Ben Barry: Art Direction for the f8 Conference →
cameronmoll:
This is some really outstanding design work that covers multiple mediums. Love the graph aesthetics, custom glass tables, and badges that hang at an angle, also doubling as conference guides.

Corporate Design-Manuals | Design Tagebuch →
Styleguides: Von den Einen verhasst, von Anderen zu einer Art Bibel stilisiert, die man unter Androhung von Höllenqualen tunlichst zu befolgen hat. Irgendwo dazwischen liegt wohl die Wahrheit. Das Arbeiten mit Corporate Design-Manuals gehört zum täglichen Geschäft eines Kreativen. CD-Handbücher dokumentieren die visuellen Eckpfeiler einer Unternehmensidentität. Gestaltungsrichtlinien sorgen,...

minimalmac:
Constant vigilance is the price you pay for an elegant application.
This means you have to learn to say «no». Your current customers will ask you for a feature they want. Potential customers will tell you that if you add just one specific feature, they’ll buy the app. You can’t be everything for everyone. You have to let some people be customers of your competitors.
This is a...

Firefox Windows Theme/UI Update →
by Chromatic Pixel:
“One of the more challenging, not to mention contentious, aspects of the Firefox UI update has been how to handle the MenuBar. On our first pass we were informed by how Safari and Chrome had handled this problem by paring down all menu items into two separate Page and Tools buttons. This approach has a few advantages but also some disadvantages. The new proposed approach to...

Pre-Development Website Planning →
While working at Clearleft, I learnt the importance of thorough planning before site development. Planning how you are going to write the code is just as important as how you are going to design the site. It makes you really think about blocks of content as individual, reusable components and helps make your CSS more consistent and easier for someone else to understand.

Screen Pass: How networks present the game →
dotsara:
I love and watch a lot of football.
The season is 17 weeks + the playoffs and unless I’m traveling I watch all day Sunday, Monday night, and the odd Thursday or Saturday night game. As a result, I spend a lot of time with the graphics from each of the 5 networks currently broadcasting NFL games (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network).
None of them is perfect, but a couple are better...
