Yesterday it was announced that Adobe will be announcing (gotta love announcements announcing announcements) Creative Suite 4 on September 23rd.
Adobe will be holding a special little event online showing all of the upcoming features of CS4 (which is rumored to be released as early as this Fall).
For those hip to trying out beta products, you [...]
It is that time of year again. Time to drool over the best designed apps for Macs and iPhones. Absent from this year’s list, Delicious Library 2, which won Best Leopard App last year. Let us know if you use any of these apps. My favorite thing about these awards is that you get introduced [...]
Do you possess a relentless attention to detail, a gifted eye for aesthetics and the ability to quickly grasp and distill highly complex matters? Then you just may be qualified to design future versions of Final Cut Pro, Motion and Soundtrack Pro!
Apple always has job openings, but it’s a bit rarer that they post one at [...]
Apple certainly did “Think Different” when they began using the white body iMacs. Soon it transcended across all Apple products and accessories. Is a new trend coming? One away from the white light?
From the launch of the iPhone it became clear that Apple was reinventing their look. All previous artist renderings referred to Apple’s classic [...]
I saw a post on the homepage of MSN today for the top design disasters of the tech world. Guess what made the list? Our friend the brown Zune. Good to see Microsoft has some humor in itself, even if it is a stretch from one of their affiliate companies.
If you don’t know that Apple thinks-through every minute detail of the things they do, you haven’t been a fan long enough. Take a long look at the hardware, the software, and the retail stores and your appreciation for the level of thought Apple puts into every thing they do should grow immensely. [...]
There was a mention on TUAW the other day of a version of the System Preferences icon made to look like the one from Leopard. Being both excited about Leopard and and very fond of changing my system icons, I took a look - and was very pleasantly surprised.
The icon is quite nice, and [...]
“Oh, it looks like an iPhone.” That was my wife’s opinion when she took a look at the brand new iMac. I thought the black bezel looked out of place on a Mac. I didn’t understand the thought behind the design. When my wife mentioned the iMac’s similarity to the iPhone, I thought she hit [...]
Today Apple announced a brand new shiny keyboard. It’s sculpted out of beautiful aluminum is freakishly thing.
But with all the hype they managed to leave out some major differences in the wired vs. wireless versions.
The top keyboard in that image is the wired and the bottom is the wireless/bluetooth version.
Yes, those are to scale.
No, [...]
In school, when working on UI development and web applications, I focused greatly on users and how they would interact with the application to accomplish tasks as part of a larger workflow. One of the key things that we have to try to focus on when designing interfaces is to come to a mental model [...]
Well we launched the brand-spankin’ new TAB this evening. The transition was relatively flawless…which is always a plus.
I’ll have a full writeup in the morning about new features and what not, so look for that.
In the meantime, if you notice any bugs/browser quirks/etc, please either post them here or contact us.
There is still quite a [...]

A quick rundown:
Delicious Library 2 goes home with the Best Leopard Application award - can’t wait to get a look at that piece of software, eh?
