Wireframe and mockup tools, best examples It’s usual to see graphic designers having problems while trying to explain their customers the main idea of the project that they want to develop, this happens often because graphic and web designers are getting used to draw everything straight in the computer, without a previous hand drawn sketch. When the creative arrives to the costumer’s office / house and finds out that the person is not familiar with graphic programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator and so there’s is no way to show him the super cool vectorized interface that was supposed to blow out your client’s mind; don’t worry my dear creative people, because now there’s a product that will solve all your graphic presentation needs regardless of having the complete Adobe Suite at your disposal. We are talking about the mockups and wireframes, applications that are designed to work on your main idea without having to worry about resolution, color mode and other similar topics.

AdFreak Need a new reason to cry at weddings? Tosando, a Japanese company that offers musical instruments and lessons, is pleased to oblige with this intense, time-tripping tear-jerker. The short film tells the story of a widowed, middle-aged father and his daughter on her wedding day. At the reception, dad sits at the piano and attempts to play Pachelbel's Canon, which opens the floodgates for memories both happy and sad. The flashbacks are a tad disorienting at first, but you'll get the gist. (RocketNews24 has a handy breakdown/translation for those in need.)

Choosing a web development framework Illustration from Wordle.net Web Dev FrameworksWhich one is right for you? So you have decided you want to start your startup, or may be you just want to build a hobby site. The Creativity Club There are two black sheep in Sir John Hegarty’s office in Soho, London. One of them is literal – a stuffed animal inspired by BBH’s first ad for Levi’s, which gave birth to a corporate logo and a typically catchy slogan: ‘When the world zigs, zag.’ The other sits at a desk scattered with the detritus of a 40-year career (framed images from successful ads; D&AD Yellow Pencil; CLIO award bedecked with multicolored wristbands), sporting a trademark checked suit and wry smile. Hegarty is an old sage in the global advertising game – responsible for legendary campaigns for the likes of Audi (‘Vorschprung durch Technik’ was his idea) and Johnnie Walker, as well as Levi’s, British Airways, and Google. But as digital technology ushers in a new era for the ad industry, he shows no sign of slowing down and letting younger men take over. Indeed, Hegarty seems reinvigorated by the demands of the digital age.
An introduction to Online Advertising, and why you should care In 1994, Wired, then known as HotWired, claims it invented the banner ad. The Mosaic browser was just morphing into Netscape in 1994. And if you think ads slow down page loads now, readers had to download the first banner ads over thin dial-up connections.Despite those handicaps, the gaudy banner ad took over the web, 468 pixels wide by 60 deep. HotWired launched with banner ads from 14 companies including MCI, Volvo, Club Med, 1-800-Collect and Zima, but legend has it that the first HotWired banner ad was from AT&T, prophetically asking “Have you ever clicked your mouse right here? You will.”The banner ad powered the web’s first explosion. HotWired, a digital offshoot of Wired magazine, soon had more employees than the magazine, launched a search engine (HotBot) and was pulling in $20 million a year in revenue.
