We're looking for resources to help design custom application icons
for a consumer product. Does anyone on list have individual
contractors or consultancies they have worked with successfully in
the past? For individual contractor names please feel free to respond
to me directly.

Thanks!

question about role of interaction design and human factors

Hello,

I'm confused about interaction design vs people trained in HCI and/or
human factors.

I know sometimes both can be assigned to the same project at the same
time.

Today's New Application for Making Applications...

Bunchball!

"You have an idea for a multi-user networked application. Maybe it’s
a game, maybe it’s a new way to share music or photos, maybe it’s
something nobody’s ever thought of. A beautiful little jewel of an
application, you know that you can make something fantastic.

goowy

Hey there folks.

Just thought I'd share yet another RIA e-mail client. Can't wait for all the
comparison blog entries that are bound to come out soon. 8-)

www.goowy.com

(it is a lot faster if you use the flash 8 beta version but it has some
quirks.)

amazing work that MAYA did in improving the information architecture
(both virtual and physical) of the Carnegie Libraries in Pittsburgh.

You may have read about it on mailing lists or in weblogs:

Libraries in Visio

We are using Visio to create wireframes. One of our
team's designers was formerly using Fireworks to make
wireframes and liked the Libraries capability of
Fireworks.

We have looked a Visio and are using the stencils.
However, stencils don't work like the libraries in
Fireworks. For example, if you update a library
element in fireworks, it updates that element across
all the files.
