I get a lot of emails asking how I output the comments in a column format. Here’s how.
Another super-simple shadow trick in Photoshop for looking down on objects.
A nifty trick for shadows on upright objects that’s dead simple in Photoshop.
Lately I’ve been getting pretty used to having my designs ripped. Doesn’t mean I dislike it any less.
I’ve been thinking more about Scott Stevenson’s great post debating Google’s approach to designing by data.
TweetDeck is a great application with a pretty average dock icon. This morning I decided I’d whip up an pair of alternatives.
So you’re reading this thinking it may be slightly interesting. Maybe because the title seemed catchy, but not because this applies to you.
So I just found out Digitalmash has been featured in last month’s MacUser ‘10 of the best online portfolios’. Huzzah!
So as I recently mentioned, I’ve finally made the move from WordPress across to ExpressionEngine.
Well after a wild couple of weeks, I’m back in action.
Introducing a minimalist, image-free, grid-based theme for WordPress in three tasty flavours.
I get a lot of people on either sides of a university degree asking me advice on how to establish themselves in the wide world of web design.
Here’s a tiny trick in Photoshop for having evenly spaced text items for things like horizontal navigation menus.
So the lovely folks at .NET magazine got in touch recently to ask if they could include Digitalmash.com in the gallery section of their mag.
I have a confession to make. Like quite a few designers, I’ve got a sprinkling of OCD about me.
Well it’s that time of year again. Things are winding up and for most of us, we’ll have a little time away from the grindstone.
Nearly two-thirds of people know statistics are boring.
Isn’t it nice when people do nice things and ask for nothing in return?
So I recently had a scary realisation when I noticed a very familiar diagram on the back of the shampoo bottle in my shower.
For anyone thinking about starting a career in web design, I’d like to share 5 things I’ve come to love and hate about designing for the web.
Well, a little over a week into the new site, we have our first rip of my design. Sigh…
No, I’m not talking about drugs. I picked up a cheap drawing tablet recently and thought I’d share my first experiments with it in Photoshop.
Ok, I admit — it’s a title that could turn some people off. It’s going to be a nightmare searching for it on google. But dammit, if nothing else, it’s original.
So here we are. The first blog post on a fresh newly designed site. It’s like sliding into freshly pressed bed linen.
Sometimes (and I mean, only sometimes) the most grueling design jobs can be the most rewarding.
This is the story of how one idea can inform a whole campaign and visual identity.
What’s in a name? Well, I would argue that if your product’s good, then probably not that much.

Tuesday at 03:45 PMThank you, this touched me. I just signed a contract for a really enjoyable job after years (and years, and then it felt like some years more) of studying and starving. And now, in the end, I feel like it was all worth it (despite the millions of doubts on the way). I do not design for the web, but your points still make sense.
