Besides Turn off the lights feature I explained earlier, YouTube has more great stuff. I believe that you noticed “change view” feature which allows you to switch between normal and wide mode and thus expand/shrink movie area. I like this feature because in different circumstances, I need a different view. But the thing I like the most is that, although layout changes, it is done seamingly and all the information remains easily accessible.

Thanks Janko

People smiling and laughing about doing something super ordinary… What good design should be.

Nice find CC.

Barcodes grace almost every product for sale. Given how much package real estate they command, why shouldn’t they look cool?

Since 2005, D-Barcode has been creating custom barcodes for a mostly Japanese clientele. They’ve even begun selling their wares to anyone who wants to license them, starting at $1,500 for the design, and $200 a year for licensing. A custom or exclusive use code will run upwards of $4,000–but given that companies spend millions on designing a single package, why don’t we see more detailed thinking like this? Middle managers spend weeks arguing about kerning–it’d be better if they spent more time rethinking every inch of such highly prized real estate.

The difference between good and great webdesign is relatively small. The average person may not be able to explain the tangible differences that make up great design, but they can usually spot a design they like. By examining some awesome sites, I’ll attempt to put my finger on some of the small details that make up the difference.

A little while back I wrote an article about the 4 Principles of Good Design for Websites, this article is somewhat of a continuation of those principles. In that article I went into detail about the important roles that contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity play in webdesign. This article will piggy back on those principles as I examine 6 ways you can take your webdesign from good to great.

This post is chock full of awesome examples. I made a conscience effort to only pick sites that were great all the way around.

Thanks myinkblog.com for a great article.

Very interesting site. Learn the backstory of your favorite fonts.

After almost two years of owning this great 3 season tent, I was able to track down a footprint for it. North Face said they had it in their store in IL. Store said they didn’t. Called the Warranty dept., suggested by the manager of the store. Warranty dept. says the store has them. Store calls and says they found one. They are sending it my way now. Was ~$50, now $9.

Thanks Valerie, North Face Consumer Response Specialist
