Monthly digibomb’s – March 2010

digibomb — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:55:18 +0000

There has been a lot of talk online recently about Art Directed posts (custom post pages) and a growing movement towards re-inventing how we visualize an idea. More and more design communities and bloggers are starting to create these unique custom posts in an effort to step further away from the current norm of what has become static browsing once again. So, that being said this months digibomb’s focus on designers who have gone the extra mile with their blogs.

You should also check out this new project Heart Directed by Jad Limcaco creator of design informer, it’s a showcase gallery of Art Directed posts.
