University: Is it worth it?
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
As some of you may know, I’m now in second year at university, and that was after spending some time at college prior to this. When I left school I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a career, and due to circumstances at the time I went to work full-time in an office for 3 years, although that quickly got boring. Having had an interest in computers and web design since I was at school, I decided to leave full-time employment in order to pursue a career in this field, and I can honestly say I have no regrets about this decision at all.

I admit to being a fan of this style, and have begun incorporating it into recent designs. With the emergence of CSS 3 techniques such as box-shadow and text-shadow have made it easier to empty this technique without the use of images and below are some of the best examples at the moment.
