Size Matters: Methodologie Web Canvas

Methodologie is kind enough to share their ‘Web Canvas’ with all of us in the design community. Their Web Canvas is a grid that displays screen resolutions and the percentage of users that are capable of viewing the different screen resolutions. Their statistics are fresh (August, 2009) and based on numbers from http://thecounter.com and http://marketshare.hitslink.com

I’ve added this little gem to my delicious bookmarks, and I think it’ll be a helpful little tool. All of this info and our own design experiences seem to support the notion that in many cases size matters ;-)

Veer: Ideas: The Skinny

Kickoff

Enter creative contests at Veer, win $50,000 in prizes

Starting today, we’re giving away $50,000 in prizes to winners of daily and weekly creative contests. Why? Because we like you that much.

Monday through Thursday, you can enter daily contests announced on our Twitter account VeerUpdate. Fridays, you can enter week-long contests announced here on The Skinny.

Every daily and weekly contest will have 5 winners (chosen by Veer’s creative team) who will receive one-month subscriptions to Veer Marketplace worth US$199 each. Each subscription gives you 60 credits per week, for 4 weeks, to spend on images.

That’s $1000 in prizes every weekday, for almost two months!

Then, on October 30th, we’ll post a final contest, for a grand prize package worth $8000:

  • Apple® 17” MacBook Pro
  • Adobe® Creative Suite® 4
  • 1,000 Veer Marketplace credits
  • Jukebox type collection (122 fonts)
  • Type Tray laptop cushion
  • Kern Zip-up
How hard you play in the daily, weekly, and grand prize contests is up to you. Knowing how talented our audience is, competition should be fierce and fun!

Visit the contest page for more information, rules, and regulations.
