New Viget Site and Blog Strategy Paying Off
The Viget team launched our new corporate site and blogging strategy nearly two weeks ago now, and the hard work seems to be paying off. The community is engaging us, stats are showing increased and sustained traffic, and the design is getting good reactions from other designers, colleagues, and clients. The gist is that we decided to harness our creativity a bit more, demonstrate stronger expertise, and expand our blog presence/focus by creating individual blogs for our strategy, marketing, design, and development labs. As always, it’s hard to find/make the time to work internally on projects (even when it’s as important as your corporate site), but it sure feels rewarding and pays off when you do. Here are a few screen shots:
Teen Artist, Shaina Crump
So today’s a big day. My youngest sister, Shaina, turns 13. I have to say she’s amazing in so many ways. Kind-hearted and genuine are a couple that come to mind. Shaina also has a passion for art and even design to some extent. She has always loved drawing and I have seen flares for fashion, interior design, and photography along the way too. So, I simply wanted to wish her a great day and to share one of her many talents via a few of her sketches. She’s been down on her drawing skills the past year or so, but as you can see, she’s talented. Here are three sketches that I snagged from her sketch book over a year ago.
A Tip for Cleaner Resizing in Photoshop
I’ve always overlooked it for some reason. When resizing images in Photoshop, notice the ‘Resample Image’ select menu at the bottom of the ‘Image Size’ window.
A Term for “inducing illness”, Usability Style
We have a gut feeling for it as designers. It may even scare us away from making a needed change, because we know one simple rework can lead to the need for many others. IATROGENIC, while not officially a usability term, is an adjective which designates a problem as being fixer-induced.
