MessageDrew,
I don't care for white on black. Your site isn't too bad because there isn't
much to read (and I like the wolf logo) but more than a paragraph or so and
the eye strain gets pretty heavy.

To be positive though, it is better than red on black, which I have seen on
at least one web site! Yeeoucch! Talk about eye strain!

  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
