Labels Inside Form Fields
Niki
Nice example of simple and space saving usability – Check out Stefano J. Attardi’s demo that uses labels and java script to simplify the form building process.
Floating Logos
Niki
Love this collection of floating logos. I moved across the country from the midwest this past year and saw my fair share of mile high signs from the hi-way. Kinda erie and creepy.

If you liked the Periodic Table of Adobe Shortcuts, you’ll get a kick out of the Periodic Table of Typefaces.

Vinyl Junkie Texture Pack
Travis
High Resolution Textures has put together a great texture pack for vinyl junkies.
But today, I am offering you a nice texture pack, which includes 6 colorful images of my personal record collection. Being a DJ and vinyljunkie for years, I wonder, why it took me so long to come up with that idea.
Info-Paper-Graphics
Niki
I’m a total information graphcis nerd, but I’ve never seen anything like this before! Check out Dear Gretchen by Gretchen Nash.
An extensive book that investigates letters that I have kept inside a luggage case since my childhood. The process of the book included finding the word and phrase frequency of the letters, categorizing them by sender, by date, and finally writing personal reflections about each of the senders. Graphs were constructed to reveal the word frequency and each of the 187 letters were thoroughly documented inside of the book.
