Enter, the Stanford Institute of Design. Link hijacked from the IxD mailing list, courtesy of a one Bill DeRouchey. Thanks, Bill.
That looks really pretty. I wanted to enroll, but I wasn't sure if it was an enrollable institution. Like, just some sort of abstract, academic body. It reminded me of how I should publish my efforts of getting into Carnegie Mellon's graduate school... I've yet to come up with the funds, but I shouldn't let that stop me.
If you click on the Manifesto link on the bottom right, you'll get all "you need to know, on a napkin". This being a design institute, I thought they'd be clever and put the graphic of a napkin in the background and have text cover it. Ahh, but they were cleverer than I. They used an image with no alt text to describe their manifesto.
Pretty, but not functional.
Upon closer inspection, you'll find some of the text transcribed in the meta description. Again, slick, but not functional. Not to me, anyway.
And how to get there. Some stale ass javascript protocol. C'mon guys, that's so... Last year. Dynamically applied events is where it's at.
