New Corbis.com Launched!
June 2, 2009

For the past two years I’ve been involved in a huge project that was immensely greater than any project I’ve ever worked on. All my other projects have been like the small hills of the Smoky Mountains, while this project has been my Mt. Everest. It has to be the most complex javascript website I’ve ever worked on too.

I was looking for an ajax tooltip the other day, and I happened to find one that was actually pretty good. The tooltip itself is called “Bubble Tooltip“. This is very similar to the netflix tooltip.

What makes it easy is that you use basically one image for the background of the tooltip. If you want a fancy tooltip such as their example, you need to make the image a PNG to have the best transparency. You then write some basic css for the top and bottom of the tooltip.

Even though this is a pretty impressive ajax tooltip, I think I could do something similar with Prototype. I’ll try to write a new ajax tooltip script that utilizes Prototype since that is what I’ve been using mostly when I write ajax script.

Not necessarily as nice as Osprey Designs Foreword, but worth taking a look at. Decent amount of articles and book reviews - some on design and others on the book itself.

I found a great website on book design called Foreword by a company called Osprey Design. What I like about this site is that they post their thoughts on the publishing industry as well as thoughts on current book cover designs.
