The Golden Rectangle, A Designer & Artist Resource
Like the many secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, so like are the secrets of design.
So I pulled up my sleeves? and waded into the Golden Rectangle to see what I could dredge up.
You will find lot's of interesting tidbits and treasure, from design articles to freelance opportunities, to venues to showcase your work, or just a good read.
