Adobe Muse

"Design and publish HTML websites without writing code."
 

"Create websites as easily as you create layouts for print. You can design and publish original HTML pages to the latest web standards without writing code. Now in beta, Muse makes it a snap to produce unique, professional websites."

I've been hearing a lot about Muse lately. I think it is definitely revolutionary and useful for designers with little or no experience working with html/css. This is a big step in the right direction for artists looking to design websites for themselves and potential clients. Now graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and fine artists can create their own sites without hiring web developers to code their designs. Whether or not it will dominate the web and take over other popular web developing programs (Dreamweaver) is still questionable.

Letterforms 101

This quarter I am taking a letterform class. I am learning about the classic fonts, such as Garamond, Helvetica, Bodoni and so on. Typography really intrigues me and I find myself wanting to learn more about it. In doing so, I stumbled upon a really well-organized article on it. Anyone looking to explore type design should take a look at this: Describing Letterforms

Fonts

After looking through my bookmarks again, I found re-discovered a site with a list of 104 free fonts for designers. It has some really nice, clean, and popular fonts for graphic/web designers. Really, the fonts are for anyone with an interest in typography. These are just the free ones, but there are plenty more out there if you have extra cash to spend. I highly suggest checking this site out.

FYI: this is an old technique, but still good to know. The newest version of wordpress does all of this for you via plug-ins, which are much easier to find and install.
