Graffiti represents an art form that is unrestricted, one that rebels against conventional forms of artwork. Graffiti is intertwined into human history, dating back to the Roman Empires where they were plastered onto walls to make political statements and satirize current events. Modern graffiti achieves many of the same things - to state a message that doesn’t necessarily fit into the norms of society. In this collection, for your inspiration and adoration, we present 40 remarkable graffiti and street artwork. This article follows and adds to an article written last year, entitled Tribute To Graffiti: 50 Beautiful Graffiti Artworks. Remarkable and Creative Graffiti Art ? (please let us know the name of the artists in the comments!)

Happiness, sadness, love, hatred, worries, and indifference - these are things that constantly occur in our daily lives. Today we share with you 40 powerful depictions of the human emotion. In these photos you’ll see celebrations, sadness in defeat, raw anger, and everything else in between that makes us what we are… human. Captivating Photos that Depict Human Emotion Milda

The Future Of Interface Design http://www.ooopx.net/items/view/2745/the-future-of-interface-design

What will interfaces be like in 2020? It’s hard to predict what the future will be made of, but current experiments regularly give us hints of what 2020’s interfaces could look like. Don’t take what you read in this article for granted, but be assured that the future will be a cool place for geeks to live in.

Better and more intuitive devices interaction

The Microsoft Surface video demo created a real buzz on the web, it even got its own hilarious parody. The object is already available for sfale, but I sincerely doubt it will go big with the actual pricing and format. On the other hand, I think that the intuitive interface with object interaction will be used broadly in a near future. Another good example of what can be achieved with sensitive multi-touch interface is the stunning Perceptive Pixels technology. For those of you who are into music, the Audiopad is a great example of the power of interactive multi-touch technology. Everyday devices connected to the Internet

In 2020, there is no doubt that access to the Internet from the television will be very familiar. But what about kitchen devices? Wouldn’t be great to give the ingredients to your oven, then get appropriate available recipes you can cook with these ingredients. A concept for such a kitchen already exists, and there will be even better than this by 2020. Multi-touch, without touching the screen

Remember the movie “Minority report” and the cool screen interface Tom Cruise was working with? You probably thought that you would never see this in action. Well, get ready to have your mind blown by this video demonstration of the Oblong technology, and maybe in 2020 it will be affordable, who knows? Microsoft SideSight is another interesting project that takes the iPhone’s multi-touch one step further. You can use it without touching the screen (demo), which means a cleaner screen. Now let’s see where Microsoft will take this by 2020. Interactive and intuitive user interfaces for better browsing

A few very interesting demos are available on the web to give a glimpse of what the future computers user-interface could look like. One comes from Mozilla Labs and is named Aurora , it’s a concept video showing a lady browsing the web and her everyday Internet experience. It’s arousing to see how they imagined the icons organized into some kind of overlapping clouds. Even better, the way the lady gets her browsing going from one interface to another. Another cool prototype of the future’s interface is the BumpTop 3D Desktop. This interface is inspired by real-world organization of your desktop, allowing to create and organize piles, re-size files and toss them around. The demo is really worth watching. Gesture based interfaces

The Wii-mote by Nintendo was certainly the first step towards gesture-based interfaces, but probably not the last one. Apple seems interested in taking that path too. In fact, they recently patented a new technology that would allow to mix multi-touch with voice, camera and force sensors. This would open a new world of computer-human interaction, making the whole process much more natural. Another prototype has been released recently, it was showcasing a wearable gesture interface . It uses a camera, a projector and colour markers that you wear at the tip of your fingers to let you interact with anything you look at. The project is named SixthSense, and you should definitely take a look at the demo. Interfaces aware of context

In this video, David Merrill demoes the latest technology his team developed. The Siftables are interactive computers the size of a cookie. In the video, you can clearly see how far this could take us by 2020, the devices are aware of other devices and react accordingly. For now, the only examples given are used for gaming or educational purposes, but the technology looks very promising and could definitly influence mobile interface of the future. New materials that will influence UI

Ever dreamt of a folding phone? Well, this could be commonly used in 2020, along with Napkin PC or realistic e-paper. The Napkin PC especially caught my attention since the concept has been created for creative professionals and seems to be perfect for brainstormings. The use of napkin PC as an alternative to printing also amazed me. About the author: Mirko Humbert is a freelance designer from Switzerland.

50 Wonderful, Inspiring Photoblogs http://www.ooopx.net/items/view/2200/50-wonderful-inspiring-photoblogs

A photoblog is a very specific type of blog. Its focus is photography, and there are typically few words beyond a caption and comments. Photoblogs are easy to set up and maintain, and they make great photo galleries for photographers who are put off by the complexity of HTML coding or installing a CMS such as WordPress. It’s because of this simplicity, not to mention the development of free yet sophisticated tools like Pixelpost, that photoblogging has exploded in popularity over the last few years. Photoblogs.org, for example, lists over 32,000 photoblogs! That’s a lot of photos, and a lot of photographers vying for your attention. Dedicated as ever to making your life easier, we’ve handpicked over 50 brilliant photoblogs for your viewing pleasure.

