5 of the Best New User Experiences of 2010

http://mashable.com/2010/11/28/best-ux-ui/

I saw this on a friends posting on Face Book and is a useful reference for ui thinking and approach.

If I can highlight two products.

This is a great new website / product offering that makes finding a flight much easier. I love the fact that that they have re-approached this area. This strikes me once again that design is simply a subject of questions and answers and the better the designer the better his or shes ability to ask different and better questions about the same old problems. This ability divides us from them.

Also, I love that the designer focuses on quality of product at the end of the interview. If you are looking for a string to tie a design team together this is a good one!


This is a Flip board app and I believe is just the tip of a much bigger iceberg. I love the way this product is a symbol of the customisable culture that apple struck upon with the app store and iPhone.

Channel 4 spots - Rudd Studio

"There are few greater challenges in brand design than taking an iconic, well-loved, universally recognised brand... and making it better. Channel 4 approached us with this task. It was to be a thorough revamp, across the entire channel and in its corporate activities. We took the essence of the ‘4’ and reworked it to allow for a more flexible, more fluid branding. We used the contrast between the ‘filled’ and ‘unfilled’ spaces in the four to give it depth and greater narrative capacity."

SuperStupidBros - Stunning artwork




SuperStupidBros is a small Berlin- based design studio. The business, set up by two brothers, works exclusively with close friends and designers. Like in a band, there are no employees but rather members, who know each others flaws and flavors. Work should be fun and most of all work has to rock.
