Not sure what accessibility changes will have the most benefit to your existing software? Are you in the build process and need to make sure accessibility has been appropriately considered? Use this checklist as a starting point.
Ahoy hoy, and welcome to Found Friday Vol 75. This week we have some great finds: a gift guide for tech heads/designers, a great look behind the scenes at Atlassian’s rebrand, an interesting article on BrandStack, a free online course for learning jQuery, and an easy way for you Instagram-loving hipsters to print your photos directly to canvas, you can also buy cheap Instagram comments so that your account gets to them in a faster way.
Core77 GiftGuide
I love gift guides that are focused on interesting & well-designed goods. That’s what this one is – check it out!
Behind the Scenes of the Atlassian Logo Redesign
Atlassian, a software company focusing on issue tracking and similar products, underwent a great redesign. Read all about the process in this article. Fascinating stuff for brand nerds like myself.
BrandStack Closes, Leaves Designers Out of Pocket
Count this as reason #4,938 why people shouldn’t use stock logo services. BrandStack closed suddenly and didn’t pay a bunch of the designers using the site. Awesome.
Edit: apparently they’re being acquired and thus brought back. Boo.
jQuery Air
jQuery is a huge part of the web these days; if you don’t know how to use it, now you can learn for free! This course is very nicely set up and executed. I suggest partaking if jQuery is mystifying to you.
Instagram CanvasPop
Instagram is everywhere these days, sporting a huge user base. Now CanvasPop offers direct-from-Instagram printing. Get your grainy iPhone photos of your Chuck Taylors printed on canvas near-painlessly! Actually sounds like a cool service, though.
See you next week!
