Featured Site Design #2

The designer of Creative Spaces has a fantastic sense of quirky fun, organization and cleanliness, contrast and minimalism. I love the use of illustration, offering an organic space that would look as good printed as it does on a computer monitor. It's worth the moment to check it out and take a look around.

Featured Site Design: Glocal Ventures

Glocal Ventures' website has an organic, rustic tone which makes it feel authentic and hospitable. You feel comfortable on the site; the rich background image works well with the light background of the main content area. The content is organized and layout is clean, making it one of my favorite picks for well-designed sites.

Welcome to Creative Bits

Ahoy!
I am thrilled to be launching my new design blog. There are several design blogs that I follow regularly, offering insightful commentary, new ideas, tips and tutorials and random finds. Following blogs can be beneficial and can also waste a lot of time! Depending on what you're following, you can learn and use what you read in blogs in your work and creativity. I get inspired by the blogs I read and would love to share that information. With my blog, I'll be posting links to my favorite design websites, newssites and blogs as well as examples of good design, ideas and things to consider. Thanks for checking out my first post--I look forward to sharing more with you!
