Things I missed : It’s Nice That web makeover
It’s Nice That, an excellent source for design inspiration, is one of my favorite sites. And look at their new web design. Classy! This occurred during my “April of Abandonment,” so I’m late on the posting. But I’m very pleased with what I’m seeing. The long columns are still used, which is classy, shifting the...

Reminiscent of childhood illustration but with an honesty that is hard to come by sometimes, I’m just totally digging his work. And he is this week’s feature for Illustration Thursday. Here’s more of favorites: Yellow Bird Project...
Web Wednesday : Design Inspiration
I’m an obessive collector. I’ll admit that. But what I’ve found as I’ve work in the design arena/read design blogs, is that almost everyone in this business is as well. That almost everyone has a folder filled with brochures or a binder full of magazine ads. And this is comforting. So this week’s Web Wednesday...

Ok, so this one, you really are just going to have to check it out for yourself–Hyperbolic Symmetry flash thing over at the University of Oregon website.
