Web Advertising wont work !

Yesterday, I was trying to peek into my Inbox before signing off for the day, suddenly some strange sounds of vrooming cars started coming out of my desktop speakers, I checked my media player…nothing wrong, I checked my system sounds…totally OK, then what was it ?

Later on, I figured out that it was from an automobile’s WEB AD playing in one of the popup browser windows. I felt like being cheated and fooled, but what all I can do is nothing but to close the popup and the related website immediately.

This sort of web ad experiences really frustrates and creates a negative image for the websites showcasing them. But still web advertising has a huge market with consistent growth.

Newsmap – type as interface

Newmap is a great example of using typography as interface. It visually represents Goggle News aggregator in a flash based application with beautiful typography & color codings. Newsmap does not pretend to replace the googlenews aggregator. Its objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media.

Music Video – Royksopp : Remind Me

Music has always been a great stress-buster and source of inspiration. Just take a break, listen to some words, watch some videos and we find ourselves more efficient.

Recently, i saw the video of Remind Me by Royksopp, and from that time i am just watching it again and again, its a simple scenario of a regular person’s day but that 4 minute clip is like a great information graphic in itself and has a great message too.

JUGAAD – design for requirement

Many times we come across with very smart products & solutions from non-designer people, some of them are very unconventional & interesting, and in India we call these solutions Jugaad.

The concept of Jugaad is quite similar to “Do it yourself”, where people creates or repairs things for themselves without the aid of paid professionals, but the term Jugaad is originally derived from a motor vehicle found in out-skirts of Delhi and other suburbs in North India.
