1. How much time do you dedicate to learning design every day?
That is a tough question, I don’t directly learn design daily, I would say indirectly by reading tutorials, scouring the web for cool css tricks and tips, – I have been mostly interested in learning WordPress and jQuery recently.

 

2. What other designers do you have contact with on a regular basis?
I talk to
Andrew the most (partner on Inspiredology) – I try to keep in touch with some of the bigger players in the game
Chris Spooner, is one that I talk to, I try to keep in touch with
Jacob Cass.. it’s been a while since we spoke.

 

3. Who are the top 2-3 designers that you respect and why?
Chris Spooner – His work is great – he seems like a great down to earth guy.
David Airey – I have a lot of respect for logo designers, mostly because I try but usually fall short… but he has an amazing insight on how logo’s work and it shows through his work.
Collis Ta’eed – He just is a very smart business person, and entrepreneur.

 

4. What’s your favorite website or design you ever made and why?
Inspiredology probably, why? well it’s been my most successful project to date – it’s my own website – so a lot of time and care went into it – currently it’s running on it’s second design, and probably early 2010 – you will see the 3rd installment, hopefully something that will stay for a while.

Chad Mueller great web designer

5. Have you ever been published in a book or magazine? What books or magazines?
I don think so…. hope some day though

 

6. What’s your favorite color in hexadecimal? How often do you find yourself leaning towards it with design projects?
Probably blue’s Chad Mueller web design color#0099FF – it was the colour I branded for my freelance work when I first started, and I use here and there still – if you head over to chadmueller.com – you will see the link hover’s carry some of the colours.

 

7. What’s your most recent project we can look at?
My most recent project is skytrax.ca – sits on the WordPress platform, really fun project i have been working on, – you can also check out rpp.ca – that was a small project that I worked on a few months ago.
