A transmission from the deep south.
Reblogging myself from a year ago, given the American Airlines rethink was such a hit. Ryan Sims and D. Keith Robinson give IMDb a long-overdue makeover as part of their presentation at Future of Web Design in NYC, November, 2007. Sadly the high-res files appear to have been lost, but the slides and video are still around.
Update: Ryan was kind enough to get in touch with links to the comps from the presentation. Here’s the homepage and the example film listing page. Many thanks, Ryan.
I love URLs. I dream about them at night. I think about them before I think about anything else.

Talented young icon designer Bobby Andersen gives an (unrehearsed) talk at C[4] on how he used Cinema 4D to create the QLab icon. Andersen is responsible for the icon sets on last.fm and tumblr.com among others, and is now employed by Apple.
Most of Webstock’s sessions are now available as MP4 downloads. Unfortunately the thoroughly entertaining hour-and-a-half epic from Damian Conway was not recorded (at the presenter’s request). See him in the flesh if you ever get the chance. Jason Santa Maria’s presentation on the problems with presenting content in a strictly templated environment was a highlight also.
Amazon, please hire these guys to rebuild IMDb. From a presentation entitled Inside the Designers’ Studio, given at the Future of Web Design in NYC, 7-8 November, 2007.
