Yes, the gallery depends on creative folks such as you
sending me your ideas!
The sorts of things I'm looking for are:
- Programs with user interface features you particularly like. Send: a screen shot and a brief
description of the feature and why you like it.
- Fanciful interface ideas, even if they're completely off-the-wall or impossible to implement.
Send: sketches, screen shot mock-ups, concise descriptions.
- Programming tools that present code in nice ways -- design tools, IDEs, code browsers,
particularly nice syntax coloring...whatever. Send: screen shots, names of products, links
to products' sites.
- Philosophies of interface design. Send: treatises, links, book references.
- Examples of particularly excellent graphic design or presentation of highly structured information.
Send: scans/screen shots where possible, links to sites, references to books or articles.
In all these cases, it's by far the best to send a concrete image for people to look at. Descriptions
and references are great, but in this case, a picture is far more effective. If you can't produce an
actual image of the thing you're submitting in action, do a sketch by hand and scan it in. Even this will
do wonders to help communicate your idea on the site.
I look forward to your submissions!
