The New York Times updated the T Magazine site today. I love the fixed-position elements on the page. The liquid / fluid grid layout moves beautifully. The confluence of the two techniques creates a huge impact.
T Magazine also uses Flash effectively and sparingly. The update introduced a new system for displaying slideshows of images. I’ve dreamed about the NYTimes shifting its slideshows from the cramped, dank slideshows it currently uses to something much richer and bigger.
I hope the NYTimes main site follows in T Magazine’s footsteps and integrates into its own site the breath-taking, full-screen slideshows T Magazine uses.
I’m such a fanboy. The only thing that would make the redesign better is if the featured article were about Maureen Dowd instead of Ryan Seacrest.
