Not only for designers, but also developers who get the opportunity to provide input to the design process.
Thoughts on web development and technologies by Peter Gasston
Creating page layouts from magazines
This is an idea I first read about in Andy Clarke’s excellent book, Transcending CSS (if you don’t have a copy already, you should really think about getting one), and was then reinforced by Jon Hicks’ presentation at @media 2007, How To Be A Creative Sponge. In both cases, they suggest using magazine layouts as […]
What I saw at @media 2007
So @media 2007 is over and, after a little breather, here’s a short breakdown of what I saw, in chronological order, along with links to presentations where possible.
There were lots of great, inspiring ideas, which should spin out into a few more posts in the near future.
@media, CSS 3, and browser news
I’ve been at @media Europe 2007 today, watching some top-notch presentations about the current and future state of the web. I think Dan Cederholm’s Interface Design Juggling was the pick of the bunch, although it was a close-run thing.

New Labour website launches
Just a day after the Prime Minister announces he’s to step down in June, triggering a leadership contest, the Labour party launches their redesigned website.
Aside
Mark Boulton Design have been selected to redesign drupal.org, the website of the Drupal CMS. I’m a big admirer of Mark’s writing about design and typography, and I think it’s exciting that a big open-source project is going in this direction.
Now, if we could get him to design the Drupal user interface (as Veerle Pieters is doing with Expression Engine), that would really be something.
