Non-Aeron Office Chair Picks? Good Questions Q - Okay, I may be in the minority here, but I find Herman Miller's Aeron Chair is the perfect example of form over function. Sure, it looks so corporate and minimalistic, but after months of awkwardness, leg-circulation cut-offs, and the annoying back support that feels like someone's elbow, I'm done.

Last » How Two Uni Friends Started DesignCrowd & Built a Multi-Million Dollar Business - TNW Australia DesignCrowd is a design crowdsourcing service — a site where buyers can list a job for a logo, web design or other visual end product and receive a number of options from designers around the world. When the buyer decides which of the entrants has provided the best solution, that designer gets paid out and the design becomes the property of the buyer. DesignCrowd and services like it are an excellent way for people and businesses on a shoestring budget to get their design needs met. Bootstrapped startups, for instance, love sites like DesignCrowd. In fact, funded startups do too: when 99designs received $35 million in funding last month, they revealed that most investors had heard about them when other startups in the capitalists’ portfolios used the service to obtain an inexpensive logo.

Herman Miller Unveils the SAYL Task Chair Previous image Next image Several months back at the annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair, Unplggd and the team from Herman Miller discussed the recent proliferation of affordable task seating from the realm of higher end furniture manufacturers; designs like the Herman Miller Setu have been redefining features and expectations at price points previously unheard of. Soon after, we were given some hints about something special in the works that would further redefine the market of affordable task seating: "…a fully featured task chair with range of features/adjustments and intended as an all-day work seat (unlike Setu) but at a remarkably accessible price (essentially half of a typical Aeron at retail), and with a very cool new aesthetic, new materials, etc."

How to Crowdsource Your Research and Development Brazil's most popular automaker, Fiat, sought a design for its 2009 concept vehicle, the Fiat Mio. Rather than turning inward to its core team of designers and engineers to come up with the new look, the company turned outward—and let the world decide how the car would look, feel, and drive. By crowdsourcing the design of the car through its website, fueled by a viral marketing campaign, the Fiat Mio became the world's first fully-crowdsourced vehicle, debuting at the Sao Paulo International Automobile Show to rave reviews. All in all, the car's design took into account some 10,000 suggestions from people in more than 160 countries. "A good designer tries to realize the wishes of everyone, and with this concept car we were truly working on everybody's behalf," said Peter Fassbender, manager of Fiat's design center, Centro Estilo, in a release.
30 Examples of Clean and Minimal Website Navigation Navigation is one of the most important aspects of a web design, but this doesn’t mean it needs to be overly complicated or over designed. In fact, when it comes to navigating a website, simplicity is a good thing. Some navigations make use of design elements like 3D bars, buttons, and tabs to appear clickable, which works great for certain web designs. However, clickability can be achieved with a focus on typography, placement, and maybe some subtle line work. 55 Inspiring Examples of Gradients in Web Design Gradients are a great way to add interest, color, and even depth to a web design.

The point is that gradients are beautiful and can give your website a very unique style. You can use a cool gradient for the whole website design, or only in the header, footer or just in a couple elements of it, but I’m pretty sure about one thing: combining the right colors and shades will make you a gradient lover!
