The Heads of State Redesign Site – August 30th, 2008

I was looking for sites that utilized the Javascript History/BackButton library SWFAddress, because the studio I work at was looking into similar solutions for a site we were working on EcoDrivingUSA. While searching I noticed that The Heads of State used it and had just released their newest web site redesign.

I’ve been a fan of The Heads of State since I saw there first entires PRINT and HOW. If you’re unfamiliar with them they’re an amazing two man studio formed by Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers with offices in Brooklyn, NY and Seattle, WA that is probably best known for their poster work.

  • Mixed-mode syntax highlighting (Javascript embedded in HTML)
  • Significant performance increases (Leopard only)
  • Search across multiple files locally
  • User customizable books
  • More AppleScript support
  • Web Preview now previews local PHP files
