  • social familiarity
  • both the creation and the consumption of these images on mobile devices speaks to the relative ease of tapping into that familiarity
  • Thanks to the startups and digital entrepreneurs of this last generation, we are all minor league auteurs or videographers, used to framing the shot, creating more drama, working the lighting.

      The power of social media. Everyone is a storyteller, and the simplicity and availability of electronics, social media, and the world wide web, makes it possible for anybody to be a relevant news anchor.

  • long-running debate in some wired intellectual circles about whether social media powers revolutions, whether Twitter or Facebook really assist movements – and on the other side, whether digital technologies now help malign governments in sniffing out and crushing dissent
  • Of course the networks matter – because they always have
  • Twitter isn’t a traditional broadcast company; there’s no editor-in-chief who can be bought or pressured

      Interesting point about Twitter becoming a replacement for traditional news outlets like television and radio. Had similar discussion in class.
  • They horrify, but they don’t necessarily empower – or encourage action
  • we can instinctively understand the smaller scale conflict against a familiar backdrop in the same way we can grasp what happened at the Boston Massacre or even Lexington and Concord versus how Washington conducted the siege at Yorktown. And the visuals – really the currency of social media – have that quality of being instantly understood.
  • What’s different is speed (no wait for the 11 pm news) and the ability of everyone to share those images, along with comments and outrage
  • “Facebook ‘likes’ are often ridiculed as meaningless, but they can make a person realize that their social network feels the same as they do—and that’s a socially and politically powerful thing.”

  • Consistency is the key when getting started with web design. Are you learning everyday? Are you applying whatever new concepts you learn at least three times a week? Learning a little bit everyday is way better than covering a lot of material in just one day of the week.

  • Each kind of a website has its own peculiarities. A common mistake in web design community is to ignore the specificity of a website.

      A lot of people pick a template because of how it looks but certain templates don't work for certain kinds of sites. An online shop for example shouldn't have a template that was originally designed for a fashion blog for example.
  • In order to help people that want to create their own website at any cost, the designers came with a great solution: website templates. A template is a structure that needs small customizations, especially for personalizing it, and after finishing these it may be uploaded.
  • Tip #2: Choose the template you need but not the one you just visually like
