Note that this thread was Reddit-bombed, particularly by Men's Rights, so don't bother engaging with some of those commenters and take some of the upvotes/downvotes with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, my response to the victim, mr-hank (wherei

Hopefully you are still reading the comments here as I'm just catching up on all of this and watching how it is continuing to unfold. Please don't apologize. As other women before me already have, I want to apologize for this incident; ho

I deleted my Twitter account, so when people do this, I can't even use it to try to promote it - no less the argument that I'm not going to promote something I haven't even used. People do this all the time on Dribbble and it's really frust

Hi Stewf, thanks! That definitely wasn't a dig at your curation/aesthetic - just a reality of the site becoming popular. Didn't even notice the filters you pointed out, so those will definitely help!

Holy wow, great work guys! This is exactly the type of tool a lot of designers are looking for to bridge the gap between design and code (or at least get their feet wet before diving into it full-on). Hopefully this will get more visual art

Some nice type here, some not-so-nice. This site does a better job showcasing some of them than their respective Foundries/gallery pages do (Signalist, Xtreem), which is always something to consider when looking at typefaces. http://fonts

Exactly. Subreddits like /r/hailcorporate exist to try to make light of these practices (and started out credible enough), but now it is overrun with conspiracy theorists who think that any and all references to a major brand in a post that

Compass' docs' code snippets have little tabs that allow you to switch between the SCSS and Sass syntaxes that I think would be great for people like you that need to see the CSS output. I wonder if anyone's made something like that (possib

Ah, yes, the infamous "trend" list that only shows one example per anti-pattern and it's some random never-before-seen website where clearly they couldn't afford a better designer. Outside of the whole part where HTML5 has nothing to do wit

Common knowledge doesn't mean that people are unsubscribing at the rate people are joining, though. I'm not saying they need to hire moderators (I believe it is ultimately up to the community to effectively enforce the rules), but if that c

I'll just say that I think it is difficult to make the case that her gender has had less to do with the sum of her ongoing experiences than any other factors based on the types of attacks it looks like she gets hurled at her (based on Twitt

And I'm not exactly sure how productive it is that your failure in reading comprehension has resulted in two posts wherein you've tried to belittle my point by emphasizing it. Relax and have a better rest of your day.

If you took it as such, sure. I'm talking about trying to recycle useless peanut gallery commentary into more productive conversation. The guy that comes into her comment thread acknowledging he was one of the called out tweets goes on to s

I preface this by saying I don't know the author and I don't recall ever having read anything by her previously before, so all of this drama about past things she's spoken about is new to me. Regardless, this is a great example of how the c

Arguing that one person was able to do it is a slap in the face to those that have tried and failed and did nothing differently. Like anyone's success, it is highly dependent on luck (and this luck is partially someone determining your wort

Calm down, guys. As stated on her site, these are purely experimental. This page has also been up for a few years at this point.

Wanting to be treated equally is hardly asking for red carpet treatment.

Ditto this. I've written about this every time one of these "Oh no, not women-centric events!" threads comes up, but when I was at RailsGirls PDX (aged 21+), the question came up as to if they preferred the girls-only aspect or if they thou

Thank you! Will be interesting to see how many Amazon-refunded players will be taking that money and putting it into this and projects like it.

This has nothing to do with the hustle; this is post-hustle - that's why these companies are even reaching out to the artists directly. The ones that know exactly who they're trying to copy are the worst offenders. > Also, original art/

I totally agree with you re: design vs. aesthetics (even went on a tangent about it some weeks ago). > And I seriously doubt good designers not getting work due to scummy photocopiers grabbing up jobs. Knowing some very well-known desig

I think that this is part of a bigger problem; a lot of people find design to be "easy" in that it's subjective - Client A doesn't like your work but Client B does. Can't even get a job in the field? No worries, people flock to 99Designs an

Designers live in a world where their work is questioned and picked apart every day. If you're sensitive, you're in the wrong field.

Those that have used both are bigger fans of Pixelapse because it doesn't automatically save a "version" every time you save the file in Photoshop. Their payment tiers are also much more consumer-friendly: https://www.pixelapse.com/pricing

Don't mind Alex, he made a fuss about the guy on the right jacking his design on the left a few months ago - http://cl.ly/image/1g3q372r1c2F/shot.jpg . Information designers would have a chuckle at that.
