As I grow in my ability to do graphic and web design I have found that a lot of tools on the web for designers aren’t really Christian friendly so I am always glad to find good quality christian websites for resources, help forums, etc. Lately I have been using three Christian sites that are great resources and I want to gladly spread the word about.
The first (I ordered these alphabetically not by how much I use one compared to the other) website that has been a great resource is CreativeMYK. Creativemyk is a what I would say is close to a Christian version of deviantart, I never felt comfortable being on deviantart because of some of the ungodly things on that website. So, now I have CreativeMYK to be my friend. Here is my CreativeMYK page.
The second Christian website that I use on a regular basis is Godbit. I will let them sum up what Godbit is “The purpose of this site is to help the Church catch up with the rest of the world in adherence to Web Standards given by the World Wide Web Consortium, the governing body of best-practices on the Internet. The majority of Christian web design agencies are using outmoded methods of coding to create websites that the rest of the world would scoff at. Basically, they are stuck in the 1990’s.” I regularly look to the godbit forum for help with web design critiques and for any help I might need with sites.
The last but for sure not the least is The GDFC the gdfc is… I’ll let them tell you who they are and what they do “The purpose and vision of GDFC is to represent Jesus in the graphic design industry. We want to use our gifts and talents to bring glory and honor to our God. We have an awesome group of designers from with many different styles and from many different countries. We are a family of believers with one goal in mind, the Gospel of Christ.” So they put it best, a family of believers.
In the end these are all great resources, that have helped me through the process of learning about and continuing to learn about graphic/web design.
