The Internet map The map of the Internet Like any other map, The Internet map is a scheme displaying objects’ relative position; but unlike real maps (e.g. the map of the Earth) or virtual maps (e.g. the map of Mordor), the objects shown on it are not aligned on a surface. Mathematically speaking, The Internet map is a bi-dimensional presentation of links between websites on the Internet. Every site is a circle on the map, and its size is determined by website traffic, the larger the amount of traffic, the bigger the circle.

Reddoor Creative A Lovely and simple definition... more Finally some images of our humble work space. It's always hardest to create and document your own brand, but we're finally getting around to sharing these... more Here’s a little hand-debossing the Reddoor logo on a mini-poster that says thank you to those that have been a part of Reddoor’s first seven years. Color Psychology of Consumer Decision Making What does color really mean to your customer, or how does color affect consumer behavior? Colors can have a powerful psychological effect, and there is a strong connection between color and feelings. Color can evoke emotions and therefore it can change our behavior too (a red sports car can create feelings of excitement, or a blue sea can create feelings of calmness). This is also supported by science, as color addresses one of our basic neurological needs for stimulation. Color triggers very specific responses in the brain and in the whole body (red raises blood pressure and heart rates, while blue lowers blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rates). For marketers, color differentiates the brand, suggests emotional benefits and can be a key to a brand’s identity.
Best practices for navigation on the mobile web The way people access information online is evolving. Google reports that by next year (2013) more than half of website visits will come from mobile devices rather than desktops or laptops. Not only is the medium of accessing the web changing, the needs of most mobile users going online with their smartphone or handheld device is changing as well; becoming more focused and task oriented. Today’s smartphone owners use their phones to perform specific tasks such as checking locations of destinations, public transit schedules, and bank balances. While internet browsing on handheld devices does occur (especially when standing in really long lines or waiting for a bus) many people prefer to surf the web from the comfort of their home or office. Screen space is limited on handheld devices, and mobile users are busy, often multi-tasking as they search for information online with one thumb or finger.
Resources - The Graphic Mac You may recall that I’ve written about Advise in the past, but they’ve changed their name and domain to adJelly. If you missed my previous write-up about them, adJelly offers a fantastic collection of specs for all the most popular social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and more. You simply select the social media site you’re creating ads, images or graphics for in the left column and you’re presented with all the specs you’ll need. The site is particularly useful for designers because sites like Facebook offer numerous options for sizes. For instance, Facebook offers sizes for single image ads, carousel ads, video ads, video slideshow ads, cover and profile images, post images, event images and more. Plus, specs change frequently, and some sites don’t make it easy to find the specs (I’m looking at you, Facebook!).

Inc. It all started in the summer of ‘09, when developer mastermind Petr met Robin, a sought-after designer & entrepreneur. The two realized they shared a passion for a new technology that was changing the way the world communicated: the iPhone app. Petr had the coding expertise, but no flair for design. Robin’s design skills were on-point, but he needed more structural savvy. Together, they were a killer combination and they teamed up immediately.
