I am not a designer. There that's out of the way. What I am is a one person shop working on my own project when I'm not working for the MAN. I hope that some day I will be successful enough to hire a great web designer at $10000/hr but until then It would be nice if the author would help to improve the general knowledge of design instead of presenting it as a black art only bestowed upon the eleits.
