Fubra announces SixCrayons

This blog post what written on Monday 14th September 2009 by who has been working for Fubra. Our staff are encouraged to blog on this site, but the views expressed are individual and do not necessarily represent those of Fubra.

Over the last few weeks I have been working on a new front end web design site called SixCrayons. SixCrayons consists of six individual blogs bringing together Design, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, Illustration, and Apps/Widgets.

I wanted to create a site that designers around the world would find interesting and want to contribute to. So far we have had about six guest articles on the site, with many more currently in progress.

The design was inspired from the idea that all designers start out as children using crayons for their first illustrations and progress from there. I wanted the website to appear fun and recognisable, so with each crayon or category I chose to use a separate colour to differentiate every one.

I arranged an interview with one of Australia’s top Illustrators Patrick Brown which went really well, check it out to see some some of his work. Guest Blogger Paul Seys interviewed Rob Farrow from chi.mp. While web developer Steve Whiteley wrote a great JavaScript article. If you are a web designer/developer and would like to write for SixCrayons please submit your details and we will contact you straight back.

I hope you enjoy the site and if you know any web designers or developers please get them to contact us at SixCrayons to get them involved.
