Greetings friends.
Some of you may have seen that Springleap.com has done a huge overhaul of its visual layout. ‘look and feel’.
We want you to celebrate our new ‘look and feel’ with us by taking part in a little feedback competition.
All we need to know from you is what your feelings are on the new look!
The competition rules are easy as pie:
Take a look at the old look and feel of our HOME PAGE and compare it with our new slick look, I have added an image at the top so that you can have a better idea of what has changed.
What kind of look do you feel we were aiming for?
The guy or girl who gives us the best, most informative comment will win any 2 of our groovy T-shirts.

It couldn’t be easier!
I look forward to some great feedback.
Duncs.

Greetings friends.
Here is some great news for all of you aspiring designers that are looking for the tools to take your game to the next level.
Springleap.com has now launched its very own Tutorials and Advice for designers.
This section has been a long time coming. I don’t know how many requests I have received asking for advice on designs and general hints & tips in the past….in any case it was LOTS!
Basically the Tutorials and Advice for designers section is filled with anything from write-ups on various subjects to links for online video tutorials.
It’s not only a vault of tutorials, but it also strives to give designers a serious cache of inspirational discussions, in order to get those creative juices flowing.
Thus far we have had articles on creating custom fonts, vintage effects and using transparency tricks.
The articles may not be specific for the requirements of the actual Springleap competition, but also cater to designers other interests.
We also want to empower our designers by giving them guidance in regards to their submissions which go beyond physical design. For instance I put together a blog that revolves around Submission Write-ups and how they can affect community votes. Important stuff that may go underneath the average designer’s radar.
There is something for everyone, so jump across and take a lookie at our Tutorials and Advice for designers blog for yourself.
