Beautiful. As seen on Under Consideration. Sometimes a design is so well executed in its minimalism, there’s not much needs saying. HP has always struggled with being seen a stodgy, old and outdated. Their logo, the classic execution of letters in a corporate circle, embodied that. Their new logo, based tightly on work by Moving […]
Apple revealed last Friday that the average iPhone user unlocks their phone 80 times a day. That’s an incredible statistic. That’s 6-7 times an hour in the average 12 hour active day. Or once every 10 minutes. I think I’m falling behind the average. Anyway, it’s a very relevant statistic in the ongoing growth and discussion around the […]
Governance. Wikipedia calls it “the way the rules, norms and actions are produced, sustained, regulated and held accountable.” (coincidentally enough, as at April 2016, the entry on governance also notes that the article needs attention from an expert in Philosophy or Business. No shit, it took 3 paragraphs for the Wiki entry to get to that […]
It’s been an interesting time to be Kanye West so far in 2016. In early Feb, he teased TLOP, the initials for his upcoming album, and the interwebs went wild trying to guess. The idea that it was called The Life of Pablo…I’m sure there’s a subtext in there. Then he went on a world […]
Blockchain. So hot right now. And misunderstood. Look, I’m not really going to try and explain blockchaining. Go and read the Re/Code article, and try not to get distracted by the other interesting articles that you might…squirrel! It’s incredibly clever in its simplicity by creating security through a distributed network of trust and self-validation, that gets […]
At South by Southwest (SXSW) 2016, the big media/tech/art/futurism conference, leading design strategist and thinker John Maeda talked about his second Design in Tech report. I consider Maeda to be one of the most important voices in making design matter as an essential part of our daily lives, and the life of a brand. He […]
What, no clever title, you ask? Not this time – it’s not because the subject is so serious, but I think the words are mysterious enough already. Customer experience is a more recent bogeyman (read: buzzword). It’s been around long enough to impact our thinking and strategies, and for people to claim to be gurus, but not […]
It was an eventful day at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. A day that shall be henceforth known as Zuckerday. Samsung has some new phones coming soon. In an exciting move, you can get a Gear VR if you preorder. Nicely played Samsung. Like, Oprah meme nice. Seriously, that shit’s already on memegenerator. And they […]
I’m incredibly excited about Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). I’ve played with both for a long while now, and been looking into it for ages. It’s one of those things I’ve been muttering excitedly about, but getting time to shout from the roof. We’re at a stage where the technology is getting real. Between […]
I like it. People apparently don’t. This HERE is the release on Uber’s site. Wired has a nice breakdown of the process HERE. I’m big into these process breakdowns. Partly my background in creative but also because I’m a bitter know it all who likes to judge designers and branding. I’m a big fan of the new brand. […]
