It has been another interesting week on Twitter. Last week I came across some great resources such as Fitvids, a lightweight jQuery plugin for fluid width video embeds, the iPhone app Gadgetbox, a huge collection of code snippets and a JS library that helps you with your web typography. We also found images of the original Twitter homepage. Enjoy!
It’s Saturday and you know what that means: time to pick a new logo of the week! This great logo was designed by Shihab, a freelance web and graphic designer who lives in India. The Fing logo was only a conceptual exercise but the idea behind this logo is really well executed. I think that this logo would be perfect for a internet-related company.
War has always been a terrible thing: destroying cities, tearing up families and scarring people for life. Photographers try to capture these terrible scenes so they can show us the real face of war. The result is a collection of touching and heartbreaking photos from the dark side of war. Some of the pictures in this gallery might be offending. Viewer discretion is advised.
Another interesting week in the Twitter universe. This week we came across Browserstack, a browser testing software. We took a look at Alex Mathers’ new book and we learned more about the golden ratio in web design. Another great discovery was Fontseek and Flexslider, a responsive jQuery slider.
The GUS-Trans logo is our new logo of the week. It was designed by Floris Voorveld, a Dutch freelance graphic designer living in Spain. His speciality is logo design but he can design pretty much everything else too. He designed this beautiful logo for a German transport company. The running bear represents the speed of this company.
Paper textures are always useful, whether you’re designing a website, poster or wallpaper. Correct use of textures can give your design something extra. But some designers are having trouble finding a texture in the right color and size. That’s why I’ve collected 100 high res paper textures in this article (p.s: it’s a mix of premium textures and free textures).
It was once again an interesting week on Twitter. The week was packed with useful and interesting tweets. Big news was the Wacom Inkling, a great tool that closes the gap between traditional and digital sketching methods. We also saw the semantic grid system, 12 graphic design paradoxes, a JPEG tool and the beautiful website for the Sony Tablet S.
This great logo is an unused proposal for a hear grooming salon.The designer put the hair cutting tools together in a graphic rendition to represent the salon. Strange that the salon didn’t choose this logo, I think it’s hard to come up with an even better one. I really like this logo because it’s clever and well executed.
