“The Facebook Facelift is a self initiated project to challenge the form and functionality of Facebook. It’s streamlined, structured and linear interface is more comprehendible, enhancing the user experience and absorbability of content.
The home page features many new benefits: the publisher toolbar enables users to post content from any page within facebook, saving time in navigating needlessly through profiles; the streams’ two-tiered filter (content type & content contributers) also creates a more coherent structure with the core elements retaining their position throughout most of the site; and the live feed displays a constant stream of all content posted in a users network, which expands upon mouse over.
Profiles also integrate with the system more seamlessly. Just as friend lists filter the stream by a select number of people, user profiles simply filter content to a single person, creating a clearer and more comprehendible layout.
The Facebook Publisher subsite is designed to support the growing use of Facebook as a primary form of contact as email once was. The separate address, publisher.facebook.com, would be permitted in businesses where Facebook is banned, allowing users to send messages without the distractions of user generated content. The interface is a mirror of the publisher toolbar ensuring a consistent interface.
Skimmer: I openly accept that components of this were inspired by the beautiful Skimmer but I think there is more than enough individuality in this project to not call it a copy. I’ve never understood making things different just for the sake of it, it is a method of progression. From using Skimmer I found that the feed layout and expanded view were useful, and tried to improve these aspects through further simplification and clarity.
Advertising: As this is a concept, I intentionally omitted banner advertising. However the layout has been designed to accommodate ads to the right, user content would simply scale to make space. It’s no different to a concept car leaving out, say… the engine.” – Barton Smith
Light paintings have been around for years, people create long exposures and paint their own picture using LED’s, flashlights and other illuminating tools. There are numerous amounts of videos out now showing light animations that would blow your mind. Plus I love some stop animation as you already know.
Music of the Week: Common “Universal Mind Control”
by
Marcus Lewis
Sat Jan 9th, 2010:
Some music is an acquired taste and some you just have no choice but to like because of the beat it lays down.
Personally I have song for everyone and some songs simply to get laughs out of friends and family. I’m not opposed to some (emphasis on some!) country music, love me some good ole caribbean reggae, dancehall music, baltimore club, definitely must have classical music in there too. Lots of R&B as well as old school hip hop and R&B can get the mood right, can’t turn away from pop and recently a little bit of rock. I have to place Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 in their own category and I’m definitely not against some good folk music (going to see The Wiyos in a little over a week).
*The Robot is Pharrell
Today we bring you Common’s Universal Mind Control ft Pharrell. Read More…
An architect friend has been working with Joel Fitzpatrick, rumor is there should be a new site released soon with some of her work on there. Thought this was a pretty cool stop animation project…
It’s also been a while since I checked up on the Cracker Jack Gang. I hadn’t seen this one yet, check it out.
A while back, Richard Airey of Evolution Perfomance Training had us do some branding for the New Jersey based strength & conditioning coaching program he is steadily building. He is a tremendous athlete himself and is currently training some impressive specimens.
Richard has been posting work out videos on the you tube, this one features the logo and logo type we put together for him at the beginning and close of the film. During the film you can see the variety of training he and his athletes work with, as well as hear a bad ass excerpt from the movie snatch incorporated in the remix soundtrack.
Kids Love Peace was created by ICY And SOT from Iran, Tabriz using 6 layers of stencils, giving the piece and extremely lifelike feel to it. I’ve seen a few stencil art works and I am impressed by the precision and detail in each stencil which makes it look like someone did this freehand.
“On one hand urbanscreen is a group of free media artists and architects, dealing with research and development of experimental media installations with the aim to stage urban areas. On the other hand urbanscreen acts as a professional agency which translates the creative potential of this current art form onto the dialogue between commerce and art.” – Urbanscreen on Vimeo
For some reason this Facade Projection project by Urbanscreen had me hooked, I found this video a couple days ago and it kinda left me in a daze, my eyes were locked on and I could not turn away.
I know Halloween past a month ago, but I was talking to my brother and he told me about this youtube video about some guy making a Transformers costume of Bumblebee. He explained to me when the guy stood up he looked like Bumblebee transformed which is pretty cool, but the amazing part about it was as the guy kneeled down the proper way he looked like a miniature Camaro. I had to see it for myself, so here’s the video.
Last year I was watching some TV and apparently it was shark week; they had documentaries, shows dedicated to learning about sharks, MythBusters even had back to back episodes on different shark myths and we’ve all seen Jaws. There was a Shark Week: 30th Anniversary show,at the end of the week following Mike Rutzen aka Sharkman around while he tries to achieve his goal of putting a great white shark under a hypnotic state called Tonic Immobility, from just a touch of their snout.
This video actually made me a huge fan of Imogen Heap… Just For Now
