This week featured a booooring March Madness, Opening Day and Digg premiering their latest efforts in social news. Enjoy the new hotness!
New Hotness — Overall Winner
[Design Observer] Ten Graphic Design Paradoxes by Adrian Shaugnessy
Shaugnessy is one of my favorite design writers. He writes with none of the pretentiousness that I can’t stand in other design writing. I recommend his book.
New Hotness — Typography
[Design Daily] 30 high-quality free fonts for professional designs by Mirko
Once again, it’s nice to have this in one place. Updated from the one Smashing ran a year back or so to boot.
New Hotness — Web Dev
[Desizn Tech] 16+ Tech-Tool/Tip that will Make you a Better Web Designer and Blogger by Kawsar Ali
Desizn Tech is cool. The website is different and has personality in it’s uniqueness. Some design websites these days are unique in the actual design of their website but not very unique in the way they write, how they write and what they write. I’m still trying to find my voice, so it’s nice to see other websites go FTW in a way that I’m trying to do.
New Hotness — Design
[AIGA] Design Less, Think More by Andrew Twigg
I like the stories Twigg tells in his article.
New Hotness — Tutorial
[Smashing Magazine] Table Layouts vs. Div Layouts: From Hell to… Hell? by Geir Wavik
I’m using the 960 grid so sometimes I get “divvy wit it” but I can use more sense too.
More:
David Airey on the controversial spec-work Forbes artivle.
Noupe has a nice list of Illustrator tuts.
Jacob Gube’s got a nice round-up of J-Query interface tuts
Fine artist named Aiko has a retro hip style that reminds me of art deco combined with collage.
Another nice TWIType
Sander breaks down Citroen’s re-brand a bit. DWP is a cool (fairly new) website.
