Gestalt Principles for Visual UI Design

from Jakob Nielsen on UX [alt+shift+b] in design

3 weeks ago
Users parse a layout before they read its labels. Whitespace, borders, alignment, color, and motion determine what belongs together. When these cues fight the content, users attach the label, price, warning, status, or action to the wrong object. Proximity, similarity, enclosure,...

Tales o’ Tech: Suffering Fools

from Jeffrey Zeldman Presents [alt+shift+b] in design

3 weeks ago
I. In the early 2000s, an old friend with a new business wanted me to design his website, but his partner balked: “I can get two websites made in India for half the price,” the partner said. “Sounds like you should do that,” I replied, ending the negotiation. Rude fools were...

The silks of Como: A reminder of the value of craft

from Permanent Style [alt+shift+b] in design

3 weeks ago
I miss this. Visiting a mill is such an enjoyable, often inspiring experience, yet I don’t do it as much as I used to. Perhaps because once you’d done one worsted weaver it’s hard to justify more.  But we’ve never done silk. I did go to Vann... > Read more

The least wrong colors, version 2

from The personal website of Matt Ström-Awn [alt+shift+b] in design

2 weeks ago
Four years ago, I wrote “How to pick the least wrong colors.” The gist is: picking a categorical color palette is an optimization problem. There’s no such thing as the right colors. But if you use the right cost function, and the right kind of hill climbing, you can at least get...

The Empty Heading

from Christopher Butler [alt+shift+b] in design

a week ago
For many years, I have maintained a text file called “A Rubric for Website Design Critique.” It is relatively short, but used nonetheless; I’ve returned to it, off and on, for most of my career, referring back, adding things, removing things, adjusting. Its purpose is to...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
