[thelist] Design Help

you more interested in GUI or design resources?  while they often 
go hand in hand, some design results in fabulously poor GUIs... 
the opposite can also be true...

for UI-related stuff, i like to send people to http://iarchitect.com/ to 
look through the hall of shame... it's mostly for app developers, but 
web pages are interactive, and require similar thought...

as for design, well, i just like to go to the bookstore and look 
through design annuals... there's also that book by Robin Williams 
that i've shown some friends,  "The Non-Designer's Design Book : 
Design and Typographic Principles for the Visual Novice" (ISBN: 
1566091594)... it doesn't make you a good designer, but it does 
help you understand why your current designs may suck... and 
that's the first step to designing better stuff...
