    I have noticed that “Adobe Illustrator” tutorials are not commonly found even after the fact that web design is more diverted to illustrations these days. That would be a great resource for all of us.

    Regards

    Something to do with illustration! Well-designed illustration portfolios, use of illustration in webdesign… of course, being an illustrator, I’m deeply biased. :)

    Would love to see a series of innovative logos and the process/thinking behind them.

  4. VooDoo Pinstripeing

    I would like to win those cards!!!! maybe you should make a section on the free stuff you can find on the web(brushes, fonts, etc).

  5. Aetoric Design

    I’d like an article that’s a super simple introduction to web coding or something similar that’s really accessible to people who focus more on design. Maybe some convenient resources along the same lines, too.

    Great contests on the interwebz as of late.

  6. Allen Craig

    I love free stuff!

  7. Ben

    We are actually in the process of finding a business to print off our 1st set of business cards. Win or lose we most definitely will be using this website.

  8. liz

    I’d like to see a series on testing. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like that on other webdesign/dev blogs.

  9. Len Billingsley

    I would be very interested in seeing some “101″ level tutorials involving CSS and how to effectively incorporated it into WYSIWYG’s.

  10. Elizabeth Kaylene

    I’m actually really excited about the upcoming article with design templates and more for the hand drawn look. I’m new to this site so I haven’t gotten to look around much, but I definitely like it so far!

    45 Best “__” Are always good.
    Possibly design for mobile web apps.

  12. pen

    I’m a big fan of posts that list unusual inspiration dumps. I was inspired to help a client with her logo after reading about eye movements and the golden spiral… and it was a success!

  13. sedFEIS

    Hi! I would like to see a complete video+text tutorial from designing a WP theme to the final step, coding it. And something related to business card creation.

    I’d like to see some tutorials on scripting and using it to improve your website…

  15. Sebastian Strauss

    I would like to see and article on Design Plagiarism and its most usual forms. Thanks and nice site!

  16. Dan

    I’d like to see a tutorial on how to center an image inside a centered DIV using only CSS.

  17. Ralph

    I see you like writing posts centering around lists, eg, “45 Free ___”. Sticking to that, how about more of “Best Designed Blogs”, “Most Creative Blog Designs”, “Best Magazine Style Blog”, etc.

    Another goldmine is a great post about making a theme options page for wordpress themes. It’s a great feature, yet it’s so hard to find instructions on it.

    I would like to see more articles on the complete process of launching a wordpress blog. Most articles go from install to first post. without much in between, no security needed plugins, marketing etc.

  19. John Fredrickson

    I’d love to see an article covering the intricacies of typography on the web. Type styling with css, and dynamic font replacement would be really interesting to read about.

  20. Thomas S. Lindstrøm

    What I’d like to see is more trends, inspiration and tips for creating cool websites. Also, what Sol3 wrote, I could use some articles on typography. Colors too? Whoa, well. That’s it.

  21. Estra

    I’d like to see tutorials regarding the use of Adobe Fireworks and Dreamweaver, and the efficiencies that they can make.
    Thanks for the contest!

  22. Scott

    Great contest.

    I would like to see more tutorials.

  23. Francois

    Nice contest !

    I would like more articles on Wordpress, that would help me ameliorate my wordpress sites.

    Thanks.

  24. joyoge designers' bookmark

    Thanks for the contest!

  25. Sol3

    I strongly second having more typography articles, as typography is a huge part of graphic design in general that people often overlook. More inspiration and web design news articles would also be fun to read. For instance, if you run across a neat web site or student project, as well as increased web-design-relevant tech news.

  26. Roy Vergara

    Thanks for the contest! I’d like to see more offline types of design inspiration.

    Typography articles would be awesome, It’s difficult to come across good ones.

  28. Bill Biwer

    I would love to see some articles and tutorials on more obscure web designs. The things that everyone is not doing.

  29. Michael Smith

    Wordpress tips, tricks and articles are always great to see. Also articles on handling clients and jobs are interesting as well. Hearing other peoples stories of “what went wrong” with a client are always great advice for what not to do with your own clients.

  30. Rommel Miraflores

    I’d like to see some articles, or a set of articles that go through the process of setting up a web design business, how to get clients, what to charge for and how to decide how much to charge.

  31. scot anderson

    A collection of CMS system, and which ones have the best wellspring of templates to pick from?

    Great giveaway, by the way.

  35. Joao Oliveira

    Web design and SEO articles would be very good. :)

  36. Marko Novak

    I would really like to read an article about future trends in web design. I love those articles, specially if they’re written by an expert.

  37. Best Design Options

    How about a topic on how to rank in the top 10 search engine results, esp. google and yahoo, without spending a dime!

    I would like to read about some of the challenges facing the next generation of web developers and how much of 3-d rendering / animation will play it’s part in the future of the internet. :)

  41. Stephanie Malone

    This is a great giveaway and a really brilliant idea for soliciting contest entries. I would love to see articles focused on self-promotion: how to promote your website, get clients, build a network, use social media to build a business and anything related to growing a design business. Thanks!

    Stephanie Malones last blog post : Nice Girls Fake It

  42. Filip Wroblewski

    Maybe some guides for people that want to become freelancers or maybe start their own design business.

  43. Tom

    My favorites are the wordpress articles, so I’d like to read more about plugins, designs, skins. Maybe some tutorials about the customizing, css, etc – for the non-pros. Photoshop tutorials also welcome, I can’t have enough of that, too.

  44. Riley Kaminer

    Maybe give some more visuals–like videos–of what you’re talking about.

  45. Macky Franklin

    I would love a good “Intro to Adobe Illustrator” article. It’s something that seems to be lacking at large on the internet. Basically something that would cover the basics and give me something to work from…

    Macky Franklins last blog post : Two Whole Years

  46. Matt Rothwell

    How about a piece on network sites and the building of them – looking at the pros and con of white label sites maybe?

  47. Federica Cau

    I would like to read a good article about Web and Logo design trends of 2009.

  48. Trond

    Wow, nice price!

    Some good articles / tutorials about webdesign would be much appreciated, but don’t forget to post collections of themes, tutorials, resources etc.
