I know from personal experience that when I begin a web project it’s so easy to choose a Content Management System (CMS) that I’m already familiar with. Even more so, it’s easy for me to reach for the popular choice that’s already well established. Recently, I’ve had a chance to give SilverStripe a test drive.

I’m always perplexed at how fast time slips by. This is already the fourth installment of the MyInkBlog Flickr Group Showcase. The artwork in this showcase is more inspiring than ever. If you would like to be a part of the next one, please consider joining the group. Enjoy!

The issue of how to handle a web maintenance contract has always puzzled me. I’m constantly rethinking how I should do things. Throughout my many efforts, I’ve tried to set up hourly and per project contracts. So which is better?

This is my biggest MyInkTrail compilation thus far. I found so many helpful posts this month, I actually could have added even more. I hope you find this list as useful as I did. Take a look.

I’ve decided to combine the last two genres into one mix/miscellaneous category. In this post you will find fantastic examples of fliers and posters. Be sure to check out how color and type can effect mood. A lot of these have really cool background design elements. Below is the inspiration, I hope you enjoy.

Another awesome grouping of flyer inspiration for your viewing pleasure. This genre provided a cool mix of colors, retro and urban vibe. I hope you enjoy the compilation that follows!

The techno/house genre proved to be quite rewarding. The awesome examples and inspiration are almost limitless. Check out the awesome roundup that follows, and be inspired for your next project.

I’m honored to have gotten interviewed by Grant from over at Colorburned this week. His questions cover the gamut from blogging to my workspace. While your over there, make sure to check out Grant’s blog. It continues to grow and impress, as he churns out cool vectors, interviews and tutorials.

The reggae genre provides some awesome inspiration. The fliers we found are vibrant and full of life. I love the mix of urban and grunge. Check it out; be inspired!

Elegant Themes provides an interesting alternative to most premium theme sites. For the very reasonable cost of $19.95 per year you get access to all of their premium themes as well as the new ones they create in the future.

This is part 1 of a 6 part collaborative effort with Christopher Tarampi of Esthetic Core. We will be showcasing inspirational fliers and posters in different genres. In this first part we will showcase the rock genre.
