Lulu Book Publishing

If you are ever considering publishing a book, you should check out Lulu.com. I haven’t used it myself, but have a friend that has used it, and have heard good things. Plus, any company that cares this much about design must be doing something right, right?

I don’t agree with Al Gore’s theory’s about the climate, but I dig the new Climate Reality web site design. Simple layout, with a basic color palette. It really works well.

Pei Wei Does Red Like Nobody Else

Posted by Chris Tingom on January 27, 2011 at 5:45 pm.

Of all of the sites I’ve seen, the folks at Pei Wei do it best with red. The red of course is from their branding, but they carry it into the stores with bright red floors (they must wax them).

I just love their site layout – the typography and bright colors from the photography contrast very well with the white content, and black boxes. Nice job! Related: Screenshot from 2008.
