Our WordPress Article Count says this one ist number 250. Time to celebrate over one year of news and stories about Interface and Interaction Design mixed up with a little bit of envis. For the next 250 blog posts we wish that we can provide you with some information about hot and new and sometimes weird stuff again.

This months edition of PAGE, a famous german design magazine, is featuring its new special interest magazine for interactive design called weave, with a 38 page strong preview. Weave will be all about web design, conceptual design and the development of new media.

The first edition of weave will be published in September. You can pre-order here…
