Hello: thinking of getting into web design...
At the heart of design and engineering is critical thinking. The ability to separate what is worthwhile from what isn't is the hallmark of the best in many fields, from film directors to project managers, programmers to designers. This skill can be learned but, because of its independence from the world of technology, it's often forgotten in our industry. It's clear, however, that most failures in engineering, design, or usability are caused by poor decisions at higher levels. Developers and designers should all have some awareness of what good critical thinking looks like and the process used to generate it. Critical thinking surfaces in three places in a Web or software development effort: planning, idea generation, and project management. This issue focuses on planning, but I'll cover the others in future issues, provided there's interest.

Meaning of colors in web design
Web design which achieves successful marketing results is sensitive to the cultural, instinctual and iconic meanings of colour in relation to the product being promoted and considers the cultural backgrounds and gender of the targeted clientele. Avoiding the extremes of sheer garishness and boredom, effective design displays symphonic colour arrangements of shades, tints, tones and complementarities to tantalise and maintain interest. Adding textures too can alter colours - a roughly textured surface makes a colour seem darker, while a smooth surface lightens the same colour.

How to recover website from penguin updates
If you received the email above (note you must be using Google Webmaster) check out the google webmaster guidelines, double check and see if you have done anything untoward in Google's eyes. But it is very loosely worded! Make the necessary changes and submit a frank and detailed report to Google telling them what you or your SEO did, in order to receive a reconsideration request. If you don't they will ignore your request.This apparently takes several weeks!

What is the Google flat logo color code for print?
Flat design is a style that lacks the “tricks” designers often use in order to create a realistic or three-dimensional effect. The style is characterized by an overall minimalistic look, bright but muted colors, bold — often retro — typography and simple user interface elements such as buttons or icons.
