Looking at the redesign of the @nooka website
I’ve been really lucky in 2010 so far. It has also been incredibly busy. While transitioning from Daylife and before starting at Behavior I had the opportunity to work with one of my favourite brands to design their new site in terms of UX. I’m not a huge fan of the word UX as I see it as part of the natural part of design, but I’ll save that discussion for... Read More
Bending Content Buckets, or How I Currently Grab Content Worth Trying to Remember
a> I’ve been thinking about doing an updated post about how I find stuff on the online for a while. The internet was a lot simpler before I found myself getting throttled by my internet carrier who claims to be giving me fast internet. Back in the day I could open 70–90 sites easily via tabs. Now I’m lucky if 8–10 sites will open up at once. Typically three or four... Read More
Why I’m evolving Design Notes to Design Noted
I’ve decided to stop publishing Design Notes as it currently is. I’ve wanted to evolve what the blog was for a while now. I’ve been testing out a couple ideas for the past couple of months. I tried a new site for Link Drop Today, and recently started asking people about a name change for Design Notes and my name. What I learned from those exercises is that I don’t... Read More
On Using Flavors.me as a Portfolio Site
Last night I was asked about Flavors.me and how I liked using it, specifically about using it as a portfolio site. What Flavors.me provides is an easy way to collect any number of social sites that people use to publish content. I have Design Notes and Link Drop Today connected there, along with Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube and using their RSS connection, Delicious. As a one stop place... Read More
51% Design or Design just as much as you have to…
There’s an old saying in advertising about it being correct 50% of the time—people just aren’t sure which 50%. In the print world (which is just about dead), they’ve got one shot to get the content and design right before it hits the presses. When I think online I consider it to be the thing that has an infinite life. You can always update it. The only time something... Read More
My M.O.
It’s been a while since I actually thought about why I design, after all it’s what I do all day long and for most of the evening too. But I thought it would be interesting to look back at a statement that wrote before I moved to New York about my world of design. See to Think Think to Design Design to Live It’s a fairly straight forward concept that ideas appear... Read More
Guidelines for moi
Over at Uniquely the Epitome, Marc Rapp asked a bunch of creative types (including me) to write down some laws that they follow. Here’s Marc’s original post: IT’S THE LAW ( AT LEAST FOR TODAY ). I don’t know if I could say the below nine points are necessarily laws so much as they’re guidelines that I try to follow for the most part. You may have even... Read More
