Design is the buzzword across divergent industries. It is the most significant feature of any utility product, technology, clothing, cosmetics or any other accessories. It does not matter how much investment you have made in your advertising and promotional activities if your product is not efficiently and effectively designed to grab the attention of the end user. Constant innovation and transformation in design has become all the more important in view of the changing tastes and preferences of consumers.

There are endless opportunities in the design career for students as scores of sectors are in great need for extremely skillful, innovative and motivated professionals. Manufacturing, automobiles, engineering, IT, fashion, advertisement, entertainment, interior decoration, FMCG and architecture are among a plethora of sectors where designers are most sought-after professionals. So, a career in design promises enormous scopes and prospects for talented and capable individuals with pioneering ideas.

It’s a new year, a new decade, and if you’re still staring at your same old, stale website, you may want to add a new resolution; update your website. Before looking for new web design in the Philadelphia area, you may want to review trends in web design, and to consider some predictions about what will last so that you can invest without spending a fortune over and over again.

Of course web design is somewhat like fashion, trendy and beautiful in the eyes of the designer. However there are a few classic design trends that I believe will continue throughout 2010 and beyond.

Content Management Systems – these types of websites can actually save you money on maintenance. Open source CMS systems like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal have matured into wonderful website template architectures with purely customizable themes. You no longer have to make a trade off between boxy, ridged design versus the ability to edit and create your own pages if you don’t know a program language. These architectures also make use of CSS (cascading style sheets) and very search engine friendly structures, which is an added bonus. Many developers prefer using these CMS systems because it makes programming quicker and easier.

Social Applications – I don’t think the social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are going to go away, so websites will have to begin interacting more with them, and include more social aspects like events, comments, ratings, forums, and interactivity. This means that developers will be using more 3rd party libraries which use AJAX like mootools, jquery and prototype for interactive buttons, and frameworks like zend, cakephp, and symfony to handle the complex interactivity between applications.  Read more...

When it companies to jewelry, many companies offer a wide variety of of choices. There is no doubt that whatever you are looking for it is out there.

And just when you thought the options were limiteless, companies combine to create an even more wide variety to choose from. Takes for instance, pearl necklace manufacturer Mikimoto and designer Yohji Yamamoto. Betsy Kroll of Time Magazine reports “the two will produce a collection of jewelry for retail. This is the first such partnership for Mikimoto in its 114 year history. The new collection will be called Stormy Weather and include the three subcategories Moon, Drops, and Le Cri.”

So what is in a design? Apparently quite a bit if you hit designing on the head like jeweler Palona Picasso. Picasso was recently hired by Tiffany & Co. to design a setting for an exhibition of theirs.

But if you are like most of us, you are designing jewelry for Tiffany or merging with major suppliers, you simply want to wear something that is eleggant to look at, pleasing to the eye and enhances your wardrobe. Linda Cahan, of Gifts & Decorative Accessories, says, “as a storeowner , it is hard to display different items that can have the overall look and feel of the store, yet at the same time have enough of a variety to offer the general public.”

The fashion world has long been filled with glitz and glamour. The ramp for models is always long, dramatic, and well-lighted. The walk is certainly a walk for fame, fortunately for aspirants but sometimes leading to a walk for shame. Who is behind all these promises and/or even breakdowns? No less than the fashion designers.

What, exactly, does a fashion designer do?

Basically, with streaks of talent, creativity, and sensitivity, fashion designers, as if influenced by Rumpelstiltskin, craft accessory and clothing sketches. They usually concentrate in one nature of accessory or garment such as women’s or men’s apparels, swimwear, lingerie, children’s garments, handbags, and even shoes. They, sometimes, lead the groundwork of the creation and promotion of their creations.

Famous fashion designers prefer to be self-employed and they cater for the request of their clients. Some cater to high-fashion department stores or to specialty stores. They establish fashion statements by setting the colors, silhouette, and type of materials that are worn each season.

There are also some designers who are employed by manufacturers of clothes. These designers just adapt fashion statements set by other designers for the market. However, there are small manufacturers who just purchase or copy designs.

Both designers sketch unique garments and follow certain trends in fashion. Likewise, both need assistants who should get used to the fast-paced schedule of the fashion business.

In detail, these designers execute the following tasks:  Read more...
