1. The .com was taken and I really liked Mixmatic as the name.
2. Thanks! I've been really concentrating on my design skills recently. Biggest tip to get good quickly: copy other designs and do it a lot. The design for this site leans heavily on the Instagram homepage. You just need to find another site that captures the feeling you're trying to create with your product and then put your own spin on it. Also looking up how books are laid out especially Renaissaincs era layouts that use the Golden Ratio like the Van der Graaf canon are very helpful. Email me I'd be glad to Skype some time.
There's no magic bullet. Everything's hard at first. But if you do it enough it gets easier.
- gonade 15y agoAwesome answer! Thanks. Next, I literaly code css in notepad, any tips on tools and things to speed up design work? A quick list of what you use?
- dshipper 15y agoNo problem! I use Photoshop to mock things up and then code everything in SASS in TextMate. Pretty basic setup but it works for me.
