Gobelins, l’école de l’image - Et alors, ce projet ? at SOYMALAU - MMVIII - ZEITUNG
by 1 otherJ’aborde immédiatement la question de l’antériorité du concept. Imaginons que la team de l’Explo lab d’Orange ait commencé à travailler sur son “copycat” avant nous (j’ai posé la question sur leur forum et ils m’ont dit être dessus depuis deux ans et demi). Le problème qui se pose alors est celui de la confidentialité et du conflit d’intérêts éventuel entre un formateur et les étudiants encadrés.

75 (Really) Useful JavaScript Techniques | Developer's Toolbox | Smashing Magazine
by 11 othersDevelopers and designers are using more and more JavaScript in modern designs. Sometimes this can be a hindrance to the user and take away from the simplicity of the design, and other times it can add greatly to the user’s experience. The key is a) adding the right amount of JavaScript, and b) using the right JavaScript techniques. We have already collected various JavaScript techniques in the past – now it’s time for a new portion of JavaScript.
Aza’s Thoughts » Vote! How to Detect the Social Sites Your Visitors Use
by 1 otherHow does SocialHistory.js know? By using a cute information leak introduced by CSS. The browser colors visited links differently than non-visited links. All you have to do is load up a whole bunch of URLs for the most popular social bookmarking sites in an iframe and see which of those links are purple and which are blue. It’s not perfect (which, from a privacy perspective, is at least a little comforting) but it does get you 80% of the way there. The best/worst part is that this information leak probably won’t be plugged because it’s a fundamental feature of the browser.
ShopComposition | Composition | Outfitting Designers Since 2003
Composition started as my way to express and share a passion for design. It started a little over 5 years ago with a 450 square foot space in lower downtown Denver. It was a terrible retail location but I guess I was so optimistic and naive that I didn't know any better. I think my sheer exuberance for the products, vendors and the people I was meeting carried me through that first 15 months. Since then, I have learned a great deal about the retail business and its many challenges; grown the store to 2600 square feet in its current Belmar location and continued to feed and share my passion for design and the creative community that this store reaches. I have a lot more to say and share, but right now there is a website to launch.

our company : teehan+lax
When we started our business we had a few ideas about where the industry was going and what kind of role we wanted to fill in the marketplace. Using these insights we formed the basis of how we do business and what we do.
We witnessed more clients taking a lot of their work in-house, especially on the technology and maintenance side of the business. We believe that there will be very few end-to-end builds like there was two or three years ago. Instead companies are looking to get the most out of the technology and infrastructure they have purchased.

iPhone GUI PSD
by 3 othersOver the past few months we’ve had to create a few iPhone mock ups for presentations. The problem we’ve encountered is the lack of resources to help us design something efficiently. Up until now we’ve used a nice PSD from 320480.com but we still found ourselves having to build out additional assets or heavily modifying bitmap based buttons and widgets.

disambiguity » About
by 2 othersThis blog is where I share what I’m passionate about and what’s currently got my attention in the realm of User Experience (UX), User Centred Design (UCD), Information Architecture (IA), Interaction Design (IxD), and Usability.
I’m particularly interested in where these things intersect with Social Design and have a great interest in how social environments online shape us and how we shape them, and how we as designers should be getting involved in improving our social experience online.
My name is Leisa Reichelt. I do freelance contextual research and user centred design. I’m based in London but have quite a bit of experience working remotely.

SaveTheDevelopers.org :: Making The Web A Better Place, One Campaign At A Time...
by 2 othersNotre campagne consiste à assister les usagers dans la mise à niveau du navigateur Internet Explorer 6. Le but visé est de permettre aux anciens utilisateurs d'IE 6 de vivre une expérience web agréable tout en créant (souhaitons-le) un environnement moins stressant et moins compliqué pour les développeurs web, et ce, en accélérant le retrait d'un navigateur désuet.
Gestion de la réputation sur Internet » Blog Archive » Classification des outils de gestion de la réputation numérique
Certains services, comme Google avec son PageRank ou eBay, doivent leur succès principalement à leur système de gestion de la réputation alors même que ce n’est pas le cœur de leur offre. La gestion de la réputation est donc parfois un “accessoire” bien utile ! On pourrait avec un peu d’audace définir Google et eBay avant tout comme des outils de gestion de la réputation qui, très accessoirement, proposent un moteur de recherche pour Google et un site de e-commerce pour eBay !
Design isn’t about tools : Journal : Mark Boulton
I’ve always liked to abstract my design process from the tools I use. Photoshop, Fireworks, HTML/CSS, Pen and paper, HTML Wireframes using Blueprint, Omnigraffle—It doesn’t really matter. You use what’s best for your workflow at the time. These are all tools in the same way that a pencil is a tool. They are implements to realise a solution to a problem. You say tomato and I say toe-may-toe.
Stopdesign | Choosing the right tool
However… I consider myself fairly competent in HTML & CSS. But even I am limited in design by starting with code before having a few design ideas fleshed out.
I have advocated in the past that HTML and even CSS are not design tools. They are tools used to implement design. There’s a big difference.
