Designing and implementing interfaces at Scribd.

It’s always nice when people notice the little designs elements that you make for a site. Smashing magazine decided to put BuzzShout’s favicon () on a list of creative favicons.

I noticed that CNN has redesigned their front page. The familiar left hand menu has been made inline, and is now at the top of the page. This leaves plenty of room for the three columns which are chock full of information. Some new additions are the promotions for their pipeline video service, and AJAX tabs under Latest News.

The relocation of the menu to the top is in direct opposition with Google’s potential redesign, which will relocate their menu to the left hand column.

Overall, I think the top half of CNN’s frontpage is looking better. The bottom half, however, is obviously in need of some rework to make it cleaner.
