I am sure you have seen the news. Snapchat announces that they will be releasing a wearable. The "cool kids" google glasses. I for one am SO happy to see snapchat get into the the physical world. They are a little absurd, but then again so is staring at your phone all day. What are your thoughts?

Dieter Rams - Quote of the day

Good design is innovative. Good design must be useful. Good design is aesthetic design. Good design makes a product understandable. Good design is honest. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is long-lasting. Good design is consistent in every detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. And last but not least, good design is as little design as possible. - Dieter Rams

HUMANIZING THE WEB

9/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Recently, I have become very interested in designing for interactions. Animations specifically always seemed slightly superfluous to me. That is until I really dug into it and realized that I merely didn't understand the purpose.

I could compare my disinterest in animation to the people that say "i don't like to wear makeup". They don't dislike makeup, but they know it takes time to apply makeup and its expensive to purchase makeup. I would guess 99% of the time, if they applied it correctly and bought the right products, they love the way they look with makeup and can't imagine not wearing it. 

Similarly. A lack of understanding, poor historical examples, and the cost associated with hiring a professional disuade most from digging into interaction design and applying it to their organization. 

Below is a list of articles that explain, from different angles, how designing for these interactions can provide the user with context and enhance their experience on your product.  Take a look.

The New Face of Advertising. Best Ads of 2013

11/25/2013

0 Comments

 
Is it possible to make an ad that is enjoyable to watch, useful and fun?! It seems Kate Spade, Google, and Instagram are just a few examples of company's that are using advertising as a chance to connect and please users rather than annoy.  

We have all had the ads that just seem to pop up exactly at the wrong time. Or the "pop under" advertisements that leave you wondering if you won solitaire? Or the "type in this phrase" to unlock the ad. Or the, you will never be able to find the close button and the music is blasting ad.  

While there are plenty of ads that still can annoy us this holiday season I would like to say a special thanks for the ads that are delighting us.

Some of this years best ads: 
  • Goldie Blox (8 million in 9 days)
  • Dove Real Beauty
  • Hump Day
  • Ship My Pants
  • Carrie: Telekinetic Coffee Shop
