Read at Work

Do you wish to read books in office & don't want to be caught. Checkout http://www.readatwork.com . It mimics Windows XP interface and opens full screen so that no one can make out that its actually a website and not your desktop. 

The books are neatly arranged in the folders on desktop and the books open in PowerPont format. The content is actually presented in typical powerpoint slides. Check it out. It's real fun.

A super example of Information Design

Megan Jaegerman's brilliant news graphics

Megan Jaegerman produced some of the best news graphics ever while working at The New York Times from 1990 to 1998. Her work is smart, finely detailed, elegant, witty, inventive, informative. A fierce researcher and reporter, she writes gracefully and precisely. Megan has the soul of a news reporter, who happens to use graphs, tables, and illustrations--as well as words--to explain the news.

Cake Timetable

I liked this bit of information design found in a cake shop called Sprinkles. They sell selected cakes on selected days.

Zlango! -for people who love making spelling mistakes!!

Reminded me of KEN's course on typography for Information design students.....

It's an experiment with visual languauge mainly targeting the "oh so wow!! " teenagers.... very US based language... the expressions, visuals, words... meanings....


it's ZLANGO! the fun icon language for people who love making spelling mistakes!!
