Anime Character Maker 2 Gender, Boobs, and Video Game Characters by Lisa Wade, PhD, Dec 30, 2010, at 10:51 am Dr. Cai Wilkinson (at the University of Birmingham), YetAnotherGirl, and (surprise surprise) Dmitriy T.M. sent in this humorous flowchart satirizing the design of video game characters. (Source: I Love Charts) In addition to the gender lesson in the flowchart, there are some interesting lesson about who “our” enemies are: demons, monsters, and Russians. Using a similar strategy, Laura McD. sent in a series of images from graphic novels, re-drawn by comic artist Megan Rose Gedris, designed to raise awareness about (the absurdity of) the sexual objectification of women in comics.

If this summer's movie posters told the truth A whole host of blockbusters are on their way this summer, ready to dazzle you with dizzying marketing campaigns, flashy trailers and big-name stars. Let's cut the crap: here are the posters for the real movies. See? What 8-Bit Video Games Can Teach Us About Design And UX The computer sitting at your desk is far more powerful than anything available to all but the largest businesses in the 1980s, enabling us to continue to add layer upon layer without slowing down, and possibly losing focus on why we are here in the first place – to deliver a high quality product. One possible solution is to this is to artificially limit your design and color options the way Shigeru Miyamoto was limited by technical constraints when designing Zelda and Mario on the NES.
