A collection of Art Nouveau doors from around the world
If you the Vintage News, then by now you have surely noticed their mild obsession with “Art Nouveau”, the gorgeous turn of the century style that makes everything look lavish, elegant and decadent. So, go visit their virtual museum of doors —

Understanding the Power of Visual Advertising
Millennials and members of Generation Z are very finicky when it comes to web content. Within seconds, they will abandon your site if you have no strategy whatsoever on capturing their attention.
As a marketer, incorporating visual content is a great technique that can increase the audience’s willingness to read content. Focusing on compelling visuals is also a great solution to “banner blindness” — the online audience’s tendency to ignore ads subconsciously. Tech Guru Daily
The Future of Design (and how to prepare for it)
In trying to figure out what the future of design will look like, we’re at a bit of a loss.
Technology is changing at a rapid pace. In five years, mobile platforms have gone from being an emerging part of a company’s strategy to the focal point of its future. So who’s to say when virtual reality and automation become more prominent? Quickly-evolving tools like these and a shifting playing field make it almost impossible to predict the future, because the gadget that will drive our lives in 10 years probably hasn’t even been invented yet. And then there is the matter of divergent career paths. The age-old standard of working your way up the ladder at a single company for the duration of your life has been disrupted by career professionals blending skills that were once thought to be mutually exclusive — like design and computer programming — to make entirely new hybrid careers in anticipation of the market needs of tomorrow.

Using White Space: How Emptiness Can Give So Much to Design
I laughed when I saw this item from SitePoint — evidently all the writings of Alex White, (ten years ago) myself and a thousand other design teachers has soaked into Saad Al-Sabbagh’s brain!
He gives some vague advice, but at least shows the Volkswagon ads which are probably the most famous, and successful, examples of using white (or negative) space. SitePoint
