Design Springboard – site navigation page

Finding your way around Design : Talkboard is fairly logical. But we are growing at an alarming rate and have so much information on so many graphic design topics, that it is easy to get overwhelmed.

With all that information about graphic design resources, we want to make it as easy as possible for designers, students and pre-press professionals to find the information you came looking for. In fact, we also want you to find design information that you didn't even know you were looking for.

However we are gradually adding a whole body of design knowledge to a new section of online design tips & tutorials. Here is our legacy collection of links to the best discussions on various subjects from the graphic design forums. Where possible, these will be re-routed to the most appropriate new section, as and when they are added to the site. Previous topics collated include; Design business Freelance discussions Fonts and typography Adobe Photoshop discussions InDesign tips QuarkXpress discussions Design portfolios Illustrator troubleshooting tips Design jobs discussions Multimedia design forums Design forum archives 1 More selected discussion topics Other selected forum discussions can be found here.		The latest graphic design news is generally posted on the home page. But news and graphic design articles are often useful for research purposes for months and even years after the event. So we have archived our many design news stories here in the design news archives. Here is version 2 of the news archives. To help categorize news by subject, we have also listed and archived some recent graphics software news here as well as some older archived software news, design hardware news as well as the start page for our regular graphics software updates and hardware releases information pages.
