I can be a blessing or a curse, some weeks you’ll love me, some weeks you’ll hate me. There are times when I make life seem great, then there are times when I prevent you from pursuing any life at all. I will drive you insane every May and June and you’ll be relieved when I’m over, yet you’ll always wish I wasn’t. What am I?

So whenever I stumble upon a good tutorial which I think I can really learn from, I bookmark it and try to find the time to mimic the effect.

A few days ago I read an excellent tutorial by Veerle Pieters called illustrator Pucker and Bloat Effect and more and thought I’d give it a go as I very rarely use the pucker and bloat distortion tool.

You’ll know that HTML is your means of serving up content and that your pretty gradients and curved edges should be applied with CSS. So as soon as you started using CSS properly you instantly started advocating semantics and using it as a marketing tool on your website.

But are you actually coding semantically…?

So why, when I was so close to finishing, did I decide to completely change the colour scheme?

The Never Ending To-Do List Finally I’ve got the site to a launch-able state! I must be my own worst client – the scope creep I have had to put up with over this past few weeks is insane. I just need a bit of tweaking here and there…
