Design Critique: Read/WriteWeb
Read/WriteWeb is a great site, content-wise, I read it from time to time - I especially like Marshall Kirkpatrick’s writing style. Actually, all sites in the RWW Network, being Last100 and AltSearchEngine, as well as the podcast Read/WriteTalk, all reek of quality. That’s nice.
What’s not as nice is the design the flagship site, Read/WriteWeb sports. […]

A Nice Sidebar Design
With all the sidebar (and footer) bashing I’ve been doing lately, I thought I’d share a nice sidebar design with you, and tell you why I like it.
Enter Blog Perfume, which has a decent design overall, clean and sober, yet modern and with things happening. I’m no fan of the header, the background makes it […]

Fun With Design: “In Case You Missed These”
Sometimes design is funny. Or, at the very least, commentary on said design is funny. Check these out, in case you missed them.
NYT on Windows Vista
David Pogue in a YouTube clip explaining (sarcastically, in case you miss it) that Windows Vista is nothing like Mac OS X. Ignore the flurry of useless comments below it […]

But that is not all they have in common; they are also both 9Rules defectors. However, I do not want to dwell on that, because it will only lead to trouble. […]

Top Heavy Designs

Forget About The Fold: Skysports Redesign, Less Is Less.
When Skysports launched their redesign 2 weeks ago, they’ve forgotten one thing. The new CSS-based design is visually appealing, and contains everything one expects from a modern news portal. Enough of whitespace, integrated social bookmarking links and comments. But it lacks in one area: usability.
While the page height has been drastically reduced all over the […]

Side by Side: The New ProBlogger
I’m a big fan of Darren’s ProBlogger. I wouldn’t read it as often as I do if I wasn’t. So it struck me as interesting when he recently launched a complete redesign of his website. When someone in the top 5,000 does that, it’s time to stand up and take notice.
That’s what I’ve done. Let’s […]

The Beauty of Sketch Design
Sketch Design is what I call it when a web designer uses techniques that go beyond standard web graphical elements. Your standard elements are buttons and banners that generally try to mimic a real world texture, whether it be plastic or glass or something along those lines. This is a tried and true technique that […]
