We’ve had a Flickr group for quite some time now. We’ll usually go there to see if anything catches our eye and something usually does. It’s a great place to find some true gems. In fact, at least a couple of your favorite Design Instruct contributors works were spotted in the Flickr pool and that how we asked them to write for all of you!

When people mention monochrome, it’s sometimes easy to think in just black and white or – more appropriately – “grayscale.” Monochrome can actually also mean the use of various shades and tones of one color. In this collection, we’ve compiled some very interesting use of monochrome color palettes in webdesign. You’ll notice that the designs are usually clean and has a quality of cohesiveness because of the way that the colors are used.
Recently, I had been thinking about the direction I wanted to take with my work as a photographer. Photography is my main creative outlet and it’s the medium in which I get to play around the most. However, as passionate as I think am about photography, I know I have a long way to go in terms of doing the work I really want to do with it.
As graphic or web designers we work with typography all the time, and even if we don’t all call ourselves typographers, setting type in one form or another is unavoidable. It’s a very large part of our job. And for hundreds of years it was our job alone (well, technically it was the type setter’s job, but bear with me here). Then desktop publishing came along and everything changed.
