A lot of fonts these days come with 4 different styles of numerals/figures ( http://fontfeed.com/archives/figuring-out-numerals/ ). Typographically each has its different uses: inl…

the most likely scenario is that the screen is simulated.

Yeah it's more of an insight into the design process than any sort of 'plea'. It should also be noted that for their previous game, Puzzlejuice, they also released all the emails/p…

They mention that. "But why is Threes better? It’s better for us, for our goals." and then later: "that’s what’s better to us as game designers. We worked really hard to create a s…

Shameless self promotion: we're having a hackathon specifically geared towards designers and developers working together: http://designandhack.org/

> As a result, many of the people coming out of professional design schools, trained in the esthetics of flat, non-interactive design see themselves as 'above' all that 'computer s…

I don't know how true that is. There are a lot of things in expensive fonts that provide intrinsic quality: more character sets (greek and cryllic for example), openType features l…

My personal rule on carousels is that they're okay to use if you don't care if your user only sees one of the slides. But if that's the case then you might as well just not have a …

It's a good thought, but it's named wrong. Emphasis on 'psds vs not psds' makes it seem like it's about the tools, but it's not: it's about the process. Most of the problems stated…

I guess what I was referring to was more that, if you wanted to measure someone's musical ability, you can look at the hours they practiced as something that correlates. Which is w…

Cool, but I don't know how this applies to things that aren't as measurable as musical ability. What about more intangible things like creative or critical thinking? Also, the viol…

I don't think the application of this technology would be the way it is on this page: likely it would detect your face and then set the text accordingly, and then leave it alone. A…

there are a few reasons I can think of to use tiny type. For one, designers who are used to print might not understand that things should be bigger on the web, because you generall…
