“Modern Graphic Design Collection and Rare Graphic Design Books.” I think I could spend all day surfing around this site.
Hand Eye Supply makes the greatest stuff.
Gorgeous collection of menus from the New York Public Library. Saved for reference.
“Building a palette is an intuitive process, but expanding a typographic duet to three, four, or even five voices can be daunting. Here are four tips for navigating the typographic ocean, all built around H&FJ’s Highly Scientific First Principle of Combining Fonts: keep one thing consistent, and let one thing vary.” Great advice from H&FJ.
A nice complete reference of what’s out there.
Saved for when I start traveling a bit more again.
Norway just looks creepy.
Add this to my list of things I’d like to learn in ‘09. Looks like a great resource.
Very clever. I can’t decide on a favorite, but the waterfall and surfer ones are great.
Love this. Hopefully it’ll be kept up and added to.
Gorgeous collection of links and reference material from the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Looks awesome. Too bad it’s $45.00. Damn.
It’s already a fantastic resource and it looks like there are plans to add more stuff in the future. I’ve subscribed.
I’ve memorized a lot of the keyboard shortcuts for the ones I use regularly over the years, but this is a great reference for whole bunch more.
These guys got to do some amazing advanced field testing of the new camera I want, the recently announced D90. His studio is in one of my co-workers condo complexes so I’m hoping I can work in some sort of introduction.
I absolutely love this interactive graphic depicting the medal counts since the modern games inception in 1896. Big kudos for representing the different regions using color and a rough “map” via large circles. It’s great that you can quickly flip to just a straight numerical order too though.
A great set of tips here and I particularly like this bit: “Yes, designers can make mistakes and take wrong directions. And yes, you need to give them direction. But you must tell them what you need, not how to achieve that goal.”
A great little widget for those hard to remember special characters.
A collection of vintage logos from a mid-70’s edition of the book World of Logotypes.
The beginnings of the instant message chat bubble.
Seth Godin on doing remarkable things instead of worrying about your resume. Agreed.
Bam.
It’s impressive they’re letting you recycle any cell phone even if it’s not an iPhone. Well done Apple.
More great infographic porn from the New York Times but National Treasure… really?
A great resource. I really like the trend toward more “speaking” block navigation. It’s not perfect for all situations but it’s incredibly effective how it gives users even more information about what’s behind the link.
A nice collection of user interfaces on the web. I’ve had a few ideas about doing something like similar to this last year but just haven’t had the time. I’m glad someone is compiling some good interaction design reference material.
For those of you still confused about if you can caucus if you’re not registered to vote: “You don’t even have to be registered to vote to caucus! Just show up and you can register on-site.” Go. Caucus.
Great reference site for testing special characters and quickly grabbing their HTML codes.
