I’m a long-time subscriber to Smashing Magazine’s super cool design blog RSS feed. It is probably the king of “top lists” when it comes to design hints, resources, and practices. And the quality is superb. You can tell that they really have an eye for design, and not just a bunch of geeks who decided to run a design blog.
Partly out of gratitude for their great resource, and partly because I think it looks like a great book, I recently ordered their Smashing Book.
Back in 2001, I created this wallpaper image to test monitor color and scan-line accuracy. Although more useful with CRT monitors, I suppose it may have some value to those who are trying to diagnose any kind of display problem.

On January 1, 2009, 3ABN is launching a new 24-hour channel for children called the SonBeam Channel. Initially it will be available only to those with the MOIPTV and MOPCWeb systems. One of the tasks assigned to my department was creating a logo for this channel.
Goals of the design included making it unique, appealing to kids, cheery, bright, fun, and easy to animate. We also strove for simplicity and contemporary colors and shapes.
If you were in downtown Chicago in the last two weeks, you may have seen 3ABN ads for Ten Commandments Weekend. We had them on the tops of taxis and on the backs of buses. The photo below shows what the taxi ads looked like.
