Ever since I got a hold of my mom’s Brownie camera when I was about 5 I’ve been fascinated with old cameras. When I was a teenager I used to scour the thrift stores in search interesting looking old pieces. I didn’t care if they worked or not (although I did come across a few working cameras which I made pretty good use of when I went off to art school), it was more just the design of the things.
Between JQuery and HTML, our old friend for animation on the web, Flash, has been feeling pretty neglected lately. While we do think it’s a good thing that there are some alternatives for adding a little movement on the web, and less people are using it inappropriately, there are still a number of instances where Flash could be exactly what your site needs.
One of my favorite things to do is look at vintage design and illustration to gain new inspiration and to see what’s been done in the past in the realm of graphic design and illustration.
During a recent outing to a bunch of local thrift stores and sifting through vintage record albums I noticed that a whole lot of them included original illustration or artwork.
Just a look back at the JV Media Design website over the last decade on the eve of our newest design launch!
Some thoughts on creativity in web design and why we don’t use design templates.
