I am not a designer. But I like design and often wish I was, hence the creation of endemicworld.com and making some noise about nz design and nz designers.

I read about it, use it and our business is driven by it.

There are a billion trillion links to great design I could share but this presentation about web 2.0 is a start. Interesting to read whether you’re a web designer, a web user, or want to “ready steady learn” something in your lunch break today.

If you’re in New Zealand and want to meet and talk design check out Design Assembly - “Conversations on Graphic Design”. This is a niche event for those who work in the design business and want to help build a knowledgeable and information sharing community.

The internet never stops to impress us. If you havn’t downloaded the new Firefox 3.0 browser then do it now. After that, install the piclens add-on. You can do all this in about five minutes with easy to follow prompts.

Piclens is a great new add-on that allows you to search the web visually. There are a couple of basic search functions and the results are a never ending display of images and video. You can zoom in and out, watch the video’s (pulled from youtube) and scroll along (second image).

Commandshift3 is a website where you vote for your favourite website based on design only. Two sites appear on your screen as snapshots, you simply click on the one you like the most, two more are shown, you vote again, and it goes on forever. They call it a battle.

Whether you need some inspiration for your next site, or just want to see the best and worst as voted by visitors, or just pass 5 minutes. We submitted endemicworld.com about 4 months ago. There were about 5000 sites back then. Now there are over 13000.

So to brag just a little, we think our site rules, and so do the users on commmandshift3. They even think its #5 in New Zealand. So check it out, if our site goes into battle with another….you know who to vote for.

endemicworld.com was designed by Studio Alexander. They rule, thanks SA.
