Hello to the designers, graphic lovers and the Photoshop obsessed that frequent . My name is Nathan Brown, and I am the brand new blog editor.

I've got some exciting stuff planned for the blog so be sure to stop by frequently and grab a bite of what's cookin'.I'd like to start off with a series of posts that I'm calling "The Blank Slate"... This is a term that I often use with clients who are asking for a design but don't have a clear vision of what they are asking for. So that's exactly what I would like to do with this series of posts. I'll propose an open topic for discussion, and then you (the reader) are invited to chime in on your thoughts and experiences.So let's get started.
