…that’s me.

On a related note, I hope you have a blastin’ holiday. I hope I will too.

Best wishes, y’all.

Hey wait, haven’t I blogged about Just Watch the Sky in the past? No? Shame on me.

Just Watch the Sky is a fun, fun, inspirational project that glorifies lyrics by making (typographic) art out of them. You can also listen to the respective song in the embedded player. Very cool.

Some of my favourite works are:

Eventhough it’s not as updated anymore, I still use it all the time to browse through some impressive typography and well suited colour palettes and get inspiration.

Just by looking at one of those, millions of ideas come. Unfortunately, I’ve lost the link to the original creator (I’m really ashamed about this), so if you see this post and you’re the daddy of this, please drop me a line.

So pwetty.

I recently found a UX blog with a twist that I actually like: that’s UXBooth.com. The nice people in there give their opinion on sites, using simple language and their experience to point out the obvious faults, while offering free advice to people on how to improve their sites. I like the fact that the whole thing does not resemble a blog entry but a mini brainstorming session with the guys – very effective.

While the overall design of the site is what I call Web 2.1 hippie-hypey (I’m not harsh, it’s not bad, I like it), I really liked the way they’re presenting their individual opinions – coloured strips, different colour for different author, and a nice author image tag. See for yourself:

Simple, pleasant and effective.

Good job, guys!
