On tablets of stone

The 10 Commandments of Web Design

1. Thou shalt not abuse Flash.
2. Thou shalt not hide content.
3. Thou shalt not clutter.
4. Thou shalt not overuse glassy reflections.
5. Thou shalt not name your Web 2.0 company with an unnecessary surplus or dearth of vowels.
6. Thou shalt worship at the altar of typography.
7. Thou shalt create immersive experiences.
8. Thou shalt be social.
9. Thou shalt embrace proven technologies.
10. Thou shalt make content king.

In a Former Life 2

Eek. I Might be turning back into scary printmaker. Am off to another printworkshop at Hutt Art Society on July 12th.

And am getting the Press Gang etching press shipped up from Invercargill when our garage is (re)built.
