| Intermittent postings of interesting online information design
problems. These reviews are meant to point out site strategies, not to
evaluate them.
How I Learned to Love Superlatives
Case studies, ivy, and 43 designers: a combination that changed the way I think about myself as a designer.
Part Today, Sum Tomorrow
I've been invited to participate in the new tradition of CanUX 2006, the Canadian User Experience workshop. Not only is it about good things like user experience and interactivity, but it takes place in Banff, Canada, one of the lovliest places on the continent.
The Gentrification of the Web
Can a website be successful despite its design? Looking at examples such as craigslist, Wikipedia, and eBay, you might think that undesign is the new black. Is underwhelming or even "bad" design more appealing in some cases? Principles of urban development may offer some insights.
Loosely Joined
For the first time, I'm attending the South by Southwest Interactive
Festival, and I'm sleepless with excitement. And I've found myself
involved in a few things.
My Four Things
I've just been tagged by the lovely and talented Glenda Sims. And
although I'm not sure if my site qualifies as a blog, I will carry the
baton nonetheless. Glenda is such a good witch after all.
Search Interface Standards
In designing an interface for search, are there standards that we can
come to expect? To investigate, I took a look at several sites to
understand what some of the commonalties and differences might be. Take
a look at what I've found.
Art & Culture
Related
links, Pull-down menus, DHTML rollovers, sub-navigation: These are all
methods that informatin architects use to show related links on a page. Art &
Culture, however, has taken it up a notch when they introduced
contextual navigation in addition to their standard navigation.
Usability as Recognition
Because there are no reliable standards, there cannot be one methodology for evaluating a usable site.
