Istanbul Design Week, 13-20 September IDW is going to bring together new design talents on the venue of the old Galata Bridge
The umbrella concept of Istanbul Design Week is “From Turkish Delight to Turkish Design.”
This is an industrial design event but, includes fashion, meals, and graphics, events such as panels, seminars, contests, exhibitions, interactive shows, workshops and other activities with a “design” theme.

Flash Player 8 (8Ball) is out today.
I made a quick test and noticed some performance increase.
My test was about attaching 4 comboBox with data and icons (this makes difference).
It was almost two times faster than FP7. Waiting for Maelstorm to use 8 Ball’s benefits.

DENIM is tool for web designers turns drawing input to basic interface elements and navigation.

Drawing with mouse is not as easy as drawing on a paper but, your drawing input immediately turns into reusable links, windows and checkboxes. It allows design at different refinement levels, and unifies the evels through zooming.

I won’t compare this tool with Mind Manager becouse it is very formal and can be used conjuction with DENIM.
The big defference from a web designer perspective is DENIM is very close to paper and pen, so human :)
This reminds me my sketch board

Altough Flash is the most popular interactive content authoring tool, Macromedia Director becomes the former of the basic media environment.
Very useful links about Director from Less Rain. Must see :)
