My 2 pennies worth: I'd take away the modal window from the start, signing in with fb or twitter accounts is a first class task and should be treated as such, graphically, editorially whatever. As it stands with the darkened "I like too" et

"Why would a designer ever use "Avant Garde"?" I worked on a web project recently that used Avant Garde in the branding. I have never had so much difficulty trying to make body type hang with branding. Anyway, I came across this quote: "The

Accents in some parts of Scotland are similar to some accents in Northern Ireland and vice versa, there's a lot of mixing. But a Glaswegian accent (Book Group) is nothing like a Dublin accent (Contrast).

I worked in a McDonald's (UK) for 3 months during first year at university. It was the toughest job I ever had or have had since. (Also, my experience of McDonald's is that it is the cleanest, most hygienic restaurant I have ever worked in

I'm not entirely sure I understand your point. All of these examples were likely designed in PhotoShop (or Gimp) and then realised as PNGs, GIFs or in this case CSS. Beyond that adding a button is pretty simple regardless how you do it; how

FWIW If you're using JavaScript in PhotoShop the following produces an error because there's no semicolon after the second statement: for(i=10;i--) { /* do stuff */ } So maybe that's an example of a JS implementation where it differs
