about this area
A "just for designers" area? What does that mean? Simply put, it's a place for all graphic designers - aspiring and experienced - to help each other out, learn more about designing blogs and websites, and teach others the skills they already have. It's my view that everyone should have access to the facts of designing - how to change colors, how to style titles, and how to add other elements. It's a person's creativity that sets them apart, that makes them unique. And creativity can't be taught. So we'll supply the facts - you supply your own creativity. Come and join us as we learn more about this fascinating world.
