Dribbble Designers who like to copy each other

Every since I’ve joined dribbble, I’ve noticed that there are certain styles on the site that have pop up again and again and again. Some are genuinely awesome ideas, others are just passing fads.

My portfolio website is finally up.

I learned a lot making this website.

  1. Do wireframe the website out in advance.
  2. Graphic design is a lot harder than you think.
  3. Change one element and you’ll want to change the entire website.
  4. If it’s not displaying properly, check for typos in code and don’t panic.
  5. Better to measure and calculate than to eyeball.
  6. Don’t let one project consume your life, make you pause exercise.
  7. Doing a little every day really does make a difference.
