Perhaps the most artistic element of typography, the ampersand can add a touch of class to the visual form. Check out Adobe’s quick info on the evolving form of ampersands.

Cool Tide Commercial. Reminds me of the effect those flashing ads have on how I view a website. Thank God Firefox has it’s own version of the Tide Stick for websites.

The Washington Post did an astounding article about a world famous violinist playing in the New York Metro station. Not only is this notable for the sheer uniqueness of the stunt, but also for the eloquence of writing and quality of philosophical analysis. A must read.
Elsewhere at SXSW, a great presentation is available for download about web typography.

Apparently 20/20 did a segment on graphic design. The whole thing is just over a minute and makes no sense unless you are a graphics designer, I would assume. He even mentions Paul Rand.

Web 2.0, and my industry in general, has been nicely summarized in a single, short, video. If you only watch one video today on the web, let this be it.
The video is a response to the YouTube Web 2.0 video.

I don’t know about you, but when I am testing a website I sometimes find it difficult to find every kind of user that will be using it to test with and get feedback. This is especially true in my field of Higher Education, where the prospective students simply are too young to be in my circle… I usually have to make do with some work study students (whose opinions have helped me greatly).
The types of users I have trouble with are the disabled ones. Not so much the blind users, as I can easily test my designs using a screen reader myself. But the colorblind user isn’t something that I traditionally could test myself, or go back to some theory that I learned back while reading A List Apart. That all changed when I found a great site called the “Colorblind Web Page Filter.” It is truly a resource I can’t be as effective with without.
One thing that I will add as a tip on this is that you can test an image of your design prior to building it (or sending it as a proof too). If only I could find a way to make designing for cognitive disorders so easy.

Tips for a better design review process - Kieth wrote a great article that all designers should read. Nothing ground-breaking, but a great review. I am looking forward to the discussion in the comments.
Microsoft takes email back 5 years - I don’t regularly read this site, but all of us that do web marketing need to be aware of the rendering changes in Outlook. Go figure, as the webmail clients get better, the desktop ones revert. The world is out to get us, I am sure.
