Adobe is killing Creative Suite; here's why - 0 views

  • Not only is the creative services software shop closing down the Creative Suite version numbers and branding; it’s getting rid of the entire paradigm of old-school, cereal-box* software.
  • No more waiting for your design software’s features to catch up with what the web guys have been doing for six months
  • new purchasing paradigm for the entire creative industry. Every ad agency, every magazine, every indie design firm and print shop — they will all be transitioning from bought-and-owned software at $200 or $700 or $2,000 a pop to the Creative Cloud subscription model, which can cost as little as $20 per mont

  • As for existing and even older versions of Creative Suite software, Morris said, “We’re not doing any [new] feature development
  •  
    For MDs, Video Team and users of adobe products. We may face another licensing issues with their monthly subscriptions plan, so be prepared to hop onto the cloud, which means new workflow for us as well. Adobe announced that they will not release any more box sets and will not be supporting new features for existing versions. Seems like everyone on board Adobe platforms will be forced to get Adobe CC subscriptions next round. Be prepared to hope on the Cloud. you can get a trial version on their website to play around.. http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/creativecloud.html

Prankster Photoshops People Into Ads While They Wait for the Bus - 1 views

  •  
    Really funny!  Perhaps we could play on this idea for e-Fiesta... maybe have a camera where we invite people to look into the camera and find their faces suddenly popping up in a poster of themselves - complete with the #efiesta tag, or something like that. What strikes me is the use of humour and fun in marketing and publicity, especially when it comes to social media. E.g. I esp like how the burly man was very amused at a Hulk'd  version of himself standing over a burning city. People do like to see positive photos of themselves - especially when done by others. (But wonder how the MDs would feel having to photoshop in real-time haha. :D)

IASC: The Hedgehog Review - Volume 14, No. 1 (Spring 2012) - Why Google Isn't... - 0 views

  •  
    A very interesting journal essay that points out how info overload is not a new problem, but one that has existed ever since the first books. The writer examines how people in the previous centuries used the then-new technology of printing to help them handle the "plague of books" that was overwhelming their libraries. He then reminds us, that at the core of it all, it is not the technology itself that enables and empowers learning, but an ecology of human-tech interaction that helps us learn more effectively in today's Toffler-esque world. A fascinating read indeed. A more readable PDF version: http://www.iasc-culture.org/THR/archives/Spring2012/Wellmon_lo.pdf

Google Drive Electronic Signature Integration | RightSignature Blog - 1 views

  •  
    Nice find. I wonder how many other folks in and outside NIE will be open to this form of signing. Maybe it is time to push those who are willing to explore this option!
  •  
    I have tried that. 5 forms for free version. Unlike Doodle, you can remove the old item and free up for new added item. Once the form is signed, no way to remove it. The paid version is USD$49 per month for business and mobile ready. I understand that CUS has also subscribed to some kind of signing software, will check that out.
  •  
    I understand from Lay Choo, It is also under CUS roadmap to implement signature software to campus if they find the signature software good. They are now using eSignDoc from softpro. I recommend RightSignature to her instead :)

Deconstructing the HTML5 Mobile Development Workflow - 1 views

  •  
    Hey it's a very informative video presentation on migrating your skills to the mobile world but you're not quite sure how to get started. If you are still thinking a mobile web app is just a tear down simplified version of the actual website, you should watch this. Well I was thinking it was supposed to be that way a couple months back. * Be warned contents can get technical and is long but it's better than reading lines of texts.

Challenges of Interface Design for Mobile Devices » Yahoo! User Interface Blo... - 1 views

