Frank Chimero is one of the most knowledgeable and talented designers there is. In a recent blog post, he gives insightful snippets of advice for graphic design students. His advice seems so simple, but it still remains entirely accurate. It’s definitely something that every aspiring designer should read.

It’s filled with informative and thought provoking stuff.

I recently received my iPhone 4 in the mail, and I have to say, this thing is a beauty. But aside from all of its robust features, the most impressive improvement for me would have to be the retina display. It’s unbelievably sharp. It’s so clear in fact, that looking at my older iPhone screen feels like I’m looking at pixilated image.

Even though the new retina display is pretty awesome, it has left most apps with the dilemma of needing updated graphics. I’ve noticed that the apps that don’t have new hi-res icons stick out like a sore thumb. I’m sure that within the next couple of months though, most apps would have updated images to look clear in the new screen.

Before a couple of days ago, I wasn’t aware that you could customize a web clip icon for the iPhone. I though that only an app from the app store could have that feature, and that the most you could do for any website was upload an image that automatically got cropped and had a glare added to it by the phone. I noticed Fifty of Fifty, a neat photography project by Rick Nunn I came across, had a custom icon. He was nice enough to show me how it's done. It’s really simple actually. You make your custon icon, (114 px x 114 px for the retina display), and set it with a rel of ‘apple-touch-icon-precomposed” in the header code. This way, the iPhone won't add any effects to it.

So if you have an iPhone, be sure to click the “Add to Home Screen” button to see my new icon!
