What About User-Generated Advertisements?
I wanted to share this blog post, Letting your Community Create your Advertisements by Jeremiah Owyang. I think what Dell has done with their Regeneration campaign and the way they are pointing in terms of how the advertising industry will pick up from this is not something to be ignored.
Communicating Design by Dan Brown
About two weeks ago, my colleague Lisa handed me a book to read as a guide while I was preparing a user test plan. Thought I’d share that it is a good read for those whose job description include documenting and communicating design. It is great if you’re looking to have a solid foundation on IA principles and introductory techniques on the preparation of wireframes, site maps, and user journeys but might be leaning on the conceptual if you’re looking for time-effective solutions. Nevertheless, still very useful to have on your shelf.
Processing: Data-Visualization and Computational Design
I have developed a passion for quantitative research methods, statistics, and data analysis in recent years and my only complain is that the data is usually presented in drastically unappealing charts and graphs, that is until data-visualization and computational design created a promising way forward. Computational design draws together quantitative research data and presents them in a stimulating and artistic manner.
Drawing inspiration from the We Feel Fine project by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, I have done a little bit of digging on computational design and found an open source programming language Processing, an open source programming language to present data in interactive visual animation. This idea is not new of course, but with the popularization of Web 2.0 and the semantic web, we are seeing more and more computational design used to present mashups on the web.
It might be worth taking Ben Fry’s Processing course if you’re interested.
