Designing for The Internets

Long ago, when I was a design student at Syracuse, I can remember being forced to work on a web design project. At the time, it was a "good idea" to include some web stuff in your portfolio, but I had no intention of pursuing a path in web design.

And here I am, designing for the web nearly everyday. It's hard for a print designer to really delve into designing for the web. There seem to be so many restrictions and rules and those darn programmers telling you what can't be done!

But I think that's changing. Websites are becoming more beautiful while maintaining functionality and usability. It's almost as if our print layouts really can be translated to the web.

This is great website for some inspiration:
