IWS Web Design Social Bookmarking List Fall 2010

i know this definitely helped me out!

Augmented Reality anyone?  Esquire Magazine presents readers with a new technology to explore the magazine's pages with.   

This posting provides readers with an introduction to Wordpress themes.  I found the posting useful in that it breaks down the many features of a theme and how these themes function on the web.  

CSS-Tricks is a "Web Design Community" dedicated to helping css novices and experts alike.

This site is one that I would have found confusing before this class. It seems complicated with all of the different drawn images, but its block elements are very basic and straightforward.

Just another Wordpress theme to think about using. This theme gives a bit more of a writing feel.

I think this will be a very beneficial resource for all of us to make use of, especially when help by way of questions is needed immediately....

This is the web practictioner's blog. Some of the blog posts are over our heads at this point, but it's still interesting to read. It gave me an idea of what's going on in this web world we're entering.

While looking for cool website designs I stumbled upon quite a few that I really liked. Turns out, a lot of them were designed by this guy. He is awesome.

This web design agency definitely knows how to use web design effectively. This site's design is very simple and clean, but its colors are eye catching and the setup is very easy to navigate

Web accessibility of the future.

This article was written/posted a year ago, but I found it interesting -- detailing some "trends" in web pages. Some of the ideas (like hand-drawn designs) are probably way beyond our reach. I hope at least one of these sparks something, lets you think outside the box for your next installation! :)

Here are some tips when thinking about the fonts you'd like to use on your website.
