URL ABC
After reading David Airey’s blog post about his URL ABC, I decided to make a list of my own. I typed a letter in my browser’s address bar and made a list of the first URL of the typed letter that appears.
A: allrecipes.co.uk At this website, just list the ingredients that you have in your kitchen and you get a few recipes!
B: bronzeage.co.uk This is the static version of the website – I am still working on the final version to go live soon!
C: culturepicture.com My colleague’s MA final project at St Martins in London.
D: downloadfestival.co.uk I am a big fan of this annual festival in the UK – I try to stay on top of the news and line up…
E: ebay.co.uk One of those things…
F: facebook.com Also one of those things…
G: gumtree.co.uk Received a message from @cyberdees to have a look at the new design – very nice indeed!
H: hsbc.co.uk Need to keep an eye on things.
I: istockphoto.com To buy reasonable priced royalty-free stock photography, vector illustrations, stock video footage, audio tracks and Flash files.
J: justincline.com Graphic and web designer from Denver, Colorado. I really like his website and his work.
K: kreestal.fr I have always wanted to speak French, but for now I just look at the illustrations.
L: linkedin.com My Linkedin profile.
M: michaelkelleyphotos.com A photographer from Los Angeles with a great website and photograpy with a twist.

U: usabilitypost.com Interesting articles about good design practices.
V: very.co.uk An online department store – I now and again find a gem here.

This was a nice recap of the pages I have been browsing lately.
Perhaps I should start a round of graphic design tennis…
