Big Spaceship pays tribute to Flash Preloader

Pretty LoadedPretty Loaded

Big Spaceship (www.bigspaceship.com) recently launched "Pretty Loaded" a website paying tribute to some of the best preloaders in the past. The site won the FWA Award and not to mention a great place to kill some time and really get some great inspiration. It just proves that all elements of a flash site matters, no matter how big or small.

Graphic Design position, Pratt Center for Community Development

Hi there. I'm a consultant working with the Pratt Center for Community
Development, an organization based at Pratt Institute that helps NYC neighborhood groups get involved in city planning and development, on a revamp of our website, www.prattcenter.net. We have a new site theme that is nearly completed, as part of a Drupal implementation, and now are seeking a graphic designer to help us implement a key design element -- a series of three images that embodies the organization's motto: "Planning, Building and Educating for Change."

We are seeking a Pratt Institute design student for this project, and can compensate that student if he or she qualifies for work study employment. We are looking to complete this project by the end of March. I'll also get this message out to the department administrators and faculty, and will appreciate any advice about who to contact and how to best promote this opportunity. Thanks very much.

Great job, Asli! It really is a very beautiful piece.

Food for thought

I want all of them!

This is really a great resource for finding out about new (and old) design books, and if they are worth the usually high price tag they carry.

Culture Creators

I just read this article in the current issue of HOW Magazine about the new Graphic Designer, the "Culture Creator." I can relate so much! Although I stand by my opinion that Graphic Design is not art, I think Graphic Designers can be artists and probably should be, as the article's author Matt Mattus says; "the best designers are first and foremost artists. Everything else can be learned. Honest design requires talents that cannot be learned, only improved upon. Those gifts are passion, curiosity and drive."

Design by The Book

Design Sponge is pairing up with the New York Public Library, and invited five Brooklyn artists to get inspired by the library's collection. They have produced a series of videos documenting this process.
Here is the first.
