Remote studies allow you to recruit subjects quickly, cheaply, and immediately, and give you the opportunity to observe users as they behave naturally in their own environment. In Remote Research, Nate Bolt and Tony Tulathimutte teach you how to design and conduct remote research studies, top to bottom, with little more than a phone and a laptop.

Font‑To‑Width (FTW!) is a script by Nick Sherman and Chris Lewis that takes advantage of large type families to fit pieces of text snugly within their containers. Unlike other text-fitting tools like FitText.js, Font‑To‑Width does not scale the font-size (at least not by default). Instead, it chooses a width or weight variant according to what fits best, and then allows for letter- and word-spacing adjustments as needed.

As the world deals with increasing complexity — in issues of sustainability, finance, culture and technology — business and governments are searching for a form of problem solving that can deal with the unprecedented levels of ambiguity and chaos. Traditional "linear thinking" has been disparaged by the popular media as being inadequate for dealing with the global economic crisis. Standard forms of marketing and product development have been rejected by businesses who need to find a way to stay competitive in a global economy. Yet little has been offered as an alternative. It is not enough to demand that someone "be more innovative" without giving him the tools to succeed.

Generative design research is an approach to bring the people we serve through design directly into the design process in order to ensure that we can meet their needs and dreams for the future. The book introduces an emerging domain of design that is of immense interest today not only to the academic design research community but also to those in the business community charged with the development of human-centred products, systems, services, and environments. There are no other books with this focus and coverage currently available.

All design is situated—carried out from an embedded position. Design involves many participants and encompasses a range of interactions and interdependencies among designers, designs, design methods, and users. Design is also multidisciplinary, extending beyond the traditional design professions into such domains as health, culture, education, and transportation. This book presents eighteen situated design methods, offering cases and analyses of projects that range from designing interactive installations, urban spaces, and environmental systems to understanding customer experiences.
Each chapter presents a different method, combining theoretical, methodological, and empirical discussions with accounts of actual experiences. The book describes methods for defining and organizing a design project, organizing collaborative processes, creating aesthetic experiences, and incorporating sustainability into processes and projects. The diverse and multidisciplinary methods presented include a problem- and project-based approach to design studies; a “Wheel of Rituals” intended to promote creativity; a pragmatist method for situated experience design that derives from empirical studies of film production and performance design; and ways to transfer design methods in a situated manner. The book will be an important resource for researchers, students, and practitioners of interdisciplinary design.

As one of the core design principles, typography can really make or break a website design. Despite recent advances in web type technology we’re still fairly limited when it comes to creative typography layouts, meaning image replacement techniques are still common, but these days we have massive choice when it comes to selecting fonts for our designs. This post showcases 40 website designs that all feature beautiful typography in a creative way, this might be through elegant typographic layouts or perfectly typeset combinations of styles to create visually pleasing pages.

Тема сегодняшней подборки о веб-дизайне — монохромные сайты. Мы собрали интересные работы как в черно-белых тонах, так и в других цветовых сочетаниях. Объединяет примеры одно — количество используемых цветов при разработке дизайна весьма ограничено. Такой вариант создания палитры выглядит проще, однако не теряют ли сайты от такой «скупости» дизайнера на цвета?

Drawing with divs and other native HTML elements is possible, but a bit clunky and subject to the usual inconsistencies across different browsers. Using SVG is more reliable, visually consistent, and faster.

Vector drawing software like Illustrator can be used to generate SVG files, but we need to learn how to generate them with code.

Background images in HTML email have long been acknowledged as inconsistent in their rendering across email clients. For this reason, I've avoided them within our our own emails, as well as those we offer to our customers. However, this past year has witnessed a flood of premium, designer templates from our competitors that liberally use background images. Moreover, these competitors claim to have tested them in all major email clients. So, I began to wonder. Had support for background images improved? Had I missed an announcement for a reliable solution or hack? These questions persuaded my own little investigation into the current state of background image support in HTML emails.
