website?
can somebody rate my logo and maybe help me improve it. I think it works well.
Graphic Designing or Programming
I always use programs to do the work for me, I think a "creative mind" is important too, you can learn how to program or design things, but that doesn't mean you'll create great things...

Which one is better for web design...i´ve used fireworks...but a friend uses photoshop...both works are cool, what do you think?
for you, wich is the best graphic software? Photoshop? Paint shop pro? Gimp ? other?For me, i think photohop is the best because i use more function, but i use photophop in my office, because is more expensive. At home, use Gimp because is free.
A Few Pics: What Do You Think?
This is just some of my work, weel free to use the wall papers, and spred them around but give credit thanks alot give feed back, and some of them have been posted other places but these are the original copies[center]okay this is the blue indigo logo itself, (blue indigo is my forum)This is called Red Alert, this was my first attempt at a wall paper lol it was done by myself but it took me forever because i kept adding stuff and thinking it completely sucked but i think it turned out alright.
I honestly pick photoshop, why you say?its just so professional and paint shop seems like a kiddy version of it.it has better effects but is quite slow (only downfall)[note=moonwitch]Please don't cuss in posts[/note]
The PNG formatThe third, and newest, file format that's widely supported by the Web is PNG (pronounced Ping). PNG was developed to surpass the limitations of GIFs, and as a means by which developers can avoid having to worry about the patent licenses associated with other formats. PNG was designed to offer the main features of the GIF format, including streaming and progressive file formats. It also provides greater depth of color, catering to images up to 24 bit in color.It's expected t

There are alot of mistakes people make when it comes to designing a webpage. First is over designing a page, you don't want too much information on a single page. This includes pictures as well as text. Noone wants to scroll through pages of text to get to the info they are looking for. The best thing to do is to create a different page for each topic. Pictures, try a thumbnail gallery with individual pages for each image, not a bunch of different sized large ones, it just looks unporfe

Hey guys - remember the Ambience Skin we had for Asta for a good while? That had a real sexy and slick Logo.. That skins isn't supported anymore - while you can still select it using the skin selector at the bottom of the page, the skin hasn't been updated properly and hence it's going to work only for the front forum page. For every other page, it'll produce some fatal error and give out.Anyway, my point is - can any of your graphics gurus, make that old logo blend into the IPB

"Typography" can be a very visual thing in Graphic design. It can not only refer to the actual meaning of the words but also convey the different tones of a message. Different tone can interpreted the context differently, right? For example:In general, with the use of typeface, serif font is more classic and conventional, and san serif is more modern and opened; bold is for more emphasis, all lower case is more friendly, all caps message is much harsh or angry, etc.Have you ever applie
