The Golden Ratio is a beautifully simple piece of mathematical theory that can help make your designs feel well proportioned and pleasing on the eye.

Based on the Fibonacci Sequence (which you may remember from Dan Brown&#39;s novel The Da Vinci Code), the Golden Ratio (1:1.618) describes the relationship between two proportions. This ratio forms such a common sight in nature, and it feels pleasing to the eye when we use it in our design work.

It&#39;s also the most misunderstood. Here&#39;s a few common misconceptions and facts about JPEG images.

JPEGs lose quality every time they are opened and/or saved.

False. Simply opening or displaying a JPEG image does not harm the image in any way, but some image editors do recompress JPEGs when the &#39;Save As&#39; command is used.

One of my secret weapons in the sourcing of new colour combinations for my clients is Adobe Color.
I have been using the Adobe Color (formerly Kuler) website for years and now Adobe has an iPhone app that will helps capture and share any shade of the rainbow.

 Sending large photos and files via email can prove a challenge, as most email programs limit the amount of megabites you can send and receive at one time. Here are a two different ways to send photos through your email and start sharing your memories with clients, friends and family in a matter of minutes. Firstly, you could reduce the size of your images but you will lose quality and the photos may pixelate. The second option is to use a third party website.

 How to&nbsp;go mobile

 Mobile web design is different to its desktop brother.&nbsp; Even though you might have a website, it may not be friendly for your visitors who are using their smart phones when they&#39;re on the road, or want to fill their free time. Going mobile with your website is about function and speed, rather than pixel-perfection.<br />
 As more and more people have access to the internet on the go, it pays to tailor your site with mobile devices in mind.

 Make It Unique

 Your logo should stand out and be recognized among others in the same market place. And keep in mind that a logo doesn&#39;t necessarily need to say what a company does. &quot;The Mercedes logo isn&#39;t a car. The Virgin Atlantic logo isn&#39;t an aeroplane. The Apple logo isn&#39;t a computer,&quot; writes graphic designer David Airey&nbsp;on the popular logo design site Logo Design Love. So don&#39;t feel like your coffee shop&#39;s logo needs to show coffee beans.

 Be terrific in the traffic!

 Have some fun with your car signage and get noticed

 Some businesses spend serious amounts of money having their vehicles sign-written, and in some cases fully vinyl wrapped, but just put the business name, logo and phone number, with absolutely NO information about what they do, or any reason why you should call them!

 BORING!

 Look at your work vehicles today and ask yourself: If a passer-by didn&#39;t know anything about this business would they:

They&#39;re usually quite generic and uninspiring.

 However, there are a handful of wine companies who really go that extra mile when it comes to designing and printing labels for their bottles. Here are some of my favourites.

 Keeping inline with the new &#39;flat is cool&#39; design trend, Google finally released an update to their logo along with a cleaner home page for most users.

 It&#39;s new flattened logo&nbsp;is cleaner, which is a much needed attribute when using a serif typeface and many colors.

 The shadows and bevelling have been removed from the primary coloured lettering of the logo for a flatter appearance, while the colours are slightly more muted to give a more modern look.
