“Web Blog offering the best content pertaining to Web Design , Designers and all things Web related .”

“Dezign Diva is borne out of my passion for Art , Web Design & Development . This site is for You , who also appreciate & share an affinity towards all things Art related. Whether you are a Web Designer Font expert/creator, Developer or Artist , don’t ever consider yourself to be great at what you do – because then, the “Hunger” to become better will forever disappear !

My take on Dezign Diva:

Straightaway I’m blown away by the new look over at Dezign Diva, previously a more purple affair the website now is more darker and knowing Mia well this site really brings out her personality. The site is brilliantly functional and I am a big fan of the footer which provides a plethora of information.

Find Lauren Thompson on twitter!

“I’m Lauren, self-proclaimed “dweeb,” and the coolest person I know.”

How Nymfont aka Lauren Thompson describes her site:

“What began as doodling Fraktur during class, as an adult became focused creation of typographic art for print and for screen, including this digital type experiment I call “Nymphont.”

I do freelance web and graphic design along with type design. The icons below link to social networks and bookmarking sites that I am involved with. You’ll find me most on twitter, Stumbleupon, DeviantART, and Digg. From the fabulous Las Vegas, Lauren “Nymphont.”

My Take on Nymphont:

This is a site I first came upon back in the summer and found myself marveling at for hours, the typography and fonts are amazing and it has undertaken at least one revamp since i first found it. Lauren is a marvelous and gracious designer, I am lucky enough to have featured a great interview with her. Her blog is amazingly neat and tidy, the grid layout is superb and I am so very jealous of the footer and sidebar design. Do also check out her fonts and blogger templates, simply to die for! Her articles are wide ranging and feature work from all over the net, be sure to have this site bookmarked, and subscribe to the RSS feed.

Find Matt Ward on twitter!

“Echo Enduring Media is the online presence of me, Matt Ward.“

How Echo Enduring Media aka Matt Ward describes his site:

“This site is my online home. It is one part portfolio, one part resource base, one part blog, and altogether one giant virtual playground, where I can play, experiment, design and re-design in a continuing effort to better myself and the site in general.”

My Take on Echo Enduring:

The best blog to come to me directly, I came across the site by the man himself. He emailed me a few links to his latest articles over the period of a week or so and I began to take note of their quality and variance. He writes such brilliant and enthralling tutorials and articles his blog is a definite must for your RSS feed.

Find Roberto Blake on twitter!

“For nearly my entire life I have pursued art in some form or fashion“

How Roberto Blake describes his site:

“My greatest strengths are that of a Graphics and Web Designer, as I have the most experience at those types of projects, and a vast knowledge of the principles, standards, and trends associated with them. I have been developing websites from an early age, and have followed the evolution of website design for the past decade.”

My Take on Roberto Blake:

This blog showcases great work and allows Roberto Blake to show off his latest releases and works. Both the articles and his work are of the highest quality, and I can only hope that one day I will possess skills that are 10% of what his are. His work in digital art is amazing so he is also a designer of the future I could see going extremely far in the industry.
