their Technical Note format, and altough it’s really dry information of a technical nature, in its own way it’s quite beautiful. A subdued but good use of fonts, good in-file linking that’s well distinguished from the rest of the page, a good executive summary at the top, the date of publication/update is prominently displayed, and they use shading and an indent to very clearly highlight code. And there’s a PDF equivalent available at the bottom, cause no matter how nice it looks online, a PDF will print better. Form following function, to ape the famous old line, but not devoid of form as many techies assume is appropriate for other techies.
The Fringe starts
tomorrow here in Montreal, and the beer tent is just around the corner from my place so I expect to be going by quite a bit in the next week or so. If you’re curious, they have a really nice website this year, design by Black Eye, development by the good people at Plank Design.
It’s very busy
but (perhaps) surprisingly functional. I like the new design for Shift Magazine‘s website. Reminds me a lot of some of the designer’s design sites around. I especially like the navigation bar at the top that helps you to easily navigate disparate sections of the site.
It’s pretty much official
now – it looks like I’m going to be teaching a class at McGill University in the fall. I’ll be doing a section of the Internet Design and Analysis course offered as part of McGill’s Graduate certificate in e-commerce program (Ed Bilodeau developed the curriculum and will teach the other section). I’m actually pretty excited about it, even though I won’t start until September.
CTHEORY
CTHEORY: Carl has done an excellent front-end redesign. Arthur and Marilouise, with Eugene Thacker, have added a super-feature, Tech Flesh. Coming soon, Tech Flesh Multimedia.
