Footer mullet
Posted April 11, 2008 Comments(1)
Comments(1) I was talking to some folks today about our library website redesign plans and various web design trends…
One of the topics of conversation was the big footer trend. Our web designer described it as kind of a “mullet” (you know, business in front, party in back) because it lets you devote all the main screen real estate to serious content and then put all the fun stuff (like news & events, flickr images, featured/spotlight content, etc.) hanging out at the bottom.
The University of Louisville has a nice example of a big footer:

The group had mixed feelings about this web trend. What do ya’ll think?
What do you think about big web site footers?
Powerhouse Museum joins the Commons on Flickr

Comments(0) The Powerhouse Museum in Australia has just joined the Library of Congress to be the second member of the Commons on Flickr.
And BTW - Seb Chan’s Powerhouse blog Fresh + New(er) is one of my favorites and a fantastic source for interesting discussions about digital media, access systems, interface design, tagging and web2.0. I also love their opac/online collections site (really, it’s super cool, go play with it).
