Infographic of the Decade: I Met the Walrus

USA Today, eat your heart out! This is an incredibly beautiful animated short that depicts a 1969 interview between John Lennon and a young man who had snuck into his hotel room during John’s “bed-in” for peace phase. The animation has a unique stream of consciousness approach...

The Olympics are Not Just for Jocks

Let’s face it readers, you and I are not jocks. I try to run two or three times a week. You like racquetball. Other than that, we’re not really sports people. Not sports people, that is, except when we catch some serious Olympics fever. And frankly, moments like...

No Ideas But In Things

In my mind, there is an undeniable relationship between UI design and graphic design. They share a similar communication goal and are both concerned with things like layout, color, balance and type. Whenever I mention that, though, Nate is quick to remind me that, while interaction design...

ThoughtBox: Visual Design

The weekend is quickly slipping away. I had a lot less time to spend on this than I had hoped (I guess that’s how it always goes). I helped a friend move this morning and it took a little longer than expected and I ended up running some errands, etc. You know. Anyway, here’s...

ThoughtBox: Wireframe

Just finished the wireframe for the app. I built the design around a principle from the book that really struck a chord with. David Allen talks about horizontal vs. vertical task management. The Horizontal tasks are all of your projects and the Vertical tasks are all of the action items...

Banksy Not So Anonymous Anymore

About a year ago, I read this great article in the New Yorker about Banksy. If you don’t know who Banksy is, you’ll want to do the same. It’s a great read, even if it is a little long (it’s the New Yorker after all). At the time, the masked graffiti ace garnered much [...]

A Survey of Silverlight 3D

A couple of weeks ago, I spent a little time trying to get my finger on the pulse of 3D in Silverlight. As of today (version 2, beta 2) there’s no “official” support. That’s a bummer. Flash has Papervision and now Astro. WPF has, well, WPF. You might...

Moving Type

That’s a play on words because not only do these videos have type that is literally moving (they are videos after all), but they are also great examples of how text can be a really powerful and emotional design element. If interaction design were rock n’ roll (I like to think of it...

ISO50, Barack Obama and the Power of Design

Regardless of your politics, I’m pretty sure that you can get behind Scott Hansen (Mr. ISO50 / Tycho Music). He’s a brilliant designer. His print work, in particular, is a major fount of inspiration. I saw this morning that the Obama campaign has commissioned him to do a poster, presumably...

Design Quiz

Think you’re a designer? Take the quiz and find out for sure. I missed three. I felt good about that and still stand by one of my "wrong" answers.
