The Design Gnome

The only web publication run by a garden ornament. Yeah.

Hello World, We’re Giving Away a Dribbble Invite!

Hello there! My name is Max Luzuriaga, and you’re currently looking at The Design Gnome, a design blog founded by me! I know that there are already plenty of design blogs out there, so what makes us different? Well, instead of just tutorials, just articles, or just inspiration, on here we feature all three!

Right now we have two great posts for your viewing pleasure, Form vs. Structure, and How to Build a Lightsaber (with CSS). Tomorrow I’ll be putting up the first inspiration post, 50 Great Examples of Depth in Web Design. I hope you enjoy them!

In other news, to celebrate our launch, I am giving away one Dribbble invite. That’s right folks, you, yes you, could soon be a happy owner of a Dribbble account! To enter, simply follow The Design Gnome on Twitter, then comment on this post with your twitter username and a link to a portfolio piece that you think best exhibits your abilities.

Just to be clear, this is not a random drawing! I will go through all the comments and chose the person with the piece I like best. So leave a comment! Couldn’t hurt, right? The contest will end this Friday, June 18. Obviously: only one comment per person.

Max Luzuriaga

is a young web designer based in Philadelphia. Blah blah blah follow me on twitter, & check out my portfolio.

    Hi Max, it’s nice to meet you.

    Came to see what my new twitter follower was all about so that I could give you a personal welcome by visiting your website and learning more about you. The two articles on thedesigngnome, so far, look promising and look forward to seeing more of your work!

    Checked out your YouTube channel and really enjoyed your Winging It a Short Film movie and was intrigued by your greenscreen tuts. I’ve never messed around in AE and have been amazed at what it can produce. After seeing what can be done with AE, it’s now on the short list of new programs to add to the toolbox.

    My name is Zoe and you can find some of my own work here: http://bit.ly/d7q5ln. Since you are already following me on twitter I’ll point out my handle (@nobullit).

  6. Good Morning. The blogs looking nice.

    You already have me on Twitter, @Tebbott and the site linked below is one that I am currently finishing up. Almost there, just some finishing touches to add.
