Digital Web is taking a break this week, but we’ll be back next week with a solid article topic, as well as the oft-hinted Web Directions South conference contest and more. To tide avid readers over in the meantime, here’s a bevy of “good reads” from the week thus far:
No issue this week
Regular Digital Web readers might have hazarded an educated guess about our contest topic for Web Directions South . Such that it is, Digital Web is proud to partner with Web Directions South to offer one lucky DW reader with a killer surfboard design a free conference pass ! We also have a few excellent runners-up prizes , courtesy of WDS partner Wacom.
Not a designer? Well, we have an option for you (though no guarantees you’ll like it): express the iconic Sydney Opera House in SVG , or as an architecturally themed microformat. We don’t have any real guidance on that one…actually, we’d just like to see someone try.
Check out the rules below, fire up Photoshop and get your design going. To get you started, here’s a template—classic longboard, dude !
