If you haven’t seen Sherlock Holmes yet the best thing for me about the film (including the CGI shots of London) is the opening and closing title sequence. It a master piece of illustration and design. Read more about how it was done and by who here – Sherlock Holmes opening title sequence.
Using CSS for design and layout is a must for todays designers. Here are a few links to Grid layouts and CSS generators to get you started and saving you time when building a new site.
As a designer there’s something I love about typography – which leads me to this site which is a daily read in my rss reader.

Looking for something different to use that shiny printer for, then why not download these PDF creations and get the glue and scissors out!
I was looking around for typography inspiration not for a brochure but just for a fun web project. I came across Hyperakt Group, a design agency with some varied and interesting work.
Well produced website and some great work from this agency. I especially like the work they have created for BoxWish, great colours and some nice fonts used throughout the design. Great use of CSS make this site accessible to all.
Got my invite to a new service called Get Sign Off. It’s essentially a proofing tool that a client or team can then view and comment on. You can overlay notes and edits directly on the designs or documents (although only gif, png or jpeg can be used). You can follow these conversations via RSS or email.
I really like the simplicity of the service, it’s easy to set-up users from your team then create logins for clients to come in and add there comments and requests.
The one thing I have found is to delete a client you have to delete the entire project which is rather weird considering clients and there teams can change.
Other than that I can’t fault it, simple and easy to use. Get sign off is invite only at the moment, and once you do get an invite you don’t get any to share, so why not sign up!
Need some great brushes for photoshop, then take a look at Qbrushes. An excellent resource for all types of photoshop brushes.
