I have thought about this for some time, being a first time designer (and soon to be first time publisher), I thought it would be good to have a place to share not just my own thoughts but those of others who devote their time and resources to posting helpful and informative information online for the benefit of all.
So if you are creator or just curious check in and see what the man behind the curtain is doing :)
Enjoy!
