Interesting interview of the breakdown/process poured into making Adobe and Big Spaceship’s latest project: The Expressive Web.
Adobe Principal Product Manager Mike Chambers sits down with Stephen Koch, Sr. Developer from digital creative agency Big Spaceship, to discuss new design tools in HTML5 and CSS3 that can help you create expressive features in your webpages’ UIs.
Here’s the video.
A couple of weeks back I mentioned the RIMA lamp by Dreipuls. I was kind of bummed as it looks more fashioned towards those with laptops/notebooks. Then I saw the Z-Bar Desk Lamp by Koncept Technologies.
Z-Bar Desk Lamp features the award-winning three-bar design for ultimate reach and flexibility. The super-adjustable LED head can spin in its socket, sweep side to side, and rotate around the end of the arm to point in any direction. The touchstrip is located near the LED head for easy access. Slide your finger along the strip to dim gradually, or touch the strip anywhere to jump directly to any brightness, including off. Compatible with optional occupancy sensor.
Such a beauty. I also noticed that the Z-bar is also clamp-able. Which is good if you can only afford so much desk space for a lamp. Other than having a stylish, compact design, it is also “green”—about 50,000 hours life span on its LED bulbs.
Probably the only negative is the starting price of $130. Not bad as this is a potential keeper. More product photos below…
Nice Design on this iPhone App for Pitchfork Music Festival 2011.
Though I wish there was a link to-the-top on the Info page. But overall, simple, readable and to the point. More screens below.
I was looking for a desk lamp to replace the one I got from IKEA in 1997—it finally 86’ed. After a couple of minutes of research, I saw this beauty: the RIMA lamp by Dreipuls.
One can go to the web and try to find a definition for User-Experience Design. They’ll find results such as this:
User experience (UX) is about how a person feels about using a product, system or service. User experience highlights the experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human-computer interaction and product ownership, but it also includes a person’s perceptions of the practical aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency of the system. User experience is subjective in nature, because it is about an individual’s feelings and thoughts about the system. User experience is dynamic, because it changes over time as the circumstances change.
But sometimes, animations can do more. Here’s a couple by lyle on Vimeo.
