  Fords leaps into the Useless Eco Car field Design, brain monkey, opinion, review | (5)

  Well... it is a start. At least American car companies are starting to take the idea of interactive displays more seriously. Nice to see focus, pun intended, shift from all interactivity through the Navigation system, to more "interactive" components throughout the rest of the car. Interesting to see if GM will counter with a new digital display.

  Happy Birthday PhIxDA Design, brain monkey, proposal, suggestion | (2)

  So I was thinking about Lee's post from about a month ago "almost there" where he suggests we have a competition of some kind in honor of PhIxDA's first post. I wasn't sure what to do,  then I remembered Chris's comment where he pleeds: Do anything! Design something, code something, post something, promote something. Do something! Anything! So I did something, I dug through old files until I found a PhIxDA logo I started a year ago. I made some adjustments uploaded it. I'm not saying we have to use it, I'm just "doing something" in honor of PhIxDA turning turning one. ...

  Dictionary.com gets a face lift Design, brain monkey, impressions | (3)

  Looks like the dictionary.com group has given the website an updated UI. I'm glad since I have been using this web service as long as I can remember. I am assuming this is the start of a new UI for the ask.com group as well since they own dictionary.com. Might be an interesting one to follow. The new UI is very web 2.0 in its style which is good. My only complaint is the new results layout. i had become so used to the last layout that this one gets to me a little. But I'm sure they did their homework ...

  a periodic table of visualization methods Design | (2)

  I love stuff like this. Its visual  but it is interactive. if you print it you only get a fraction of the content. its good old fashioned fun - it has nothing to do with iphones or chome.

  Web Form Design Design, best practices, impressions, review | (1)

  I was looking into best form practices and I stumbled upon this PDF slide show which has a lot of information and examples of existing web-forms. It goes on to describe styling issues from content grouping to placement of labels and excessive visual noise. Why one thing might be better than another given the circumstances and application of the form. Also, it’s mostly pictures of forms with some bulleted slides here and there. I don’t know why he is an authority or what his credentials are, but some of his opinions make sense to me. Luke Wroblewski will be giving the ...

  A Designers Dream Design, blog, outside | (0)

  So it has been discussed many times through-out many groups in many parts of the world. Why reinvent the wheel? This seems to be holding true more and more in the world of interactive development and design. I really enjoy seeing what occurs when you take the coding development out of things and let someone focus on the design side of a project. Creative expressionism is hitting a new mark in my opinion. Lines are blurring and pixels are smashing together violently, and I like it. I always Like to read articles written by other people such as Smashing Magazine. The ...
