Today @nickdenardis is proud to announce the site EDU Snippits. A Web site dedicated to collecting the best higher education design user interface elements.
Overview
EDU Snippits is the place to collect and get inspired about design elements for higher education web sites. It’s not designed to rate the whole web site (that is what eduStyle.net is for) but to rate snippits of the design that you find appealing or useful. It is a place to gather by category the different design elements of Web pages.
The idea is simple, see something you like on a higher education web site, take a screen shot, cut it out and submit it. It can be anything from the wordmark, promotion button, navigation, forms or even how the content is laid out. The goal is to compare and inspire web designers, developers, writers and user experience experts.
