Cool weblog
I came across the byrdhouse review today. It's tagline is "Smart talk about architecture, design, and photography." Very nice! Two entries I particularly enjoyed were modHouse, which shows a series of logo comps that were developed for a client, and a recipe for color, which describes a neat way for coming up with a natural color palette for design. The latter is cool just because it is such an easy technique to reproduce. The former is cool because it exposes something from the field of design that I'm not sure is common in the field of web design, and that's the idea of exploring lots and lots of solutions to a design problem. I think this is related to the problem with high-fidelity prototypes. Once you get close to something that is real, it makes it much harder to go outside the box and consider a design that isn't simply an extension of a known design. Hmmm...is it a design meme? Kevin, like Ken, is into the cropped face as blog design element.
