Tools like Balsamiq make it easier than ever to participate in the design of user interfaces, and that’s a great thing.
The problem, as you may have already discovered, is that creating products that are easy to use is actually quite hard!
Information architecture, interaction design, and copywriting are just a few of the elements involved.

There’s a lot of art and science behind creating a lovable user interface.
This site is designed to teach you the basics with an easy process to follow, and pointers for where to learn more.
The process we illustrate has three layers: Discovery, Strategy and Design.

Andreas Barhainski — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:40:34 +0000

With April Fools’ Day right around the corner, YouTube announced it will be shutting down after eight years in business and will no longer accept videos. The news comes, of course, just before April Fools’ Day.

The company teamed up with The Onion to create a YouTube-star-studded video explaining how the site was set up as part of a contest to find the best home video on the Internet.

“We are so close to the end,” Tom Liston, communications director at YouTube, said in the video. “Tonight at midnight, YouTube.com will no longer be accepting entries. After eight amazing years, it’s finally time to review everything that has been uploaded to our site and begin the process of selecting a winner.”

Hello World! Processing is a documentary on creative coding that explores the role that ideas such as process, experimentation and algorithm play in this creative field featuring artists, designers and code enthusiasts. Based on a series of interviews to some of the leading figures of the Processing open programming platform community, the documentary is built itself as a continuous stream of archived references, projects and concepts shared by this community.

It is the first chapter of a documentary series on three programming languages -Processing, Open Frameworks y Pure data- that have increased the role of coding in the practice of artists, designers and creators around the world.

The series explores the creative possibilities expanded by these open source tools and the importance of their growing online communities.

Authentic Weather App

Andreas Barhainski — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:54:15 +0000

“It’s fucking raining.”

Tobias van Schneider created yet another (but great) weather app!

Nowadays everybody is creating a weather app and everybody is using the same set of climacons, one design is prettier than the other, but in the end it’s just a weather app.

That’s probably why Tobias created this app: The app is pretty simple, it’s just the fuck*ng weather outside if you don’t have a window to look outside – It’s like a digital window, impressive huh?

Rain – Exhibition in 3 Parts

Andreas Barhainski — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 11:44:33 +0000

Rain (2012)
is an abstract artistic interpretation of raindrops falling on a window pane.
The idea for the work “Rain” came from the observation of patterns emerging from the random forms created when rain falls onto a window. As with LIA’s other works, „Rain“ begins by finding patterns from randomness/chaos in the natural environment, and then explores, extends, changes and abstracts these patterns via software to create a continuously changing visual output.
In the context of this exhibition at Kunsthaus Graz, the work „Rain“ is presented in several ways: first, in the form of a wall-mounted box/frame where inputs can be given to change the formation of patterns; second, in the form of a projection which autonomously moves through all the possible input states; and third, in the form of digital prints captured from visual moments selected by the artist.

Software: LIA; Enclosure design and electronics: Damian Stewart
