Cool Hunting
As part of Design Blogfest 2007, CH readers have a chance at a prime sliver of Manhattan real estate. The Apartment's Crosby Street window has showcased post-its and chalkboards, but for the duration of New York Design Week they're generously turning it over to indie design.
If you're a designer with a prototype that you think deserves window treatment, please upload an image from your website or Flickr, a brief description and the keyword "designblogfest" here in Wists. We, the Design Blogfest bloggers, will create a shortlist on Monday afternoon after which we'll ask you, the readers, to vote on the best design. To keep tabs on the entries check the Design Blogfest Wists page.
• Monday, 14 May 2007, 12noon EST, deadline for entries via Wists
• Tuesday, 15 May 2007, shortlist of finalists, voting begins
• Wednesday, 16 May 2007, 12noon EST, voting ends

The impending fear of the end for print magazines seems to have only inspired publishers to prove everyone wrong by refining and, at times, redesigning their pages.
