Light graffiti (AKA ‘light painting’) is a special photographic technique in which exposures (usually made at night) are created using a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. Light graffiti is a well known technique in photography but is highly specialised, difficult and normally left to expert photographers. Performance artists can sometimes be seen creating light graffiti (which can be captured with a photo or video), but either way it makes for great viewing.

Below are 25 examples of light graffiti so sit back, dim your lights and let’s check them out!

WHAT IS WEBPOP?

Webpop is the Cloud CMS for Designers and their Clients with integrated SEO and Analytics Tools that allows full control over the design and a very easy and awesome dashboard for the owner of the website to keep up to date the content. Webpop is absolutely scalable with no creative limitations and no hosting hassles.

WHAT IS UNIQUE OF WEBPOP?

Currently, Webpop is the state of the art of the Content Management Systems. Webpophas resolved a very old and complex problem in the field of the Web Design and the Content Management Systems: how to offer a platform to create truly powerful dynamic websites in a very easy way for designers, not for developers, and without using templates and preserving at a very top level the “design”.

It is not a coincidence that the claim of Webpop is: don’t betray your design

Why is it necessary that you, as a designer, has to hire a programmer or to know a lot about hard programming, to build a complete CMS, wasting a lot of money and time, each time that you need a dynamic powerful Website?

Why if you don’t want to hire a hard programmer and waste a lot of Money and time, you have to use a “templates system” and you have to betray your design most of the times?

This problem has been resolved till now in a very inappropriate way because the resolution of the problem is quite complex. That’s the reason because most of the systems works with templates. Templates are a very bad way to keep the quality of your design but a very easy way to create a simple website without coding. Webpop keeps the simplicity for Designers, allows to create dynamic websites without coding and preserves a way to make the design exactly as you did in your graphic design tool (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign…).

When it comes to web design inspiration you don’t need to look very far. CSS galleries and digital web design magazines are frequently writing about the topic and sharing ideas. However one niche not often covered is geared towards food and restaurants.

Graphic designers have a tough time finding examples of practical layouts for food-themed web pages. This isn’t to say there are a lack of good pieces out there, but rather most galleries are looking and portfolios and company websites. The concept of a recipe website is not so uncommon, yet professional illustrators and web designers are not so easy to locate.

In this brief collection I’ve outlined some great examples of food and recipe website designs. If you’re working on a project for your design agency, freelance gig, or just for yourself I’m sure this collection will give you a creative boost. Chefs from around the world can rejoice with a refreshing breath of new age digital artwork!

“2011 may be the year of SEO redesign”. Well, whether the statement is generic or specific will depend on how you digest it. If you accept the statement, it means you are well-prepared with what is unforeseen. If you don’t, it signifies that you are reluctant to believe in change.

How to produce traffic attracting content

The existence and the progress of a blog depends in a great proportion on the traffic received; few visitors mean poor quality posts, a good amount of readers is equivalent with higher standards. A lot of blogs and bloggers state that the quality of the posts is decisive – true affirmation, but it isn’t the only factor. Definitely, there is no online presence to have a good traffic unless a SEO campaign is launched while getting to the final point with positive results. Other important players in the success of a blog are the spreading through social networks, the age of the respective blog, the topics presented, and the expertise of the authors and so on.

Writing quality posts is pretty easy matter to say, the difficulties come when it is to put in practice. Each blogger has his own little secrets to write valuable posts but these don’t work always and aren’t a 100% sure, the magic recipe of writing only the best articles wasn’t discovered yet. Here is only a list of tips, inspired from my experience and from other bloggers-it could or not work for you but anyway, it is good to read it carefully to see if these could be used by you. I am very happy if someone believes another tip should be added here or, generally, every opinion is welcomed.

1. The process of becoming an elitist blogger is enduring

Web Design Trends Now in 2011

Web design trends are dictated by the changing needs and preferences of web design customers. The dynamics involved here are highly complex because web design needs are diverse as customers from all possible niches known to us influence the web design trends.

What has to be noticed here is that web design customers are influenced by the changing preferences of the internet users. Previously, when websites were still new a lot of emphasize was given to how beautiful a website looked, Flash elements and dynamism of the websites. The focus was more on the graphic appeal of the websites.

Internet users preferred websites that were beautiful and aesthetically appealing. Today web design trends are different; it is not enough that websites are just aesthetically appealing but they should also be functionally efficient.

Number of people that use the internet has increased tremendously and today consumers are very impatient. Consumers want to find the information they need within seconds after they land any given website. The overall user trend indicates that the average time spent by the internet users in each website has reduced drastically and it is continuing to reduce day by day. If businesses want to impress their customers they need to accomplish that within the given short time. So website design has to respond to this challenge in helping website owners impress their customers and sell the products and services within a short time.
