Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Typeface
May 14th, 2007Here is a brilliant article by Michael Bierut on different reasons why we choose certain typefaces.

Surfers using Macs has doubled
May 9th, 2007Here’s an interesting article about how the Macs market share has doubled since last summer. Designers and developers can no longer ignore Mac users. They should have never been ignored in the first place, that’s bad design.
