UI Design Palettes for Illustrator →
cameronmoll:
If you prototype in Illustrator, consider downloading this framework. Includes GUI elements, interface icons, and buttons styles, all of which can be dropped into your artwork and customized as needed.
/via Zeldman
great find, files are imported in via the symbols panel, and contains a huge range of vectored UI elements. A lifesaver, to be sure.

Pride and Prefixes
So the latest design wank that everyone is on lately is creating images using css3 only.
It’s like the introduction of rounded corners and gradients has burst a vein in everyone’s minds and they suddenly have to start spending their time creating images in css3 to try and land some pageviews. The Opera Logo was great, but everything else is just a rehashed party trick.
We get it....

LiveView for iPhone →
Useful tool which broadcasts a selection of your screen to an iphone app - great for designers looking to get pixel perfect previews of their work. The iphone client also accepts touches as clicks (if enabled) so this makes a great tool to preview some quick and dirty prototypes or experience demos.
Both apps are by Nicholas Zambetti and available free of charge.

Organ Theme for Tumblr →
cameronmoll:
From its creator, Simurai:
Well, it’s more a CSS experiment that doesn’t use any JavaScript for the animation. Make sure you test it in Safari/Chrome. You can use this theme on your own tumblr blog, but keep its limitations in mind and at the moment it only supports picture posts.
Design + interactivity = +1
Slowly but surely I’m starting to feel left behind as a...
