    The anticipated redesign for the AIGA Design Archives, designed by Second Story Interactive Studios, has launched. We’ll have to take some more time browsing the archives, but we are excited to see how far back in time some of the collections go. AIGA has also posted a case study to learn more about the development process and design behind the revamped, substantial design resource. The expansive collections provide something for everyone, from A Decade of Sports Graphics (1987-96) to Fifty Advertisements of the Year (1973). There is plenty of book cover design eye candy too.

    Youtube to Get a Redesign:
Wired reports that over the next few weeks Youtube will be rolling out a redesign to “declutter” and clean up the user interface. This comes shortly after their new experiment with streaming rentals for “five different flicks from the Sundance Film Festival using their Google Checkout accounts” (mashable).
You can already start using the new design now by clicking this link. Reverting back is simple enough by clicking the “Return to the old YouTube” in the upper right corner.

    Tumblr redesigns their dashboard, adding new functionality. We are looking forward to testing out the new navigation further. At first glance it looks like Tumblr has done away with the controversial “tumblarity” ranking system. Though don’t count on it: “We’re about to totally overhaul the Directory, along with the Activity page and Tumblarity which power it. In preparation, we’ve taken both of these pages offline while we make changes.” —tumblr staff blog

After several weeks of parsing through your feedback and making adjustments, the new Dashboard nav is up!
Just two things to note:

To fix the issue with unnecessary unread counts on blogs you’re already following, we now only show unread counts for private blogs.
