[AccessD] Good Interface Examples

I am red-green deficient myself.  One of the worst combinations for me on
web sites is red on blue or blue on red!  I have to select the text to read
it - lol.  Also a dark red on black is hard for me to see.

Oh, okay.  Personally I like to stick to black and white, as often as
possible.  Literally.  I use black backgrounds with white text.  I just
think it sticks out better then black on white.  However, something to keep
in mind, color is nice, however, a large portion of the population is color
blind to a certain extent.  Always be sure that places where color is used,
and differentiating things of different color is important, to use colors
that 'clash' spectrally, so even if someone is seeing it as shades of grey
(a severe color blind person), they would still see the difference.
 
That's my only tip......

We're about to start designing the interface for a data mining application.
My team hasn't had any formal training on interface design, and I didn't
want them to get all their ideas from me - better if they have a range of
examples! So we're having a couple of workshops where we discuss design
principles before we start doing the spec. This application will take a few
weeks to write and, if we get it right, be in use for 2-3 years so it's
worth putting some thought into.

What kind of 'interface' are you looking for?

Hi all 

Does anybody remember a looong time ago we had a discussion about interface
design, and someone was hosting a gallery of different interfaces that had
been done with Access?

Does anybody know if it's still there, where it was, and whether there are
any other good resources out there? 

TIA 

Roz
