A list of interesting articles read in this week. March 1-7, 2009:
- Beautiful Shadow Photography (Courtesy of Smashing Magazine)
- Jakob Nielsen on what it takes to become a usability professional (in 2002). Ten years experience, knowledge of usability methods, and brain power, he says.
- A biography of David Kelley, IDEO’s founder and an inspiration for design thinkers everywhere. IDEO re-invents products from keyboards to shopping carts, but they do a lot more as well. An interesting story behind a company that shows us that design can create social change.
- Charlie Rose with Evan Williams, CEO of Twitter. I spend a lot of afternoons with Charlie, and with Twitter, so this reunion was a match made in heaven.
- 51 Creative Business Cards. I better come up with something this slick. I figure my last name gives me a lot of creative space.
