DefineDesign
DefineDesign is a point of confluence of design ideas. Information design, graphic design, interface design and interaction design have a strong overlap of interest and expertise. Architecture, urban planning and environmental design have traditionally overlapped. With the integration of computers and technology into the manual areas of design, such as architecture and illustration, multiple fields of design are drawing closer together. This is not a proposal for interface designers to design high rise towers, or for architects to become graphic designers. But with technology, there is a convergence. DefineDeisgn is an exploration of how the varied array of design professions can informa each other in the examination and application of design issues, visual communication and visual thinking. DefineDesign newsletter offers regular updates on current design articles, thoughts and issues.

WPClipart
Collection of Public Domain clipart optimized for use with word processors (hence WP Clipart), at first was created specifically with AbiWord in mind. All images are non-transparent PNGs which print and scale beautifully in AbiWord (which has printing problems with other formats) They work great in OpenOffice and other document software as well.
Image sizes are scaled for reasonable document use and color/contrast is tested and adjusted for use in common inkjet printers. Collection is constantly updated -- browsable and searchable thumbnails are maintained on wpclipart.com while the downloadable packages (a Windows installer and bz2-compressed version for Linux) are up on ibiblio. These packages include a viewer/editor that is useful (but NOT necessary) to easily view and edit images in the collection.
