GO AWAY
orBlack in History is Communication Arts Web Pick of the day for May 22nd, 2013. So about a month ago, I mentioned I had some big news. Being the paranoid weirdo I am, I waited until I could see with my own two eyes before I shared it. Thanks for all the support and attention people.
I think this calls for the snuggie gif folks:
Sneak preview: Syncing fonts to your desktop (by TypekitVideos)
Without a doubt, my favorite part of today’s announcements.
FINALLY. Too bad it’s with creative cloud though, leaves a lot of people out in the cold. Unless I’m wrong. Am I wrong? Please say I’m wrong.
I’m very close to finishing the design of the index page, I just gotta figure out how to incorporate static page navigation, and footer content. I want to keep it minimal as possible, so I’m considering putting the 2 together. Maybe.
Also I plan on having a unique way of designing the post pages, so I’m not rehashing the same layout from the index page design. At least not straight on. I’ll see what makes sense.
Anyway, just wanted to keep you guys informed of the situation. Does anyone have interest in purchasing this theme? Keep in mind I’ll be using a pay-what-you-want system, so it will be potentially free.
orSo, this is the (somewhat) secret thing I was working on at my agency. We launched it last week. Basically, it’s a semi-regular digital magazine/microsite discussing Hawkeye’s viewpoints in advertising, marketing, technology, consumer insights, design, etc. Created to be responsive and device agnostic.
I got to work closley with some really smart developers in building it and ironing out all the responsive willynillyness. jQuery, CSS3, and HTML5 technologies/markup were definitely taken advantage of here. I was personally responsible for the art-direction and visual design. We had a very limited timeline, and I’m pretty happy with what we pulled off with that looming over us. Trickiest part by far? The flyout nav menu and making that work on mobile devices. *Phew
We started out with 2 article templates, but as other issues come out, we’ll be adding on for more variety throughout each issue. Check it out, and please share. This is phase one, but there are plans to enhance and tweak along the way. If you want to see the credits, as always, take a peek at the humans.txt file.
Thanks!

orFinally. A great alternative to people not wanting to download or not able to download Spotify on their computers. Great work guys. Design is great as well. This will only help to secure their dominance in the cloud music space. I will continue to shell out my 10 bucks a month for this.
Go ahead. Give it a whirl.
**Edit** This came out a little while ago, but this is the first I’ve ever seen of this interface, so I would guess there are a few of you like me who haven’t seen it either. My apologies if old news!
