Soak up some insight and beef up your design bones with Five Looks, One Layout. This tutorial really opened my eyes to how versatile a single layout can be with small tweaks and changes to simple design elements.  I wont go into tons of detail because you should read it for yourself.  Check out the plethora of examples that go with it – some great inspirations in there.

:) Enjoy!

Oh man ~ today my buddy Kurt sent me a great link that I have to share with you! He found it on Viget Lab’s Blog – The Mysterious “Save For Web” Color Shift by Doug Avery.
