Both web and print designs built around a water theme have become a popular trend in recent years, and such a theme can be found in everything from websites to business cards to designs for postcard printing . Generally speaking, the color blue is associated with depth and stability and has a calming effect, which may be why blue is a popular color for design. Many businesses incorporate some shade of blue into their brand colors, and water is a popular image for companies in many industries, not just the obvious ones. For example, some graphic designers, fashion companies, and even technology companies incorporate water into their websites. http://webdesignfan.com/

I noticed that if you look for a job board template you don’t find anywhere one, or if you happen to find one, it is outdated and looks unusable so I designed one (a few years ago actually) and the talented people at markup-service converted it to CSS & XHTML and did a wonderful job.

With close to a decade of experience in web design, I have come across plenty of mistaken beliefs about the latest design tools and technologies; but nothing beats the misconceptions surrounding the use of HTML 5. As developers, we have our own set of misguided beliefs about a certain technology, but as we begin to use that technology we are able to understand what it is all about, its usage, and its scope. Inspired by certain HTML5 requirements that I have come across through the course of time, I wanted to add my two cents to clear the air on certain aspects of HTML5. Most of the misconceptions surrounding HTML5 are because many people think it’s a replacement for Flash. At the outset, I would like to make it clear that this is not an HTML5 vs. Flash post.