  • designing for a mobile device can lead to a solution that is worlds different than its desktop equivalent.
  • Context of Use
  • Users have a very specific need and desire to accomplish their goal in the easiest and fastest way possible. This fact alone helps explain why mobile interfaces are designed the way they are
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Feature sets are optimized to streamline common use cases Use typography to show hierarchy and importance Features are progressively displayed Large buttons are used to make interactions actionable
  • Designing with awareness to context will yield a more atomic design that instead of introducing users to a proverbial blank canvas, will guide them toward accomplishing important tasks. Having to deal with slow data speeds, high network latency, smaller screens, and an unpredictable mode of use only reinforce the need to isolate an application’s essential features and offer access to them when contextually appropriate. Next time you design an interface for a mobile device, remember to consider context of use and context of the medium as part of your design strategy.
  • Dealing with phone numbers and other mobile friendly data Displaying information on a smaller screen Not using a cursor Device speed and network latency
  • Context of the medium
  • To design an experience that can gracefully coexist with others tools, one needs to understand what kind of media can be processed by specific mobile internet browsers, and when onboard applications are launched.

      need to find out hows web app can interact with other apps... especially how we can integret that into harmonia and dropbox feature...
  • Using traditional web development techniques of creating fluid designs that scale horizontally is the fastest way to deploy a single design to many different mobile devices.

    While reading for ideas on doing mock up mobile interface, i stumbled this. very interesting read on designing for usability for mobile devices and why it is not just a scale down version of your actual desktop website.

Moodle Goes Mobile on iPhone -- THE Journal - 1 views

  • The open source learning management system Moodle has a new mobile companion. Developers at Moodle HQ have released a free app for iOS designed to work with Moodle 2.1 or later.
  • My Moodle isn't a replacement for the Moodle interface; rather, it just provides some additional tools tailored specifically for mobile users. These include the ability to: Capture video, still images, and audio and upload those to Moodle; Upload images and video from users' existing libraries; E-mail and message participants in users' courses; Add notes about users; Add course participants to users' iPhone contact lists; Get help through MoodleDocs; and Access the full Moodle site. (A separate login for the Web version is required with the version of the mobile app.)

Contemplative Computing - 0 views

  • So can computers actually help improve our concentration and contemplation, instead of leading us into distraction? The problem, as Pang puts it, is that "Technologies that were supposed to help us think better, work more efficiently, and connect more meaningfully with others now interrupt us, divide our attention, and stretch us thin."
  • In the paper he outlines give principles of contemplative computing; Build awareness through DIY and self-experimentation Recognize that we are cyborgs, and humans Create rewarding challenges Support mind-wandering Treat flow as a means, not an end
  • Pang suggests that we don't have to choose between information technology and contemplation, and suggests contemplative computing as a new way forward. He describes contemplative computing as something you do, not a product. But the principles of contemplative computing could be extending to application design. "The problem is that today's information technologies are often poorly-designed and thoughtlessly used: they're like unreliable prosthetics that we have to depend on, but can't quite control or trust," Pang says.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • You might be surprised to see "support mind wandering" on the list. But Pang makes a distinction between mind wandering and distraction, and points out the value creative value of mind wandering and day dreaming (for more on this subject, check out this article by Jonah Lehrer, though Lehrer doesn't really make the distinction between distraction and mind wandering).
  •  
    A fascinating post on "contemplative computing", where computing can be used to facilitate and even enhance creative education/workflow process... where the software would allow you to try out multiple versions of a music composition / essay / video seamlessly... while enabling you to wander around exploring on relevant topics on Wikipedia without getting distracted off-topic! :)

SoundCloud brings 'sets' to version 2.5 of its Android and iPhone app - The Next Web - 0 views

  • Keep also lets you speak to it: the service transcribes voice memos for you automatically. Since we’re talking about Google here, there’s also a “super-fast search” function so you can find the note you wrote, read it, and then either archive or delete it.
  • Google on Wednesday announced Google Keep, a note-taking service similar to Evernote, for both the Web and Android 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean) devices. You can try the service out now for yourself at Drive.Google.com/Keep or download the Android app from the Google Play Store.

Control Google Earth like a Jedi with Leap Motion - 1 views

shared by Eveleen Er on 23 Apr 13 - No Cached
yeuann liked it
  • Leap Motion – which is basically Kinect on steroids – is a tiny sensor that lets you control your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC with precise mid-air gestures. The company wants to launch with as much great software support as possible, and Google Earth is a big feather in that cap. With version 7.1 for desktops (available now) you can now use Leap to zoom through big cities, rustic boroughs, and Arctic tundra like you’re Obi Wan Kenobi.
