JQuery, CSS & Kuler

In the world of graphic design, you really have to keep track of the current trends. Technology changes and evolves every day, especially web-based technology. The best way to keep track of what is going on is to steadily build up your bookmark library to include as many design-centric blogs and websites as you can.

Here are a few of the many, many websites the design team at Mudbug Media go to every day. Pretty much every designer contributed to these links, which are great resources for anyone involved with graphic design.

Flash Implications

With the launch of the iPad, Steve Jobs fired a shot at Adobe’s widely used Flash platform, calling the company “lazy” for not committing to stronger Flash updates as the 14 year old system ages.

Over the weekend, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch finally responded, committing to improve performance, while Flash engineer Tinic Uro blogged about the improved performance of an upcoming version of Flash that addresses some of the myriad problems and drawbacks that inspired the “lazy” comment.

I think Jobs’s persistent trashing of Flash and refusal to allow it anywhere near Apple mobile products has finally hit home, but I don’t think there’s much Adobe can do about it.
