Check out these cartoon strips which chronicle the progress in the womb from conception to birth.http://loneturtle.co.uk/birth/part1.htmlWell worth sending some print-outs to anyone expecting a baby or has recently given birth.... it might ease the discomfort a little.

When producing drawings for instructional diagrams and illustrations, it helps considerably to be able to draw hands; particularly if hand positions are an important factor (as in the guitar chord illustrations). The instructions of far too many flatpacks imply that it is necessary to have hands that resemble a bunch of bananas in order to complete the task. Put an end to this nonsense, I say!

One of the problems I have with the blog format is that it's a little like reading a magazine backwards. If you're starting a new business and just beginning to think about design (a logo, brochures, stationary signage etc.), you should definitely read the earlier posts.Here, I want to talk about the design process once you've decided that your business is going to grow. As stated in the last

I am occasionally asked "What's the point of creating photorealistic images? Why not just settle with a photo?" Well, apart from the fact that they are a joy to do (which is reason enough in my books), an airbrushed image offers a quality that no amount of retouching can bring to a photograph. Although applications such as Adobe Photoshop enable photos to be manipulated a greater extent than was

For the sake of continuity, I would advise reading "So who needs design?" before reading this post but it isn't a critical factor. Pick 'n' mix to your heart's content, I say.The answer to this question depends on your design needs and that, in turn depends on the kind of business you are running. If you are providing a small, one-man window cleaning service, you are unlikely to have the kind of

Well, in the broadest sense, we all do. Everything in our society is effected by design. Design not only decorates our homes and our dress, it also influences the decisions we make when purchasing anything. Package design has more influence on whether or not we buy the product than any written information on the box. We make our decision before we even hold the actual product in our hands.OK. The
