Studio Rhoad Blog

Ive often said that being a good designer is not completely about being creative, technical, or a genius. Its requires the combination of being creative AND knowing your sources. The graphic design field is incredibly flooded and designers are constantly releasing free and/or cheap solutions for designers. This includes website templates, type faces, video tutorials, build files, etc. Ive learned by utilizing these resources along with my creativity that I can not only complete projects faster but at a better quality as well. However, I noticed a void in the resource realm. I found myself visiting and searching dozens and dozens of websites looking for tutorials, resources, and news to keep me updated with happenings in the design field. And since Im on this blogging kick lately, I realized that I could take advantage of the situation. Thus, I created a website, www.iheartresources.com to fill that void. I Heart Resources is a single website that centralizes resources for not only designers but photographers as well. Further more, it has become my own personal resource database The site has only been up a for a couple of weeks now and frankly I haven’t kept it updated; that will come in time. My goal over the next few weeks is to build the site from the ground up while focusing on the graphics and layout. To be honest, a great deal of custom coding will have to go into the site, but Im sure it’ll be worth it. Stay tuned….
