Considerations of Mobile Web Design
According to Ofcom in 2011, 37% of adults and 60% of teens admitted to being highly addicted to their mobile phones. Indeed, when you also consider the ubiquity of such mobile devices as smart-phones and tablet computers from such big names as Apple, Samsung and Sony, not to mention the more mobile work patterns and lifestyles that have accompanied them, it’s not surprising that there are so many firms out there that are now investing in mobile web design.
After all, whereas it was once the case that you only really needed to build the design of a company website around the requirements of desktop PC users in order to extract the most revenue from online trading, the reality today is that more and more of these potential customers are now accessing the web much more frequently ‘on the go’ via their mobile devices. These are customers that are being continually targeted by companies that have long realised the value of mobile web design and application development, and they’re companies that are potentially robbing your firm of its own erstwhile customers.
Critical issues with mobile web design

Nonetheless, there are various critical issues to mobile web design that you are going to have to carefully consider if you are to get the design of your own mobile company website right. These include ensuring that your mobile web-page has been designed with the smaller screen of a mobile phone or tablet computer in mind. You’ll also want to invest in mobile web design that ensures maximum usability, in addition to incorporating elements that really grab the attention and interest of the end user… much as is the case with traditional web design. In this instance, there is much to be learned from the smart-phone and tablet optimised applications of such major websites as Facebook.
30 Uniquely Designed Wedding Invitations
A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage or a similar institution. This single event is probably the most important in every couples life. You are taking an oath to be with your soul-mate for the rest of your life. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. As a designer your job is to distinguish those qualities and design accordingly.
Preparation, presentation and celebration are the key steps to a successful wedding. Today we would like to focus mainly on the preparation. What is the very first and one of the most important parts of any marriage ceremony? You have to send out invites and get an estimate for all attendees. From then on you will have to book/plan everything accordingly to that number of guests.

Abandoned House Photography by Kevin Bauman
Kevin Bauman is a proficient photographer from Denver, Colorado. He is the brains behind the abandoned houses project. Once a city of almost 2 million citizens, Detroit has since lost over half its population over the last 60 years. The current count is less than 800,000. Many homes are filled with emptiness, as well as sadness.
The abandoned houses project began innocently enough roughly ten years ago. Kevin began photographing abandonment in Detroit in the mid 90’s as a creative outlet, and as a way of satisfying his curiosity with the state of his home town. How could an area that was obviously once a wealthy enclave in the city become an example of the downfall of American cities?