50 Free Rusted Metal Texture Backgrounds http://www.ooopx.net/items/view/2150/50-free-rusted-metal-texture-backgrounds

If you ever heard the phrase ‘you can find inspiration everywhere you look’, then this article is for you. Today we look at rusted metal textures as both an unusual source of inspiration as well as an option for unique backgrounds. Textured backgrounds are a great way to add an extra dimension to any graphic design project. Magazines and printed media can resort to textured paper for added impact however, this is impossible to do on the web, and the closest we can do is adding texture to simulate this effect. We’ve compiled a list of 50 free rust metal texture backgrounds that will really look great on your websites, blogs, Twitter backgrounds or even wallpapers. Most of these are available under a Creative Commons License requiring attribution however, check each source for any specific details.

You have to add a simple textarea like this:<textarea id="editor" name="editor" rows="15" cols="70"></textarea>...and copy and paste the Javascript code you can find in the related pages on Yahoo Developer Network on your page. Yahoo! provides a lot of useful and well explained examples regarding how to implement this rich text editor. I suggest to take a look at the following links:- Simple Editor with basic buttons- Code Editor- Editor in a Dialog ControlThe Rich Text Editor's toolbar is extensible via a plugin architecture so that advanced implementations can achieve a high degree of customization. For example you can replace your Wordpress default editor with the Yahoo! Rich Text Editor using this plugin, integrate it into Drupal to edit content using this module or use it like editor for comments of your blog .2. Free Rich Text EditorFree Rich Text Editor is an extremely easy to use FREE javascript based HTML WYSIWYG editor for your website, it can easily be implemented into any existing content management system or other web application with no knowledge required in programming or javascript. Only 3 lines of code required to set up the editor. It also now outputs as XHTML compliant code!The only lines of code you have to add are the following:<form action="" method="post"><!-- Include the Free Rich Text Editor Runtime --><script src="/freerte/js/richtext.js" type="text/javascript\"></script><!-- Include the Free Rich Text Editor Variables Page --><script src="/freerte/js/config.js" type="text/javascript\"></script><!-- Initialise the editor --></form>Simple no? The result is very nice and looks like the Microsoft Word interface. I suggest you to try it if you are looking for an affordable and quick to implement solution for a rich text editor with a lot of useuful features. You can download it here.3. TinyMCE TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB. It has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or other HTML elements to editor instances. TinyMCE is very easy to integrate into other Content Management Systems.Is very simple to integrate in your website only with a few lines of code. Add this code into the tag <head> of your page:<script type="text/javascript\" src="tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>...and initialize the editor using the code you can find here, clicking on the tab View Source. Than add a simple text area in your page like this:<textarea id="content" style="width:100%"></textarea>That's all! It's ready to run on your page.4. FCKeditorFCKeditor is a very nice HTML text editor brings to the web much of the power of desktop editors like MS Word. It's lightweight and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer. The interface is clean andIt's very simple to implement using this code: <form action="" method="post"><script type="text/javascript\">var sBasePath = document.location.href.substring(0, document.location.href.lastIndexOf('_samples')) ;var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'FCKeditor1' );oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath;oFCKeditor.Height = 250;oFCKeditor.Create();</script></form>5. XinhaXinha is a powerful WYSIWYG HTML editor component that works in Mozilla based browsers as well as in MS Internet Explorer.Its configurabilty and extensibility make it easy to build just the right editor for multiple purposes, from a restricted mini-editor for one database field to a full-fledged website editor.

Ultra small code to drag everything in HTML pages http://www.ooopx.net/items/view/2111/ultra-small-code-to-drag-everything-in-html-pages

A frequent question I receive from my readers is about how to implement a simple script to drag elements in a web page. So in this post I want to illustrate the simplest method I know and use to drag everything in HTML pages, using just three rows of Javascript code.In this post I provided a very basic script quick to reuse and customize in your web projects (in the live preview I added some little additional features respect the content of this tutorial). This is the result: Download this tutorial Live previewHTML code: HTML code is very simple. You have to add a main layer with an ID (I used "draggables") and some DIV layers inside that layer. In this way all layers contained inside the layer "draggables" will be draggable when you select them. This is the structure:Copy and paste this code in your page:<div id="draggables"><div>Some content Here...</div><div>Some content Here...</div><div>Some content Here...</div></div>JavaScript code: Now take a look at this simple code which enable drag features. Before all add a link to MooTools farmework in the <head> tag of the page:<script type="text/javascript\" src="mootools.svn.js"></script>Now, copy and paste this simple unobtrusive code:<script type="text/javascript\">window.addEvent('domready', function(){ $('#draggables div').each(function(drag){ new Drag.Move(drag);}); });</script>Simple no? Just in three rows! In this way when you click on a div element contained inside the layer #draggables it will be draggable. In this tutorial I used DIV layers for my draggable elements but you can use every tag you want (p, h1, h2, ul, li....). The only thing you have to change is HTML code and DIV - with the tag you use (p, h1, h2, ul, li....) - in this line:$('#draggables div').each(function(drag)You can also add a custom style to your draggable elements using a simple CSS class I called "drag". For example, change the previous code HTML with the following:<div id="draggables"><div class="drag">Some content Here...</div><div class="drag">Some content Here...</div><div class="drag">Some content Here...</div></div>...and CSS code could be something like this:.drag{border:solid 6px #DEDEDE;background:#FFF;width:200px;height:150px;...}That's all! Try it and download the source code ready to use in your porject. Download this tutorial Live preview
