I’m going to keep this post quite brief as most of it will be image/link based. I’ve only been using Twitter for a short while (since February) but in that time I’ve discovered a wide variety of people either in similar design roles or who post fantastic design related links.

As I no longer do the whole #FollowFriday thing I thought it only best to post my recommendations here. And “Designers Rock” refers to the Group I’ve set up in TweetDeck just for these great Tweeps.

By the way, it’s 53 great follows then me, I’ll let you be the judge of whether I’m worth a follow

Oh, and if this is your first visit to this (very new) postmodem site, stay a while and have a look around.

As promised, this post is going to give you a small taste of my Brothers artwork. J has been sketching since we were both kids and personally I think he’s an extremely talented artist (although naturally I’m biased). I won’t talk too much about the work as it stands up for itself but we’d both love to hear your thoughts on his work so please leave your comments below. (more…)

Last Friday I had a bit of a problem. Nothing major, I just couldn’t get the contact form on the Postmodem blogs HashOne theme to work properly (something I should have checked before launch really). Anyway, although I knew that @obox (David Perel) couldn’t give tech support for the form I thought I’d just ask him about it. I was extremely impressed by how quickly David Perel responded and he soon got his brother @MarcPerel on the case.

Marc soon contacted me via Twitter and suggested talking on Skype, which i wasn’t really able to do whilst at work, but as I knew it would be a fairly quick conversation I decided to head over to TinyChat to start up a room. (more…)

The launch of Microsoft’s rebranded search engine “bing” on the 1st of June has left me completely speechless. Not through admiration I hasten to add but because it’s all been done so badly! This has to be the web equivalent of rubbernecking at a car crash – so please drive carefully.

The first I saw of the new bing logo was via this post over at the imjustcreative blog. I’m with Graham completely, it’s amazing that a company the size of Microsoft would actually sign off on such a badly designed logo. In contrast, take a look at the new logo for Google Wave – it’s pure simplicity in echoing the colours of the Google brand whilst creating a wave with the letter W is a definite win. Look at the logo’s side-by-side and see what you think. (more…)

Although there’s not a huge amount to see here at the moment I’m hoping that this blog will soon become home to all of my rants and ramblings on all areas of graphic and web design.
