What is Literary Spring Designs?
Literary Spring Designs is focused on web and graphic design, eBooks, iPhones, iPads, and DIY tips and tutorials. I am on Tumblr at Quote Fun and Photos Light, a high-resolution stock photography blog that uses Creative Commons. A link to my Twitter account (and list of my recent Tweets) can be found on the sidebar.
What programs do you use for your designs?
I use Photoshop for most of my graphic design work. The web design has been done primarily using Photoshop, Notepad++, and Notepad. This blog is currently using a child theme of the Yoko WordPress Theme.

Common sense reminder
As stated above please note that you are responsible for any actions you take regarding the information found on this blog. I’ve never heard of someone being allergic to vinegar, but if you are then a ’50 uses for vinegar’ is not one you should follow. If a DIY project requires a hammer be careful.
So who runs this blog?
I have a Master’s degree in library and information science. My studies concentrated on information retrieval, issues relating technology and the internet, and educating people about the uses of technology for personal and professional research. I have been working with web design for over 10 years. During the past few years I have become more interested in photography.
I have a particular interest in and experience with accessibility and usability issues. Beauty in design matters, but part of beauty is the functionality of the design.
I am a supporter of the open-source community and of Creative Commons. Most of the resources on Literary Spring use Creative Commons Licenses. I am thankful for the designers and programmers whose tutorials and resources have helped me learn web and graphic design. In return I have made many resources available for others to use for their own education and projects.
I am also the proud human of a playful dog and have a knack for remembering film dialogue.
