Magdalena M Photogapher
September 4, 2009
So, it’s been a while since I have made an entry, but I was on vacation!
But I am now back and want to share a treasure i have been holding on to for a while now….(drumroll)…Magdalena M, an amazingly talented freelance fashion photographer based in Toronto.
I love the colours and the detail in her images. Her work almost always make me want to jump up and dance (lol). She’s also a talented make-up artist, and set designer, when needed. She even creates her own clothing designs (background in fashion).
Anyways I don’t have to say much, I think her images say it all. Also check out her website www.dizma.com (I helped out with it, absolute pleasure!)

Wow, its been super long since I have posted something! Well here’s something worth sharing, I think. I feel we all go through this, as designer, contractors, any type of freelance really…estimating the amount of time that goes into a job you are quoting. This awesome article is brought to you by none other than Smashing magazine and you can read it here. Click it! It’s worth a read.
Btw, I cannot believe Yasmina won on The Apprentice UK!?!?! Below is a video, love these, in memory of season 5! haha

This whole business of letting ppl use old browsers, mainly IE 6 is just really distressing. Why can’t Microsoft just automatically disable the old browsers, once the new ones come in effect. I hear IE 8 is out already. Meanwhile, we have ppl using IE6, STILL! There has got to be a better way of getting people to upgrade and keeping up with the times. It would make the web designers life so much easier, not to spend hours trying to figure out how to get it to show perfectly in IE 6 (all for that random 3 or 4 visitors that will visit the site using IE 6, or better yet the owner themselves).
Recently I came across great new, on Jonathan Hedley’s site.
Starting on or about the third week of April, users still running IE6 or IE7 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 will get will get a notification through Automatic Update about IE8. This rollout will start with a narrow audience and expand over time to the entire user base. On Windows XP and Server 2003, the update will be High-Priority.
Users can decline the update, and Corporate IT groups can block it, but this is a promising move to bring users up to date, and so to increase web-development efficiency.
I also came across “Grow up already and throw IE6 away!”. Fantastic article, with show and tell pictures, by Janko Jovanovic (my inspiring title is one of his quotes).
If you are reading this and haven’t updated your browser, please do that. No good can come of using old browsers that don’t support half all the graphic savvy stuff we can do online these days. You’re missing the good stuff. Get that upgrade. Click here
