Band-Aid® Magic Vision
This isn’t particularly recent, but I only now found it. It is a cool (cute) little AR implementation. There’s an iOS app. Basically if you point your camera from within the app at any Muppets-branded Band-Aid, you’ll see a scene featuring one of 3 Muppets. If you don’t have any of the Muppets Band-Aids, there’s an option to e-mail yourself a printable one from within the app. Try it out. It’s fun.

The Unwritten Rules of a Great Design Critique
**not that anyone reads these articles…
For the most part, web designers work in teams or at least collaborate with other designers and/or developers. This means that at some point in your career you will be involved in many design critiques — some formal and some informal. Sometimes you’ll be the target and at other times you’ll be the one aiming so it’s vital to know how to handle, react and properly conduct yourself during these collaborative sessions.
Design critiques are awesome and they are a huge, gigantic educational opportunity for you, no matter what side of the fence you’re on. If held properly they are very good opportunities to collaborate and learn from other designers and developers. Some firms or companies have very specific guidelines and goals to follow during design critiques but what are the general unwritten rules of a great design critique?
We’ll talk about each one in more detail, but first let’s set the table. Here are ten unwritten (until now) rules you should keep in mind for your next design critique. They are written generally and should be applied to both sides of the equation.
- It’s Not About You
- Maintain Respect and Honesty
- Avoid Meaningless Words and Phrases
- Comparisons Should be Used Sparingly
- Be Specific
- Remember those Design Principles
- Understand the Design Approach and Context
- Ask Why
- Offer Suggestions
- Consider the Goals and Audience of the Design

Social Login Buttons Aren’t Worth It
Social Login Buttons Aren’t Worth It | MailChimp Email Marketing Blog.
Interesting take on the SOCIAL LOGIN BUTTON debate from the guys at MailChimp:
From April 12 to May 12, 2012, we had 340,591 failed login attempts. That’s the total number of times someone tried to get into MailChimp to get their work done and couldn’t remember their username and/or password, or simply mistyped. Think of how much wasted time and frustration that translates to. It’s impossible to calculate, but let’s just say it’s a lot. Of the people who struggled logging in, 68,145 had to resort to resetting their password, and 38,137 had to get a reminder about their username.

I enjoyed this article. IAE’s should pay particular attention to it as I have received a few requests for estimates to add this functionality. My favorite part of this article, however, was the mention of the “User Experience Team” – they have a User Experience team. MailChimp recognizes the importance of UX. So much so, that they have a team dedicated to it. Oh to dream.

Create a Cool Website with Fancy Scrolling Effects
This tutorial will be a walkthrough of my design process for a simple portal site that presents all of my websites and social profiles. Each website has its own individual section in a series of ‘slides’ laid out vertically. With the help of some cool jQuery plugins clever scrolling and parallax illusions are added to inject an element of fun and novelty to the site.
