Welcome to the Movement


Design Democracy is not your typical social network.

It's a community of real people doing real design. We're here for the everyday designers — the ones just breaking into the industry, the ones with 20-some years under their belt, the ones working long hours at an agency, the ones who've been singing the freelancer's tune for quite a while…they're the ones who love learning, who love to inspire and be inspired and enjoy the camaraderie and friendship of other designers.

This is Design Democracy. We're bringing design to the masses.

Join the Revolution.

5 Web-based Color Generators

Color is an important element of any design, and designers should know the basics of color theory and application in order to create color palettes that captivate and correspond with the content, messaging and audience. In the "old days," designers would refer to paper-based color systems like PANTONE Color Matching Systems (PMS) and pick tear-off swatches and place them next to their mock ups and comps. Other techniques involved using a color harmony reference book such as Rockport Publishing's… Continue

You May Be Ranking Higher In The Google Search Results Than You Think

This post was originally created back in the late spring of 2008. I had taken the time to drive the 130 miles or so up to Phoenix to attend a very interesting SEO Meet-up group. The topic of the day was "What are some of your favorite internet marketing resources."

During the panel discussion someone mentioned that Google results may very dramatically. I thought she was referencing landing at different data centers. This will cause daily fluctuations in the SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages.)… Continue
