Stu Smith: Making It Up As I Go Along
“ My life working for BinaryComponents, coding, design, and other stuff. ”
I've been a bit slack with my blog posts lately - or rather, they've mostly been about things other than FeedGhost, so they've gone on my other blog.
If you didn't know about my other blog, it's called Just Effort (tagline: design skills are something you learn, not something you’re born with). It's all about graphic design, but from my perspective, i.e. that of a programmer. It's my belief that the stereotype of "programmer art" is down to lack of effort and practice, not some lack of innate skill.
So what might you find there? Here's a few past articles:
How to get past the blank canvas and actually produce something.
Using Photoshop to produce a frosted glass effect.


Ideas and how-to guides for producing promotional business materials.
Making attractive reflective screenshots to show off your software.
