I was lucky enough to have my company pay for myself and my two colleagues, Brad and Adrian , to go to An Event Apart Chicago . Like my An Event Apart Boston Summary , I thought I would create a similar post. This is going to end up being a really long post , so I would recommend reading it in pieces or skimming. I am going to split it up into two pages so that the page does not get even mor...... [Show More]

The US economy is in the toilet and everyone who doesn’t work in the stock market or in government is either stuffing money into their mattress or simply watching the market freefall with jaw dropped. What is a designer to do?
The long-term answer comes from Thomas Friedman , whom I don’t always agree with (the world is decidedly NOT flat ; it is spikier than ever ), but...... [Show More]

Apparently half the people in the room read it. Jason used it as an example of how print can be very cool looking but the web is missing that pizzaz for individual articles.

It’s been said many times that images support the written word, add visual interest to articles and help to break down long posts by drawing the reader’s attention to pictures and the lines that precede and follow. Nowadays it’s not a problem to find images that support our posts with dozens of free and commercial stock photos online, but it takes a bit of effort in styling the...... [Show More]
a new day Post Source: www.jasonsantamaria.com Posted: Jun 18 2008 00:00:01
I like my old site design; it feels distinct even now, and I didn’t really see the point in redesigning until I needed to. It stayed in generally the same form for nearly five years. But I finally caved and redesigned. So, why the change? I’m glad you asked.
Professionally, I’ve recently become a bit disillusioned with my design work because it feels static. I design a si...... [Show More]

Would your approach to fixing a problem work better if you were thinking smaller and not bigger?
When people talk about ideation you often hear well worn phrases being bandied about – with ‘a blue skies approach’ and ‘thinking outside of the box’ coming up all to regularly. But what if your approach wasn’t to think inside the box, but to make use of the box space in a different way a...... [Show More]
process styles Post Source: feeds.feedburner.com Posted: Apr 15 2008 03:31:59
I have been reading about REST a lot recently, and hence about architectural styles . Perhaps I have found them in the opposite order. Nevertheless, it has been extremely refreshing and educative. So much so that I saw even SOA in the new light.
An architectural style is a coordinated set of architectural constraints that restricts the roles/features of architectural elements and the allow...... [Show More]

I would imagine most of you have come across sIFR at some stage. If you don’t know what it is, in brief,
“sIFR lets you use your favourite font on your websites by cleverly working with Flash, JavaScript and CSS.”
It tends to gain a lot of love/hate attention, but since the release of v3, I tend to side in the camp of those who support its careful usage. As Mike Davidson says...... [Show More]
Can there be anything more dramatic than a story of revenge?! That initial stinging feeling of being unjustly wronged, the wicked and intensely private scheming that goes on as one plans what is dutifully owed the offender, and finally the execution of said sweet reward. Nothing is more universal than the satisfaction of one getting what one so rightlydeserves.
But how does one go about const...... [Show More]

A Brief Message: No Resistance Is Futile : Now when I face a new writing project, I open a spreadsheet. I want a grid to keep track of sources and dates, or to make certain that the timeline of a story makes sense. The grid imposes brevity. Relationships between sentences are exposed. Editing becomes a more explicit act of sorting, shuffling, balancing paragraphs. In this spirit, I’m rewriti...... [Show More]

smaller is better Post Source: www.danharrelson.com Posted: Mar 14 2008 08:05:02
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the size of things. In doing so, I’ve decided that in many cases, smaller is better.

A Brief Message is a great Web site put on by one of the people I find most inspiring, Khoi Vinh. While Khoi has a partner in crime who works as an information architect at Happy Cog ( http://www .bobulate. com - Liz Danzico), you can really see Khoi’s style come through on the Web site. Simple, grid layout, with great type faces and white space usage. This acts as a perfect fit for ...... [Show More]
