I shepard the UI of a web app. I inherited an app with a lot of data-overload, and I often argue to leave less important data points out and condense what is left. It’s all about strategic weeding and obvious signage. Therefore, I’m creating a set of icons this week. I seek icon inspiration.
While searching for this link that bug read on one of his RSS feeds, I also stumbled onto GUIdebook, which is a well-ordered museum of past and present GUI OSes. It includes screen shots, icons, sounds and splash screens, arranged so a reader can view the evolution of a particular OS or compare different ones.
