The Iso50 Field Guide to Color Management
2009-11-25 15:51:00 I am always brushing up on my technical knowledge of the printing process and color management, so I obviously have found this little field guide to be most helpful.

Featured / Scott Hansen and ISO50
2009-11-24 16:43:00 I have always loved and respected artists that can excel in more than one creative field. To me it seems to prove that one's creativity has no bounds, and that it is more than just learned mechanical processes (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity). Scott Hansen is an artist and musician that I have followed for years (although only recently on twitter), and his distinct style has always been an amazing mix of the old and new.

That List of Lists That List the Best Graphic Design Resources on the Web
2009-07-17 20:28:00 It’s not been a lot of time since I spoke about standards and quality of creatives here at WATBlog. Now one of the more important points that is often neglected though is the creatives and best practices involved in them. Better standards of design not only web but graphic improves user experience, advertising and in general creates a better looking web ecosystem. In a bid to provide more resources for budding digital designers in India, I thought of compiling a list of design resources from around the web. However, designers know designs best and I couldn’t come anywhere close to beating any of the following lists. So I decided to list them sort of as a bookmark for others to come back and read often.
