That’s the challenge of Type Jam, a fledgeling type-themed event held for the first time in September. Ulrik Hogrebe talks to one of the founders about the experience, and lessons learned. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=3btbh5twciskbbsdi428mlbmtc4n5fqwll8oamettub0iakr9fn57qkdha9vhp1fmaqvasgwuk3xvf24gy3h7fjw6fwex4yvnxq7uwdrq4eap9l2eywij6ffzbzl164d59l47rddnmgohkei1ixge876vty0tglerl0kzwdxj89h2b3xkvwj2tbwo17pf2s2tpwt412x5&xi=none@none.hu Should Buttons Have a Hand Cursor?: Conventional wisdom says that a button is clickable, so it should have a hand cursor just like a link. But a select input is clickable too, and that only has a pointer. Adam Silver’s controversial challenge to hand cursors on buttons has divided UI designers this week. Which side of the argument do you stand on? http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=36qcvfv1i7p9toxksh3zp132zftjwqlieikzhluq0c60hbv0sey0g2hc8nrolc87lron7cu9v2aqzgahqyldqdn7l5afx4j6v4pwls4mkv52m81qw943zpwyxazuavwf343n9vohesdxkxalmgaeudg06bgztcprun14pba&xi=none@none.hu eBay Goes Monotone: We’re all familiar with eBay’s multicolor logo, their wordmark has been synonymous with online auctions for two decades. Now however, it’s a thing of the past with the site adopting a monotone approach; there’s still plenty of color variety with cool modern shades, but they’ll be applied more sparingly from now on. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=qrai2s5twumr4wtyenvmylgotvyjr2g09iz2wgkwem1p0e7x83uq1thnqf4bclsyequht45vme52sm6lpudr77acabs2jhantequdaew386igt056rzzgk6ei9extyfpfm5mtz1d88ruwum0pj9eh9yf328k1xzb0ceax8xkvogvi22lnofgdn9emmv6pqtiykfnivjbigdrwkbgz2b9k&xi=none@none.hu 3 Essential Design Trends: Each month we chart 3 essential trends that are dominating the web design scene, and will be huge over the coming weeks. This month we look at underlined text and elements, obstructed text, and the black and white aesthetic. Grab some inspiration, or simply appreciate some excellent design. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=111qlol0golzkblar4poiwr6sfe9e36fn4mepff74t1si5ad8pdrz94nbs7bwuy7vb99i4eaqr5qc2ykz6i9rgkl1o2fidd4u87gtub1hftf6bt2kj1z6yin92vsx6d5nvpdnz9aaahey6rq0j5s3kv1n17tyitp985eevnne87v54nj1gvmni0zb3riv52ifhggy3lx5sbdtb&xi=none@none.hu Google Fonts With Fontbase: Fontbase is a completely free font management application, with a beautiful GUI, and a host of professional features, that works on Mac and Windows.

How about AR? How about if we throw MR into the mix, still on solid ground? XR is eXtended Reality, VR is Virtual Reality, AR is Augmented Reality, and MR is Mixed Reality. This must-read primer for designers explains the differences, and where the technologies overlap each other. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1cygoiwk1xike04xpuzxmasfi2xqr542wsplom43icau9wcmlofb5fiof8jjias14phj4urv4uado8b8ef8pgfttjguk7a8j8vlikbnoj77mb8wmbus6g2jop79fp901vf605wevs9z1supvtb3vf98mg2iack6pb1fv82ml4wfr2wc5bn&xi=none@none.hu Are We Addicted to Technology?: For years, UX designers have been building compulsive, habit-forming cues into products; that’s great for a company’s bottom line, but not so great for a customer’s well-being. In this short article, Maya Frai argues that a designer’s job is to craft experiences that aim for social good, instead of exploiting individual’s weaknesses. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=tpz01p65uf2x7tf1a17zpk9v1psd6rf512zydtuqcpt1v97awpy9wfew6jzpt75qvst4obwqg7pweta8daok5pw5068gyy0kfcnuuvs7rs0peb9qqwz7zaq3g70zdvtrz5skjxiswfsd1wmwxfbnhyptwhjp2jtocvmxsikacdlbd3t4pb4pby&xi=none@none.hu ========================== Go to WebdesignerDepot.com: http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=9fq7up25z09lw03x30gt3qhmmv0bdf6a729oyknb9fej30qax31onelkeyx9v4kofwemm3jwhlgpyxvyz7bnl04ml5h0dd5yf3ycylo790hlw15buix3hduhyotu5if6&xi=none@none.hu About: http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=5psinfau567a33kfpul60387lfvezuvg3cxx6x29okn1seva99aw2l8bc14hkhphjguc1fp3jwc3vj6z3jl5wjs0vk4q4gk47kc34tbrt17l65rqkl52ry2wqmru1lmgu6wzlogjkxo&xi=none@none.hu Disclaimer: http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=8f356fk1oz7529z97aajwnp7ny4g9c6w9sci7odl82sogl95j2ezqddlkeyq50w7b8g0j5p12gn2hk5mnepl8jd9tih88r47cq6yn3e4lizqrbys4f3l2mjkdk1o3xsjak30alb7axmd2frj108p3idj4lo5kooh8y65m44ibt29s19g&xi=none@none.hu Advertising: advertising@webdesignerdepot.com Deals: http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=5elol2f6exd70yy4eii6xd9ykqakpoiuopv4lxbpctwnnlohfv3r2i7eb160mevvodgoxslvumxydafbafn7mnylytccywqskurmvsso830mb3cez6tbg32w70382jj9yob2nhsvp5ij5tpgbmhr60rsawfw&xi=none@none.hu Contact: info@webdesignerdepot.com Sent to none@none.hu unsubscribe from this list http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xul=edet4a23tdiskfp7r3apmezsfi4dsk5us91vzhvxm1ior9jqvohkpbvlikh1xy5yj9r7x7fiu5f472orfcqpr96xa30u99b&xi=none@none.hu Freestyle Networks Inc.
