What Designers do for Fun

This morning's surfing landed me at the Designologue. Officially,

A designologue is a conversation between two designers in the medium they understand best - design. Comparisons can be made to Coudal's Photoshop Tennis where two designers alternately modify the others image using Photoshop.

But instead of one designer versus another, the two converse. No winners. No losers. Just good conversation.

and the cool part is that the conversation is public, so those of us who wish we knew how to do such things can participate vicariously.

Select a DSNLG (yes, much shorter) to view (I liked this one), either by clicking a thumbnail (what is it about a slice of an image that is so appealing? it's a great shape for thumbnails in this case) or selecting from the drop-down on the front page. Now you can follow the progression of images and the commentary that goes along with them. It's a very attractive interface, and I suspect it was a lot of fun to code :-)

This would have been enough fun all by itself, but from here I discovered Threadless. There is simply no reason to ever wear a lame t-shirt again. I want this one!

Now I have to go find out what Coudal Photoshop Tennis is. The Coudal Partners Fresh Signals feed is already in my FeedDemon list....
