The High Price of Poor Design
Posted by Mike on October 27, 2010
At Design Principles, our crew is young, smart and funny, and it leads to some priceless “overheards” during the day. As this is a family-friendly blog, some of them aren’t suitable for sharing, but one that struck me yesterday merits talking about — it’s the high price of poor design. We’re always being contacted by [Read the Rest...]

My copy of Firefox updated today, and then Flash had to be updated as well. Inspiration strikes again.

The new DP website has launched!
Posted by Mike on September 25, 2008
After seven or eight years of the same old website, we’ve finally gotten around to updating our design. It’s been a long time coming, having started in January of this year. But, like the barber’s haircut or the carpenter’s house, we’ve been so busy working hard for our clients that we’ve scarcely had the time [Read the Rest...]
