So, I was trying to find a good music player to embed in the site when I encountered Moof – which claims “Social Music Reinvented” for an iTunes like online social music player – which didn’t suit my needs…
…but I couldn’t miss the login and registration form on the bottom of the page. Seems so human-centric and inviting.
Now – the question is – would it work? Are you feeling this form would work better on you?
Wireframing is one of the most valuable parts of any web design project. It can save a designer tons of time by hashing out the details of a site’s architecture, functionality, and content prior to actually starting a visual design. But if done inefficiently, it can end up costing more time and can even create bigger headaches for both the client and the designer.

University of the Arts - Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design
Twenty years ago, in April 1989, Central School of Arts and Crafts (est. 1896) and Saint Martins College of Art (est. 1854) merged into what is now called Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (CSM).
On Monday, I went to a panel at the college’s Cochrane Theatre, celebrating the 20 years since the union. Geoff Fowle, former director of the Graphic Design course, hosted the panel of graduates from the last 20 years, who discussed their experiences before, during and after studying at CSM.
After the panel, we were invited to a reception with Geoff and other members of staff and alumni, which lead to some interesting discussions. While sipping our drinks, my tutor asked my opinion on the university website. This was a very thought-provoking question and I wanted to share my ideas here. [click to continue…]

I’m thinking on many things lately. Mainly, on what I’ll grow up to be. Am I going to be a graphic designer? a web designer? a filmmaker? Or is it going to be some kind of interface designer… or a game designer.
Sometimes I’d like it to be a mix of all the things I do. Could it be?
I’m confused.
I’m growing up, I can feel it. And in some ways I feel that I might miss the train. I have some great ideas, and I find it hard to bring them to life. I think I’m waiting for something and I don’t know what. I’d just like to move on.
I’ve been sending some applications for internships. For all three subjects that are intersting to me: design for print, design for web and film production. I tried also for the game industry, but it seems there aren’t a lot of them, at least not in the design section.
I feel that I’d like an answer. Should I go this way? Should I go that way? or should I turn to a total different direction?
Some say the world is my oyster. I sure hope it is.
I‘ve been working on my website lately.
It’s about time that I’ll have some kind of an online portfolio.
The truth is, I’ve been lazy. Or more accurately: I started doing it, and than I stopped, But now I started again from the beginning.
It’s a long hard job doing it and I’ve been working on it for long hours each day.
A helpful hint for building your website: There is basic coding to be done (HTML) but all the rest of the stuff (javascipt, php, etc.) have been written already by someone. So the main thing to be done is to go and search for those things.
One good library for all good functional stuff is jQuery. If you want your website to be a bit more animated, a bit more flexible and a lot more dramatic.
Another one which is much more known is script.aculo.us. This library is dealing more with sortable menues and easy-to-use shopping carts, but you can find your own use for it.
More on this and my search for the best photo gallery later.
