Join our FriendFeed Room!

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

A little while ago, I created a room on Friendfeed.com for all us creatives that float round them parts. Member numbers are up to over 55, and as far as I’m concerned - the more the merrier! Fantastic content, images, links, resources and sketches are being posted to the group daily.

So please - check out Designers Who Design Things on Friendfeed :-)

CNET Reveals Upcoming Redesign

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

CNET’s Dan Farber has posted a preview of the upcoming release of cnet.com. The look features a tomato red and shades of gray colour-scheme, with a clearer layout containing a decent amount of whitespace.

The general feel, to me, resembles a blur between CNET as it exists today, and the layout of a major blog. Ars Technica holds a similar design concept, where it is hard to tell it between a news site, or a blog (or indeed, a network of blogs).

I noticed earlier that the BBC Homepage had changed slightly. Then I saw the notice at the top of the page. Nice advance-planing, beeb!
