Laura Snoad asks the world’s best graphic and interactive designers, illustrators and animators to set briefs to inspire your next project. Here are their inspired suggestions. I wouldn't exactly call myself an old-fashioned guy, but I'm a little surprised at how long it's taking me to get accustomed to one of the minor little tweaks in OS X Lion, the new version of Apple's Mac operating system that launched today. I'm talking about page scrolling, which Apple has just inverted by default, and the newly tweaked feature can take more than a little getting used to… http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/

Here I’ll give the info that could take you ages to find by yourself or another designer to tell (maybe because of lack of time or selfishness). I tried to cover most of the aspects that will help you in your journey, in a total of 15 aspects. Let’s start with some healthy tips for images.

August 19, 2011 GuideGuide 2 (which isn’t released yet) has the ability to create a baseline grid, but with a little creativity and math you can use the current version of GuideGuide to create one as well. As an example, let’s assume I want a 30 row, 16px baseline grid. http://www.cameronmcefee.com/category/blog/mysideprojects/
Also known as International Style, the Swiss Style does not simply describe a style of graphic design made in Switzerland. It became famous through the art of very talented Swiss graphic designers, but it emerged in Russia, Germany and Netherlands in the 1920’s. This style in art, architecture and culture became an ‘international’ style after 1950’s and it was produced by artists all around the globe. Despite that, people still refer to it as the Swiss Style or the Swiss Legacy. This progressive, radical movement in graphic design is not concerned with the graphic design in Switzerland, but rather with the new style that had been proposed, attacked and defended in the 1920s in Switzerland.

Pixel Perfection When Rotating, Pasting And Nudging In Photoshop - Smashing Magazine

When creating Web and app interfaces, most designers slave over every single pixel, making sure it’s got exactly the right color, texture and position. If you’re not careful, though, some common functions like moving, rotating and pasting can undo your hard work, resulting in a blurry mess. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/04/14/mastering-photoshop-pixel-perfection-when-rotating-pasting-and-nudging/

This arti­cle is for web design­ers and front-end web devel­op­ers who are inter­ested in grid-based lay­out sys­tems but are at a loss on how to decipher them. In this fas­ci­nat­ing ini­ti­a­tion into visual design and typog­ra­phy. The first chap­ter deals with pro­por­tions: grid sys­tems and typo­graph­i­cal measurements. Order­ing Dis­or­der is a book by Khoi Vinh that deliv­ers a defin­i­tive take on grids and the Web and pro­vides both the big ideas and tech­niques of grid-based design. Made popular by the International Typographic Style movement and pioneered by legends like Josef Müller-Brockmann and Wim Crouwel, the grid is the foundation of any solid design. The Grid System is an ever-growing resource where graphic designers can learn about grid systems, the golden ratio and baseline grids.
