Resist today is the domicile of awesome, unique gear and is currently having a sale, where you can buy awesome unique wallets from $10, kooky tees from $10 plus other cool bits ‘n’ bobs.

I actually received an owl messenger bag from my brother (bought from Resist Today) for my birthday back in early ’09 (if my memory serves me correct) and it’s still serving me well. One of these cool tees or wallets is tempting me!

Check ‘em out; worth it even just for the eye candy.

Yellow in Web Design (is beautiful)

When people ask me what my favorite colour is I always reply with yellow, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at things I make, things I use and things I buy. I want to use yellow more, especially in web design. If you’re looking to break away from using the same blue in every one of your designs as well, then get inspired! Here are some beautiful, yellow web designs that I’ve found.

Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism. Color Psychology

Thanks for looking!
