Time for a roundup of useful links from across this beast we call the world wide web:

Studio7Designs.com

For all you designers out there, I thought I’d mention a great agency we’ve come across recently that makes our hearts smile. As a designer, I’ve always wondered if making things pretty so people would buy them was perhaps a little shallow. I’ve always added a hefty dose of charity clients to lighten the ethical load. Studio 7 Designs serve socially minded companies around the world, which is pretty nifty. Even better, their work reflects an appreciation of the natural world which is great to see. If you are a designer and want to see individuals who are walking the talk and making it work financially, then go check them out.

Banner Blog – Where Banners Click, is an Australian blog that showcases the best in banner advertising. If you’re interested in innovative advertising then check them out.

    Nice little list of sites, I’m new to your blog and actually found it through a link on a separate blog which stated you were only 15, so noticing a subscriber base of just over 8,500 people I had to come around and read some posts to see what your all about and you’ve done some good work if you are only 15, if not still good job all around.

    Very nice for me to see that there is an alternative to design, and that there is a way to create a niche market that you actually enjoy working within! Thank you so much for the links :)

    Cheers
