Here is an infographic that delves into the meanings of fonts and colors in the context of web design.

Font and color choices in a website say certain things about the owner of the site. Though colors and symbols may have different meanings in other cultures, this only reaffirms the notion that design choices do affect the perception of the user, which in turn affects the message attempting to be conveyed.

If I would be honest, I’d have to confess that I haven’t the faintest on what I’m doing. But then, don’t we all? I’ll let you in on a little secret: the digital universe is an ever-evolving, expanding entity that every single time you have to adapt, invent and evolve as well. It’s like the proverbial elephant in the room that no one talks about because no matter how long you’ve studied or practised or how many projects you’ve handled, each new project will come to you with a feeling of complete and utter incompetence.

And for me, not knowing if an idea is going to be big enough or strong enough or even just enough is what keeps me going. It makes my heart beat just a little faster and gets me trying even harder. And make no mistake, there are times when I feel like a total and complete incompetent idiot defeated by a single mousepointer over a blank canvas. There are moments when I could almost feel the idea creeping in yet still out of my reach and I move the mouse aimlessly as though it would somehow drag it into view.

People often talk about forces of digital, mobile and social as transformational, as they strip away the boundaries of time, distance, and mobility that have constrained humans for millennia. But at the end of the day, stripped away of the idea, they are just platforms no different from any other platform. You can stage a performance, you can fade into oblivion or you can start a revolution. All it takes is an idea. Plant an idea and watch it grow. Put a truly remarkable idea online and it will circle the world at the speed of the internet.

Kind of poetic.

One morning I will wake up, and I will not choose coffee.

No, that day, I will look around me, at my life, and I will be content. I will end it on a good note.

TARDIS Ring

patheticperipatetic:

I was bored and made this. Its a TARDIS based ring with a tension set 1CT Princess Cut center stone. The three round stones is the Police Box sign, the two sets of four baguettes symbolize the windows, and a small princess cut below that to symbolize the instructions found on the front of the Police Box.

This is priceless! For the “Sexy” in your life, I guess. The geek in me is mindblown and the girl in me wants this so badly. I wouldn’t mind battling a cyberman fleet with a Sontaran battle group, some Weeping Angels, a few Daleks and a Silent to get this little beauty.
