Blog

UX A Day looks like a nice new blog of resources and tools for UX design folks, curated by Philippe Said. Not a lot of review or commentary, but hopefully will keep us updated with new finds.

protomoto is an excellent showcase of prototyping or wireframing tools created to helps designers find a tool that's suited to the specific devices or platforms they are designing for. The site, developed by Paper & Equator, will be adding more filters in the future as they continue to evolve the resource, so that you can browse the tools based on features. Very cool.

Check out protomoto.

Sergey Chikuyonok's Smashing Magazine article on PNG optimization is an oldie, but I just found myself returning to use it for maybe the 4th time since I originally read it. I don't do web graphics so frequently anymore, so I always return here to get reminded of things like the posterization layer in Photoshop. See also Sergey's JPEG Optimization article.
