Found Friday Vol 66

September 9, 2011

Aww yeahhh…. this week’s Found Friday is a solid one. We have some awesome tees for designers; an ugly but very useful app for scheduling meetings; a must-read article on pricing for designers; some beautiful CSS3 buttons; and some killer free fonts from FontFont. Read on!

Not only are these shirts beautifully designed (not to mention the site!), but they’re printed on American Apparel and reasonably priced. It’s a perfect storm for designerd consumerism!

WhenIsGood

Ostensibly inspired by the phrase “When is good for you?”, this ugly-yet-useful free web app allows a link to be generated that showcases a calendar. This link can be sent out to various parties, who then check off which days are “good” for them to meet. The app keeps track of all parties and narrows down the entries to show the days that work for everyone. Simple and awesome!

Found Friday Vol 65

September 2, 2011

We’re back! Like Ma$e. Actually, hopefully not like Ma$e. Anyway, this week’s Found Friday is a stellar collection: Wacom’s new digital drawing tool; 2 articles showcasing usability examples (Amazon = Good, Microsoft = Bad); a great site for those wishing to learn how to code; and an article on realigning your views on “stupid” clients.

Inkling

Wacom’s new tool is a digital pen/receiver style combination. It lets you draw on actual paper, with all that textiley goodness, and captures your drawing digitally. Check the video below.

The $300M Button

This is an old article, but is a must-read for any web designer/developer. It explores Amazon’s real-life example of ecommerce, and how one change led to $300M more revenue.
