So, first off let me apolagize for the delay in getting this blog out, I’ve had a very hectic schedule, and I feel that it will never slow down. Anyway, so I was looking at Demara’s blog, and I looked at the http://justcreativedesign.com/ site, which is very cool, look at it if you haven’t already, and I found some very cool designers sites listed in there.
First we have Elliot Jay Stocks, who does a range of things, from website design, to illustrations, to CD packaging, posters, logos, and more. His site link http://elliotjaystocks.com/portfolio/, this is definitely a well made site to look at, very visually interesting, and has some good content in it too.
The second person I found is Jina Bolton, who I think is just awesome, she has a large range os stuff she does also, as she does such works as drawings, digital art, sculptures, all kinds of stuff that is worth a look. Even if you don’t care to look at her works, just the way she made her site is very fun I thought, not a real corporate look, just carefree, I love it. Oh, and she does love her sushi and robots. right, her website link: http://www.sushiandrobots.com/. Now go look at it after you see my last designer.
And for the third designer I found is Andy Clarke, not from the US even, but he’s based out of North Wales. His site, http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/, is a pretty cool site also, with a pretty cool illustration on the front page. He is not a lone freelance designer, but his site is for the company he made back in 1998, and they have some good information in it, various blogs about various things, and they even have contests in it, where right now you could try to win a DVD and book combo on CSS, which would be very helpful for this class.
So, there you have it, more designers that I think rock, mainly their works, but also their sites are pretty cool also. if you want some good design idea’s, the first website mentioned is good for many things, blogs, info, just various things around the web. Also look at Demara’s stuff if you want some good people, she always seems to know who rocks out there.

Those are really cool stuff. It’s really funny to see how all the artists chosen are different from one person to another, but yet I still find it all inspiring!

Ok sushi and robots is awesome. I loved the site too. It was way crazy idea I amost felt like I was in a real life comic and there was sushi and robots and art. I also really liked the elliot one. I liked how there were a couple of different artists work displayed. I also liked the fact that they used different media as well.
