A really cool Status Board for the Panic Software Company

Panic is a mac software house. Creators of Transmit and Coda, well known tools for mac web developers. Their apps are great, but what really sets them apart is their User interface design.

A few days ago they previewed a picture of a internal Status Board. Gorgeous stuff, like you would expect. You can see e-mail queues, tweets from the employees, a calendar, revenue figures,project status, employees assigned to each project, etc.

Really nice information wrapped in a great visual design.

This is result of a colaboration of a German and a Swiss product designer. It’s called ‘mischlichtRGB’ and it’s a nice representation of the RGB additive color model in the shape and function of a ceiling lamp. More info and photos here.

How to get your message through loud and clear

There are occasions when you really need to put a great effort to deliver your message (on the internet we know how difficult it is with all the “noise” that surrounds us). This is a great example of this type of problem and it’s solution. I don’t know about the efficiency of the purpose of the message, but I’ve no doubt that it was transmitted in a clear, concise and fool proof way. Original here.
