The challenge of achieving good legibility and readability of color displays in all computer graphics (including all imagery and typography) is a constant one. Especially when computer-based displays show up in more and more unexpected places, like your eyeglasses, on t-shirts, and on vehicle windshields, not just on desktop computer screens and mobile device displays. Just because user-experience (UX) design/human-computer interface (HCI) design has added layers of complexity does not mean that fundamental color issues have gone away.
Persuasive design patterns are psychological principles that recurrently influence us toward action. Design patterns are standard reference points for the experienced user interface designer. This site is focused on persuasive design patterns for the web.

Ever since attending last year’s Build Conference I’ve been using what I’ll call “The Modular Scale Method,” which is a technique I’ve found invaluable for building my designs from the content out.

Paper prototyping is a commonly used low cost usability method for testing and evaluating web designs and applications. This method lets developers conduct tests before a single line of code has been written, and allows you to identify and fix any potential issues early on in development.In this post we have collected our top 10 videos that not only illustrate how effective paper prototyping can be, they also show you how to cost effectively conduct your own tests and some of the videos have been animated, which are just amazing to view.
This tool lets you combine icon webfonts for your own project. With fontello you can:
shrink glyph collections, minimizing font size;
merge symbols from several fonts into a single file;
access large sets of professional-grade open source icons.
Now it's trivial to make a custom icon webfont, exactly for your needs. First, select the icons you like. Then update glyph codes (optional), and download your webfont bundle. We generate everything you need, ready for publishing on your website!
When someone asks you for a web image that’s, say, two inches wide, they’re estimating how it would appear on their own monitor. Without changing the image’s pixel dimensions, that image would appear larger or smaller on different monitors—and would even look different on the same monitor at a different resolution setting.
The easiest way for creative teams to think, imagine and discuss their ideas.
