The Super Large Giant Print Bible, that can be read by orbiting planets

So I was hanging out in the Dusty Book Shelf this weekend with Matt, and he came across this bible, appropriately named The Super Giant Print Bible. Its hard to tell from the photos, but let me assure the people living in the space station can read this bible, not to mention when you read it, it feels like God is screaming at you the whole time. I mean it is the biggest type in a book I have ever seen, and there are almost no margins, which I think makes it almost more difficult to read. Anyway there is a photo of The Super Giant Print Bible, next to a normal sized print bible for size comparison. I got a kick out of it, so...

It's creepy and cool at the same time!

Browsing

I found my old deviantart page from when I was in High School and I was looking through my favorite artists back then and I found this girl. I thought it was fun, so I'm going to post a few of her things. She's 21 year old artist from Illinois.. Her Deviant name is Nekofoot, but I don't know her real name...

Designing Interfaces

.Each point where a user must decide where to go should be labeled appropriately

.cancel buttons should be located in typical places: botton, upper left, ect.

.make sure the user doesn't have to go through multi levels of sub pages to get to the message.

.follow the 80/20 rule : which is 80% should be locatable by one click from the home page.

.most modern desktops are built around a single main window, often tabbed or tiled, with assorted tool bars and panes around it. don't use separate windows for things.

.Clear entry points, hub and spoke and pyramid.

.animated transitions help keep user interested.

.always have an escape hatch

.google does a really good job of focusing the home page and directing the user.

.about, contact, privacy policy, ect should be smaller and at the bottom of the page

.first devise an organization structure for the web page

.hub and spoke models are good for small screened mobile devises

.using restricted navigation allows designer control and its simpler and cheaper to make

.be sure to have next, back and home buttons, people expect them.

.though this method can be too restricting at times

.one-window drill down
.reduces the number of clicks and it takes to get around. improves navigation efficiency.

.back, next, and home buttons don't need to say just that, they can be actual names of the pages.

.use color to identify what parts belong to what.
