Did we tell you we also do graphic design?
Because we do! Hub Internet Media is now more actively pushing our range of graphic and stationary design products, and there is nothing we cannot do. Be it a redesign to bring a business’s branding up to date or stationary designed to match a business’s website, we can provide anything you want or need. There’s [...]
Say hello to the hub bot!
We have recently undergone a mascot change! You may notice a new little guy around the site, try not to scare him, he’s kinda shy. Hub bot replaces our older generic monster mascot. We hope this re branding will help Hub Internet Media stand out even more. If you just can’t get enough of the little guy then why [...]
A sense of community
Web design is big business. There are a lot of companies offering similar services, and at times there can be a real struggle to stand out from the crowd and offer something different. You might know that you do the work for less, or offer better designs or features, but the key is persuading prospective [...]

As promised in the previous post on typography resources this is the follow up post which will contain links to fantastic online typography tools to aid in graphic and web design. This post will follow the same format, link then brief explanation. Join me after the jump.
Typography Resources

Content Management Systems are the future
We absolutely love CMS platforms. Our favourite is, of course, WordPress. It’s brilliantly supported, there are thousands of people making plugins and keeping them up to date, and WordPress itself is constantly being improved. It’s rare that you log in and don’t find some sort of update waiting for you, whether it’s just a news [...]
The art of typefaces
To most people, text is text. To me text is an integral part of the overall design. Look at it this way, text is the medium in which most website content is delivered. It needs to look nice, fit in with the websites design and most of all it needs to be readable! With typefaces [...]
Don’t go changing on me
When you spend all day creating websites and designs, it’s very easy to get caught up in the moment. You find yourself looking at your own site and thinking “You know, I could easily make that better…”. Of course, that’s not a problem. Improving your website isn’t something to steer clear of, it’s something to [...]
