The document is a presentation by Dan Rubin about mastering details in interface design. It discusses creating patterns for margins, padding, borders and text sizes to establish consistency and balance. It also covers using grids, relative text sizes, subtle textures, lines/gradients and layer styles to refine designs. Examples of major websites are shown to illustrate design principles. The overall message is that paying close attention to details improves the usability and feel of an interface.
Design and the Art of Freelancing - AWDG April 2009Dan Rubin
A talk I gave in April 2009, tailored for the Atlanta Web Design Group — after the talk, I added some slides to the "business" section as that was discussion-only at the event, and I wanted to make sure there were some slides to hit some of the main points we talked about.

Inspiration from The Edge: New Patterns for Interface DesignStephen Anderson
(My presentation from the IA Summit 2008)
Want a fresh perspective on UI design? Look around. Not at other web sites or desktop applications but at other interactive media. Tivo, the iPhone, the Wii software interface, the ‘Sugar’ OS for the XO Laptop… there’s a world of new UI inspiration that is already being proven out in other devices.

This presentation is part of Switch: LIberate Your Brand's 10/20/30 lunch presentation series given by employees, for employees. 10 slides, 20 employees, 30 minutes (and lunch!).
TOPIC: Responsive Web Design
Responsive web design is changing the definition of a “page,” as it aims to address the growing variety of devices and locations where content is consumed. No longer will a "pick a standard size" method of designing work for the Web. This presentation is an overview of Responsive Design and the possible implications of this type of design on our visual to digital workflow.
Presenter: Kristen Gau
Kristen has an exceptional ability to capture and communicate complex messages through art direction and design. In her almost 10 years with Switch, she has produced captivating print and outdoor executions, display graphics, speaker support and digital design for clients such as Anheuser-Busch, Elsevier, Coca-Cola, Glaceau, Enterprise, Ascension Health and Major Brands. She also provides creative direction for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri and oversees the visual identity of the agency brand.
While attending the SXSW Interactive Festival in the spring of 2012, she had the opportunity to attend multiple sessions that discussed Responsive Design and how it is helping shape the evolving Web. Not long after SXSW, she had the opportunity to put her newfound perspective to good use designing a responsive website to accompany Switch's first ever app design project for one of our clients.

Trends are not always a showcase of what is best, but it show what is happening in the world. Design simplicity is for sure one of the most important trend this year. These days we are all waiting for the final version of the IOS7 to see how Apple manage to leave behind skeuomorphism to enter to the flat world(yes, flat design is the new web 2.0). But what is great to see is that “content first” is the most important trend. And is great because with that comes another important topics, like accessibility and usability, so is clear the designers are pushing forward to user centered design.
Starting in 2005 when returning from SXSWi a coworker and I would put together a trends presentation talking about up-and-coming technologies, patterns, websites, etc... and 2008 is no different. The presentations keep getting longer and longer, as innovation keeps building on the previous year, moving faster and faster. This year my co-presenter was Dustin Askins of Travelocity, and we gave the presentation internally to our UX groups, and just this week at the Dallas UPA Chapter.

The real world is rarely flat and devoid of texture, yet our virtual designs often do little to mirror what lies beyond the monitor. Tasteful use of lighting, shadows, gradients, and more traditional arts such as photography, oil, water color, pencil and charcoal can help us mimic the world around us. Learn to use and create realistic textures and media, and make your designs leap off the screen.
