This week we have a collection of design articles that will help you be a better designer. We feature some articles about color theory, how to be a successful designer, a chrome text tutorial, as well as growing a community. We also have some inspiration to keep you motivated, such as blogs with unique articles, musical logos, and some text-based websites.

If you have something that you have created, be it a design piece or article that you would like me to take a look at, let me know (email me at info@denisdesigns.com) and it could make into one of the roundups.

Enjoy!
