If you don’t have a portfolio site yet or are looking to create an easy to update, fast loading and slick looking portfolio than you should be using WordPress. Traditionally WordPress is a blogging content management system, but recently it has been used to be the back end for many cool types of sites such as portfolio sites for photographers and designers.

I am always browsing graphic artwork galleries for exciting new artwork to inspire me, so I thought I would link to some of my favorite new graphic artwork from several design inspiration websites.

Any suggestions for future inspiration posts?

While doing my usual design gallery browsing for cool new artwork I noticed a resurgence in rounded corner business cards designs, which inspired me to create this post. I have always been a fan of rounded corner business cards because of the feeling you can achieve with them. The rounded edges can give your card a more friendly vibe and the rounded edges are perfect for any web 2.0 businesses, which tend to have bubbly, roundish, design elements.

Zach Bush is a self proclaimed perfectionist, and we can not help but see perfection in his artwork. Zach has an amazing gift for creating realistic, detailed and original illustrations that not a lot of designers can really match. In this interview Zach will give the readers some sound advice on how to improve, and progress as an artist. So let’s start the interview!
Hello, my name is Zach Bush. I just turned 23 and graduated from Radford University in December. I guess I am kind of a late bloomer when it comes to graphic design. I never was interested in the field until the summer of my junior year of college, when a guy from my church asked if I would be willing to design web templates for his company. He offered to pay me and purchase Adobe Creative Suite, but in turn I would have to teach myself through online tutorials. I can honestly say if it weren’t for him I would have kept my art on paper.
