Cunning Stunts: fading between blurred and sharpened images

Cunning Stunts: fading between blurred and sharpened images

Calcbot’s product page has a particularly slick example of an animated transition that's showing up here and there on Apple-oriented sites: bringing an object towards/away from the camera while blurring/sharpening it.

On the web this is accomplished by fading between the original image and a prerendered blurred version, while simultaneously zooming and translating the image.

Old-fashioned ligatures on new-fashioned sites

Old-fashioned ligatures on new-fashioned sites

Topping the list of 2010's most irritating design affectations, it's the indiscriminate use of this warty little s-t ligature found in fashionable serif typefaces.

This ligature belongs on old books and websites about old books; when used to market modern software, it just looks contrived and completely incongruous.

Slideshare: All the fun of a powerpoint, in a tiny socialmedia-encrusted box

Slideshare: All the fun of a powerpoint, in a tiny socialmedia-encrusted box

Services like Slideshare are a frictionless way to distribute a presentation after a conference, but slideshows belong back at the conference - not on the web.

If the info in your slides is valuable enough to preserve for posterity, then it's worth writing it up as an article or a blog post: that way it's accessible, searchable, copypasteable and linked better to your online identity.

Retro gameshelf @ Good Old Games.com

Retro gameshelf @ Good Old Games.com

www.gog.com/ sells retro PC games rehabilitated to work on modern Windows PCs. They wear their Mac UI design sensibilities on their sleeves though, and their webstore makes those old games - or the act of purchasing them, at least - look drop-dead gorgeous.

The irony: their game catalogue only runs on Windows, not on Macs.
