Monofactor - Golden Age Eddition

I sincerely apologize. Been almost a month since the last update on the site.

I’ve been so drawn into works coming and I can hardly find time to share my things with you lately.

Well, summer is coming; gotta keep it hard =)

But hey fear not, new stuff coming up within next week.

I’m preparing a new icon set for free release and  finalizing the “How to Become a Professional Designer” article series, and a post about my best 10 font choices.

Thank you very much for not leaving me alone so far =)

Cheers,
Onur

The ninth developer milestone for the popular web browser Firefox has ben released.

Except for the minor css rendering issues, it looks pretty stable; installed on my xp sp2.

Everyone, this is your lucky day. Since I cancelled further drawing of this set of mine as a commercial project, I decided to distribute the first icons for free!.

The loveliest part is, they are in scalable vector format.

You’re encouraged to download and use them. Please read the disclaimer and conditions before download.

In the previous episode, we took a look at the starter tips about being prepared for probable challenging issues.

This time, we have a notepad and we will write down the spotlights of an interactive project skeleton.

Though today we have lots of tools and elements to create a good looking and effective web design, it still doesn’t seem enough if we look at the natural beauty and elegance surrounding our worlds.

This is the main reason creativity never dies, always a new approach can be tried.

Our purposes will be:

1. To better reflect our message and achieve the main goal of the project
2. Express the message / topic with adding visual style to it.
3. Maximize the viewer usability
4. Optimize the reachability

Okay, lets get to the steps:

To me one of the best design schools in the world, Hyper Island’s new program called Interactive Art Director ‘08 gets started.
The program aims to help students explore in-depth disciplines like interaction design, design for future platforms, usability, design strategies, information design and team management.

The program will take 45 weeks and in the final 13 weeks, students will take their work into real world scenario, presenting their achievements.

Beautiful site combined with retro-cartoons by the 4 lead students of the program.
