Definition of 'World'

The World of Art and Design

It is clear from the start that the very presumptuous title of this section can't do it justice. No interesting person can be summed up within any website, and I would certainly not attempt to sum up myself.

Instead, world refers to the world of art and design, especially web design, and of Sabina Nore, simply because the world of art and design is vast (as it is often the case with worlds..), with countless views and opinions on how things should be done. I'll just write about mine, and I will do so because I haven't found any other site that says everything I need to say.

There are standards that need to be adhered to, and any good designer will always strive to do so, but that is a two-sided coin. Conforming to standards can be helpful, but it can also lead the designer back to do 'what works' - once again. True creativity and the beauty of designing extra-ordinary things easily become a secondary issue. This site will provide information on what can be done, what shouldn't be done, what needs to be considered and why. It may be helpful to imminent designers, prospective clients and others, including myself.

As for myself and what I do, I am a freelance designer and have been working as a web designer and graphic designer since 1999. I prefer to create rather than talk, and I prefer to write about art and design rather than about myself. Because of the necessity to satisfy at least the basic requirements in that regard, here is a little something about me: Sabina

PS: The specs for this website (given to me, by me) were as follows: optimistic, playful, serious (It was a dilemma, then I decided I wanted both), classy, without being pompous - and clean.

Respect copyrights I categorically disagree that 'imitation is the sincerest (form) of flattery', as said by Colton. That is what inspiration should be.
Respect the copyrights and intellectual properties of others and find that spark within yourself. Inspiration is beautiful. Imitation is not.
