Eco web and logo design blog

Once in a while we come across a fantastic website that we find very helpful in our daily reading. Deziner Folio is a blog full of fantastic design resources with an emphasis on tips, tricks, and downloads. The site is run by a talented photographer who understands composition and colour theory, and how to apply those elements to design. Check out the Flickr stream for examples of some amazing photography.

Here’s a brief list of some areas of interest that we found very useful for web and graphic design:
