OMG it’s December 24th and I’ve still not finished/started my Christmas shopping!! That has been the experience of how Christmas shopping has gone for me in years gone past!

My Ramblings
This is a blog about design, front-end development, WordPress and other random musings by Liam Jay
Like vs Hate!
A rather short entry this time, but size isn’t important is it? (*Insert dick joke here*)! Anyway…back to the title – Like and Hate. Despite seeming like total opposites, when put into context of what they’re regarding, aren’t these just two equally useless critiques? Previously, I would of said yes, but thinking about it I… Continue Reading +

There is obvious advantages to doing this, as it makes it easy for readers to check out what… Continue Reading +
Things that helped me get a design job after graduating from university!

Now I’m going to take an educated guess and assume that out of those graduates, over 90% of them… Continue Reading +

Insites was a mini tour of four cities in the UK where Keir Whitaker and Elliot Jay Stocks asked questions to established people within the web/design industry. For the Bristol leg of the tour we were lucky enough to have… Continue Reading +
