Brief / Journal: Flip It and Reverse It

Brief / Journal: Flip It and Reverse It:

TL;DR - Reverse the feed - Load refreshed content differently.

Estimated read time: 5 mins.
Estimated time to understand this post: 10 mins.

Let me start off by saying, I use the words “Top, down, bottom, up, refresh, update” a lot here. It can get a bit confusing but I guess read slowly.

The Flat Design Era

layervault:

When LayerVault 2 launched earlier this spring, we believed that we were taking a risk by pursuing an entirely flat interface.

Well-loved products on the web share a similar design aesthetic, with roughly the same kinds of bevels, inset shadows, and drop shadows. For designers, achieving this level of “lickable” interface is a point of pride. For us, and for a minority of UI designers out there, it feels wrong.

We certainly didn’t invent the flat style but arriving at it was a violent process. We tore through hundreds of revisions (we have the LayerVault timelines to prove it) to potential interfaces before arriving at the answer that now makes us say “of course.” The desk at LayerVault’s original headquarters (my Manhattan apartment) still has the battle scars from objects being slammed down in anger. At one point, while working on a mockup, a MacBook was slammed shut so hard it was nearly unhinged.

new-aesthetic:

“Like-A-Hug is a wearable social media vest that allows for hugs to be given via Facebook, bringing us closer despite physical distance. The vest inflates when friends ‘Like’ a photo, video, or status update on the wearer’s wall, thereby allowing us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs. Hugs can also be sent back to the original sender by squeezing the vest and deflating it.”

I just discovered ‘New Aesthetic’ a definition of a new art form. So I found this awesome keynote by James Bridle at Web Directions South in Sidney 2011.

It’s about digital art that’s been made possible through technology. Enjoy!

Buchtipp: Make it so

Many designers enjoy the interfaces seen in science fiction films and television shows. Freed from the rigorous constraints of designing for real users, sci-fi production designers develop blue-sky interfaces that are inspiring, humorous, and even instructive. By carefully studying these “outsider” user interfaces, designers can derive lessons that make their real-world designs more cutting edge and successful.

Last week I was at the Campus Party Europe in Berlin. The number of talks and workshops was amazing and fortunately they recorded almost every talk so you can watch them on their YouTube channel.

This is one of my favorites. Alex Barrera gives a crash course in starting a startup. He’s a really powerful presenter and seems like he’s seen some shit in the business.

If I find the time I’ll make a playlist with all of my favorite talks of the Campus Party 2012.

Interactive agency Fi launched another case study website today. It’s about Google’s Project Re:Brief. A kind of workshop where people from Google and various advertising agencies sat together with retired creatives to rethink some of their ideas from the 60’s and 70’s for the digital age.

I watched the entire 1 hour documentation film and I must say it really entertained me. Not mind blowing but nicely done and very “google-ish”. Enjoy! :)

Given a large repository of geotagged imagery, we seek to automatically find visual elements, e.g. windows, balconies, and street signs, that are most distinctive for a certain geo-spatial area, for example the city of Paris.

Mind blowing data mining! ->Project website for insights
