Kick my Habits.

Kick my Habits.

Kick my habits is a website that asks you what your habits are out of a selection of habits. If you say that the selection is your habit, then it will ask you how much you spend on that habit a week. At the end you "kick your habits" and it'll tell you how much you spend a year on them! The design is a super cool idea. It's cartoonish but very modern.

I love this design because it looks so hand drawn, by pencil and paper. The creativity in these images are stunning. The guy who did these images is a hard working man who spends most of his days in the design studio. I also like how his site is named so simply. Made by Tim.

Illustrator for Web Design?



When people think of making a new design for their new web page, their mind commonly thinks of using Photoshop and Firework. Many don't know the helpful benefits that Adobe Illustrator can provide. One benefit is that it is quicker. Unlike Photoshop that requires you to create more layers to add more things, Illustrator has an artboard that allows you to click, size, and do whatever you want to anything you had added which saves you more time. It also allows you to create very complex, clean looking logos by using very simple tools. Your designs are very consistent and you don't have modular design limitations that Photoshop does have. You could create some of the most amazing, pixel perfect designs with Illustrator, all you have to do is give it a try.
