Designs By Mark - About
My name is Mark Monciardini
and I'm 27 years old. Grew up in California, I have left
and now live in a small town alone, a town that definitely
has a lot of bugs. I've had
a huge interest in all types of media since
I was young. I've assisted many teachers and taught
computer media from little school on thru high school. I have a
passion to help people learn easier and to make their life's better. I
have dabbled with graphics since I was little but have had a
bigger interest when the web started. I have also found it's
one of the things I'm most comfortable with and I enjoy
writing about.
Designs
By Mark
Started in early 1998 as small
graphics site with a little gallery, a few Photoshop tips and
some cool links. I browsed the web a lot and saw some other cool
graphic sites and got more ideas to build up my own a bit more.
The responses I got from the visitors has motivated me to keep
at it which includes making more tips, learning more about web
design, the do's and don'ts and then giving it back to the
readers to check out. During this time I've tried
to develop more skills with Photoshop, graphic design and
layouts from books and on the web.
DBM is my home and my land. It's a
one man project run by me.
The goal is to help others learn and accomplish web design
& graphic techniques with ease. It's the kind of site and
communication that I have always wanted, and wanted to receive
some time ago. DBM is about learning and inspiring
within ourselves.
It's a place to finally understand and not to be left out in the
woods. A friendly place of caring and understanding is what you
can find. Each
visitor of DBM is treated like a Human being. And If I'm not doing
my job, then write me a letter and set me straight.
This
current site is the third version of Designs By Mark, it was
released on January 15 2000.
Mr.
Bug
Who
is Mr. Bug? What does he do? Well, he sort of takes care of the
place when I'm
not around. He will also check to see if you are being good.
Sometimes Mr. Bug
goes a little wild too. If you see a bad link or something
that looks funny, well, just blame it on good old Mr. Bug. If you
feel that he has been a little knuckle head, then you let me know
and I'll give him a spankin'.

Getting
Comfy
I want this to be comfortable for you and
relaxing to stay, like you were sitting on a beach with a book on sunset or just
wandering
into some cozy fantasy or dream. This is your time to step away and rest your creative
areas, though we can't always be creative 100% of the time, we need to rest those very
special parts in us and relax.
Thanks to some very special people
