“The ColorFAQ clarifies aspects of colour specification and image coding that are important to computer graphics, image processing, video, and the transfer of digital images to print.”
“The prevailing US stronghold of Postmodern graphic design is cluttered with icons. From the late 1980s onwards, a number of key schools (CalArts, Cranbrook, Rhode Island), personalities (Keedy, Carson, Makela, Deck) and publications (Ray Gun; Beach Culture) combined to form a catalyst, gradually establishing a network of ideological typographic discourse. …Emigre is also confined to this group of icons, but it is a misleading view. It remains essentially semi-detached from the leading PoMo players — not necessarily a step ahead, but working to one side.”

“For Web designers, the time always comes when you are asked to design a logo. Now, you might well be a seasoned graphic designer with years of logo designs under your belt or, you might think that it is just a matter of finding a typeface and tapping the words out on a keyboard and applying a Photoshop filter. Either way, you can improve your logos if you follow a few tried and trusted guidelines.” Here’s Joe Gillespie’s Logo Design Workshop, Part 2.

Peter Merholz: “So, I was asked to give a talk on ‘What Makes an Interface Communicate?’ for Web2000. At first I didn’t think I was going to do anything particularly interesting, but somehow (lots of coffee and the benefit of good books on interface design lying around the house) I put something together that doesn’t suck. … Anyway, since I was taking someone else’s title (I was subbing for another presenter), the talk ended up being more of a riff on what makes an interface communicate (as opposed to some thought out, reasoned discourse on the topic). Lots of sources cited, and a nifty slide comparing volume knobs.”
