Sites of the Week

Sites that caught my eye in css galleries over the past week, now with brief overviews of why I like them. Clicking the screenshots will take you to the entire sites.

C-Ville is a Colorado based initiative to get youths to avoid smoking. The site features an excellent use of flash and xhtml. An amazing combination and great purpose.

October is the official “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”, and as part of this awareness campaign, many sites go pink for the month. Derek at 5thirtyone updated his site with a white / grey / pink design, and released it publicly as a wordpress theme. An excellent way to get the word out.

Apples to Oranges. Clean, crisp design. Explains itself.

Design: Using Photoshop CS2 to Create Hi-Res HDR Images
An excellent tutorial on using Photoshop CS2 to create HDR images. Go through every step along with pictures so you can see what you’re doing. My design pick for the week.

Programming: The Difference Between Programmers and Developers
An article that talks about the differences between programmers and developers. A nice read that helps distinguish things between the two.
