New Twitter Layout

Here are some quick guides for the New Twitter Profile:

Branding Prices

I hear a lot of questions in regards to the price and cost of logos. So I have written up a guide for expectations, though there is nothing hard and fast about this and logos and branding in and of themselves are highly personal and as such lend themselves to a quotes that are tailored to the specific needs. Design and value also varies on location but this has been my observation:

Connecting

“The 18 minute “Connecting” documentary is an exploration of the future of Interaction Design and User Experience from some of the industry’s thought leaders.

Disney Princesses in Historically Accurate Dress

Clare Hummel is an artist for Microsoft Game Studios Publishing. With a practical knowledge in period dress She has taken it upon herself to rework the Disney princesses in more accurate dress for the time period. I have found the princesses to be “redone” a little too much but these are fantastic.

Review: On the Grid Podcast

On the Grid is a relatively recent podcast which involves three guys discussing all aspects of design.
