Need to create a flowchart for the features of your app, draw.io is simple and lets you save to google drive, dropbox or disk. Flowcharts, org charts, wireframes, UML, mind maps and more.

Check out the attached full screenshot, some great designs for a WYSIWYG editor.

Working designs of the Grid platform. A collection of pictures of what is currently being developed by the team.

Think it's neat when design company's show off their Case Study's like this.

When working on design projects we're not developing we'll supply detailed documentation for the developers covering the various interactions and animations along with creating them in CSS as a reference. You can have a play with the menu here: http://simpleasmilk.com/case-studies/zipery/#animations

When Adobe Illustrator first shipped in 1987, it was the first software application for a young company that had, until then, focused solely on Adobe PostScript. The new product not only altered Adobe’s course, it changed drawing and graphic design forever. Watch the Illustrator story unfold, from its beginning as Adobe’s first software product, to its role in the digital publishing revolution, to becoming an essential tool for designers worldwide. Interviews include cofounder John Warnock, his wife Marva, artists and designers Ron Chan, Bert Monroy, Dylan Roscover and Jessica Hische.

Origami is a free toolkit for Quartz Composer—created by the Facebook Design team—that makes interactive design prototyping easy and doesn’t require programming.

Pretty neat to see why some of the features in Facebook Home work the way they do. I really like a lot of the stuff here, if I could run it on my iphone I'd try it out for a while.

On May 8th, the designers behind Facebook Home (Justin Stahl, Francis Luu, Joey Flynn and Mac Tyler) presented a behind-the-scenes look at their work at the Bluxome Street Winery for a small crowd. In this four-part talk, they discuss how they combined their high-level goals with an iterative process and interactive design tools such as Quartz Composer to bring the first version of Home to launch.

Awwwards is a great place to get inspiration from some of the best designed websites around the web. Anyone can submit a website and the community votes on the best one of the day/month. "Our mission is to discover, recognize and promote the talent and effort of web designers, developers and agencies who create unique digital experiences that are useful, innovative, intuitive and beautiful."

UI Kit for designers featuring the flat design trend. Use to create startup projects, websites or iOS apps. Includes Buttons, Text Edits, Menu items, video players, and other pieces. The color scheme, is separated in styles (.asl) and color swatches (.aco). Ready for Retina Display. Text elements use the Montserrat typeface, and this great font available free from Google Web Fonts.

This presentation from Bret Victor is by far the best conference talk I've heard in a long time. Bret invents tools that enable people to understand and create. He has designed experimental UI concepts at Apple, interactive data graphics for Al Gore's book (Our Choice), and musical instruments at Alesis. Bret's talk is on principles, but for many developers what’s really awesome are the software development tools he demos.

This talk was given at the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference CUSEC 2012. For more on Bret, see worrydream.com.

An intelligent search-based approach to finding and accessing menu items you need. HUD is capable of remembering what items you use most often and prioritizing them in the results. It's a lot like app launchers such as GNOME Do or my recent favorite Synapse, but is more context aware as all the commands in the current application's menus are included.

The video below shows HUD in action, and demos many of its unique features. Check out Mark Shuttleworth's blog post for more details.

This is a short film by MAYA Design about architecture in its broadest sense. You can read more about it on maya.com. This film is a companion piece to their film What is Information.

This video straight out of the future is both a reflection on what it means to be creative, and one hell of a dream phone concept. Simply named 'Flip' it's got three flexible AMOLED touchscreens, a keyboard on the reverse, and a custom version of Android. The unique design yields some neat features; rotate through twitter, fold-over for multi-user video viewing, video-on-top/comments-below.

The designer is Kristian Larsen. Check out some of the design pics at YankoDesign.com.

Imagine the situation that you are in the modern metropolis, where you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not comfortable situation, because in the modern, aggressive cities there are no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep, while waiting your plane or train, it may cause many security and hygiene problems. We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable for people. For this purpose we have developed a device SLEEPBOX. It provides moments of quiet sleep and rest from the city without wasting time searching for a hotel. Here are the possible locations for SLEEPBOX: - Railroad stations - Airports - Expocentres - Public and shopping centers - Accommodation facilities In countries with warm climate SLEEPBOX can be used on the streets. Thanks to SLEEPBOX any person has an opportunity to spend the night safely and cheaply in case of emergency, or when you have to spend few hours with your baggage. SLEEPBOX is a small mobile space (box) 2mx1.4mx2.3m (h). The main functional element in it is a bed 2x0.6 m., which is equipped with automatic system of change of bed linen. Bed is soft, flexible strip of foamed polymer with the surface of the pulp tissue. Tape is rewound from one shaft to another, changing the bed. If a client wants to sleep in maximum comfort, he can take the normal set of bed linen for an extra fee. SLEEPBOX is equipped with a ventilation system, sound alerts, built-in LCD TV, WiFi, sockets for a laptop, charging phones. Also under the lounges is a place for luggage. After the clients exit, automatic change of bed linen starts and quartz lamps turns on. Payment can be made on a shared terminal, which provides the client with an electronic key. It is possible to buy from 15 minutes to several hours. SLEEPBOX is intended primarily to perform one main function - to enable a person to sleep peacefully. But it can also be equipped with various additional functions, depending on the situation. Application of the device can be very broad, not only in the form of paid public service, but also for internal purposes of organizations and companies.

"• Design faster wireframes and create better mockup deliverables in Illustrator. • Design usable application interface with hundreds of common GUI elements : just drop them from Illustrator Panels or pick them in the library files. • Customize easily the vectors GUI elements to your own needs : you can easily resize, color or tweak their appearance. • Benefit from a consistent UI elements library made by a web designer expert in application interface design."

The Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) has launched interactive murals to inspire Americans to book a Canadian vacation. These murals have taken over the streets of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles this summer - pulling content from Twitter to display real-time updates from and about Canada.

The digital storescapes celebrate the CTC's comprehensive social media strategy, and follow its 2009 Marketer of the Year award from Marketing Magazine.
