After studying ND Multimedia for 2 years I went to the University of Lincoln and studied Interactive Design for 3 years. After completing my Degree I then worked for award winning design agency Dupree Creative for 2 years. I now work for Jigowatt as Web Designer.
In my spare time I like to keep up to date with design work online through blogs and social networks, and take on self initiated projects.</description><title>David Darnes</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @daviddarnes)</generator><link>http://blog.daviddarnes.com/</link><item><title>"Complementary colors… they just don’t go well together."</title><description>“Complementary colors… they just don’t go well together.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://clientsfromhell.net/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank"&gt;clientsfromhell&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://blog.daviddarnes.com/post/18200000734</link><guid>http://blog.daviddarnes.com/post/18200000734</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:32:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>"Please let me know if I need to make any changes ASAP.

&lt;p&gt;There are some pretty complex testing tools for responsive designs out there. I even see people constantly resizing their browser window using on-screen rulers. The easiest approach to me is just a simple page with a bunch of iframes, like &lt;a href="http://mattkersley.com/responsive/" target="_blank"&gt;Matt Kersley’s test page&lt;/a&gt;.
