I Heart Good Typography

I'm starting to see a slow resurgence and understanding in the value of good typography these days. Surprisingly, it's online. There was a time when online designers did not know how to apply leading and kerning to the web however it's starting to slowly change.

Hacking transparent PNG support into IE6

IE6's lack of transparent PNG support is appalling, but Microsoft does offer a proprietary fix for the same problem: CSS behaviors, which are a non-standard extension to the CSS spec.

NBJ Homepage Mockup

Hey Everyone, here's a quick overview of the NBJ (Nutrition Business Journal) project thus far. I've included moodboards created by Jennie and me. I've also included an artifact (post-it notes on a board) from the content organizing process for the redesign. Crits are welcome.

/// UPDATES ///
Followed Terry's suggestion of making the brown warmer. I also did a little pushing a and pulling with the header of Research Products vs the category headers that sit under it. With the size of "Research Products", there was no need to make it darker than the category headers.
