40 Creative Design Layouts: Getting Out Of The Box [PICS] (82)
on
Smashing Magazine (617) permalink
Over the last months we have seen a strong trend towards more individual web designs. These designs use realistic motifs from our regular life, such as hand-drawn elements, script fonts, pins, paper clips, organic textures and scrapbooks. That’s not a big surprise as they manage to serve the function which faceless shiny glassy 3D-buttons completely fail to deliver: convey the individuality and personality. “Personal” designs appear more familiar and more friendly. Used properly, such elements ...Shared by alexbig (7) Ali (15) Amit (14) Aneesha Bakharia (7) avianto (5) Azeem (35) Benjamin (3) Benjamin (824) Bill Keaggy (11) Brad Brooks (9) Brandon Ball (21) Brian Partridge (8) brokekid (117) Çağatay Öztürk (14) Chandoo (9) chris (305) Chris L (20) Christopher (33) Coolbox (22) Dana Lookadoo (14) dani (10) Daniel Wittberger (15) Danny Korpan (5) Digg Boss (641) dingyi (13) dobata (324) Dominic Foster (266) Dorn (9) drew shobbrook (6) Elliot (25) Emil (6) etng (25) Gerard (29) Giorgos Androulidakis (55) goodpic (15) Grant Griffiths (12) Guy (599) Janne Toivoniemi (5) Jason David Pelker (9) JJ.Ying (1) Juan (15) Kristian (35) Kyle (3) Lauren (3) lebachai (6) Leyla Bonilla (74) Live & Direct (28) LUCCHINA (423) Mancho (9) Mark (21) martinjy (4) Matt (1) MattC (2) matteo fogli (6) melmyfinger (15) Michael Yakovis (24) Mila F (28) Milkr Chan (8) mr_gadget (149) MrGuff (76) Muhammad Saleem (231) Neil (5) Nick Cobb (365) Paddy (3) Pete Barry (3) Peter v (14) Radium (5) Rami Taibah (326) Rebecca Markowitz (4) Rob (106) Robby Colvin (7) Romey (27) Selwin (14) Srandy (26) Stephanie Gulley (14) stwn (11) superdeluxe (26) Tom Davies (108) Travis (24) Wes (8) yoshy (312) Zachary (6)Contribute comment -
Mapping Memory: Web Designer as Information Cartographer (40)

A List Apart (84) permalink
The rise of the social web demands that we rethink our traditional role as builders of digital monuments, and turn our attention to the close observation of the spaces that our users are producing around us.

Built from the collective memory of our past and current students and faculty, the website is an abstraction—a map—of that memory, created to persuade prospective students to apply, current students to collaborate, and alumni to remain engaged with the school.

Screencasting: How To Start, Tools and Guidelines (124)
onBy Adam Hay Some companies have made a living creating a sort of “virtual classroom,” allowing members to learn at their own pace when they have the time using video tutorials. The advantages of the classroom setting stem from a one on one experience and the ability of the instructor to show the ideas and theories rather than simply explain them.

10 Futuristic User Interfaces (272)
onGood user interfaces are crucial for good user experience. It doesn’t matter how good a technology is — if we, designers, don’t manage to make user interface as intuitive and attractive as possible, the technology will hardly reach a breakthrough. To gain the interest in a new product or technology, users need to understand its advantages or find themselves impressed or involved. And here is where creative ideas and unusual interface approaches become important.
