Data Driven Design

July 26, 2012

Holy wow! Check out the new site, Emblemetric.

“Working with its database of more than 1.2 million logos dating back to 1884, Emblemetric examines patterns in design over time and across industries, including those related to the births of new styles, deaths of old trends, color use, and geography.”

How well do you know your colors?

July 25, 2012

I have excellent vision but pretty bad color awareness. It’s something I am working hard to improve.

Use the color wheel on this site to match popular brands colors and try to beat my score of 45%!

Edit: 71% score on my second try.

Are you internet literate?

June 18, 2012

I fired up my new Roku media player with the TV the other day and started surfing for channels. One channel I found is full of MIT open course videos. I started playing this video on new media and wanted to share it with you all.

A big takeaway for me was Henry Jenkins talking about literacy being to read and write, to watch and participate. In these new mediums like twitter, youtube, and being online in general the majority of older people are, and should be considered, illiterate. Sure they can read the New York Times online on their iPad, and sure they can watch YouTube videos. But they are not uploading content to YouTube. They are not participating in the comments or have their own blog.

Watch this video and tell me what stands out for you. This stuff gets me all fired up!
