    AIGA redesign

    Wow, Happy Cog has been getting it done the last few months, huh? Most recently, they’ve redesigned the site for the American Institute of Graphic Arts, which is about as prestigious a client as you can get, if you’re a designer. Jason Santa Maria is responsible for the graphic design, Dan Cederholm took care of the markup and CSS, and Zeldman was the creative director.

    I feel like this move could start to help AIGA have more cachet within the web design community. They’re a great body, but they’ve always come off as not particularly interested in the web — this move shows that view may be changing.

    swfIR: swf Image Replacement

    Dan Mall, Mark Huot, and Jon Aldinger from Happy Cog give you swfIR, a handy way of easily applying effects to images in your markup, including drop shadows, rounded corners, and rotation. I’ve been using a beta version for a week or so, and it’s very slick. Although all the effects work well, I’m especially fond of the rotation, as I know of absolutely no other way to rotate an image inline. This would be another nice example of Flash and web standards playing nice, side-by-side. Well done, guys.

    Jason Santa Maria: Happy Cog Redesign

    Jason, Dan, and the rest of the Cogs redesign the site for the Zeldman-run studio. Jason writes about the process. Predictably, some jackass insists upon berating them publicly over a single minor validation error (which has since been fixed) instead of focusing on the clever navigation, the great painting by Kevin Cornell, the well-written copy, and the lovely CSS typography. People seriously need a get a life, man.

    graphicPUSH - KC Chiefs’ Tragic Online Fumble

    Kevin Potts on the Chiefs new site: “The Kansas City Chiefs have traded in their Happy Cog-designed site for a terrible redesign from VML that uses tables for layout, Flash for content and RealPlayer for video. It’s a giant step backward for the Chiefs.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
