It's only through God's grace. He's really just put me in the right places at the right times. I can't honestly say it's been anything I've done on my own. I've ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/08/interviewing-dan-mall/ Photo by Dustin Diaz, Flash Bullet on Twitter @ded. Why do you enjoy social networking? I love people. When I'm out and about, I am always people-watching. I've been known to drift off in conversation because I find myself intrigued by people nearby and what they do. This is why ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/07/interviewing-jina-bolton/ It's apparent that you've been a great designer for years, but why the recent success? Good question. I ask myself that all the time! Well the obvious answer is Weightbot. Little did I know that the day I started designing a weight tracker on the iPhone would change my career ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/06/an-interview-with-mark-jardine/ Sweet mama, how can this page be so simple, yet so sexy? Yup, that's exactly what I said to myself when I saw dConstruct 2009's newest design by clearleft. I envy them in a very specific way. Simplicity and minimalism. Let me explain. We all know the kind of sites I design. ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/06/dconstruct-2009/ Gorgeous beakers at Dragon Labs. Click the image for a full view. Time for another inspiration post. This post is long, long due. I remember when I first saw Anand Sharma's work at Dragon Interactive. I was stunned by his clever gradients, pixel precision, cross-fading animation and level of ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/04/dragon-interactive-anand-sharma/ Holy flippin' hamsters, this site is beautiful. I don't know if I've seen a site that I love every "square" inch, but I sure do with Squared Eye. From it's calming hues, to it's sexy image preview tool tips, to it's subtle fading navigation, I love it all! I love ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/03/squared-eye/ I'm going to write about a very obvious inspiration, which is Tim Van Damme's site:timvandamme.com. This site very obviously has design cues taken from Apple's design style, yet it feels it's own some how. Rarely do I see a site and am compelled to design based off of that ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2009/01/timvandammecom/ Being the first of it's kind on my blog, I have to truly feel this iPhone/iPod app deserves it — and Weightbot does. I've been a fan of Mark Jardine's work for quite some time now and this app is no exception. From it's uber cute robotic theme to radtastic ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2008/10/weightbot/ I haven't been this inspired in a year, or around a year. Well, heck I don't know how long its been - but the last thing that inspired me this much was sneak peeks of Street Fighter 4's watercolor-y goodness. I was obsessed with the Street Fighter series as ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2008/10/design-inspiration-from-cabel/ I'm a sucker for a sweet illustration, especially a vector illustration if you can't tell. Every once in awhile I run across a sweet one and it really inspires me to get more detail oriented. I'm a details guy - that's how I roll when it comes to design at ... http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2008/09/eye-catching-illustrations/
