Ad on the sky

The author of this photo is David Shankbone. 13 August 2006.


Did you enjoy "Design your roof"? . It was watching from God's viewpoint.

But look at this photo. It is the opposite way of advertising.
5 plane make a formation in the sky and make a white fog.
In a dot matrix printer fashion, those planes make text characters in the sky.

Though traditional sky acrobatic could makes a symbol or couple of character but it can makes 6~30 text characters. Those characters are at 7000~17000 ft above and can be seen from 30 miles away from any direction.

It's really fascinating fading form of art!

Design guide line:
1. Choose 6~12 characters. Because text will be fading soon. You need to select text carefully
2. Choose a good weather day. They might not refund your money because of bad weather.
If I could, making text at 10 minutes before sun set after raining and cleanning with rainbow will be fantastic.
3. May be color version available soon. But don't expect Blue.

She accepted and propose to exchange mobile numbers. Instead of saying her number or giving a note, she gives her mobile to him and let him input his number and she makes a call to his mobile phone.

Mobile Flirting (Part2)

Image
One day I spend my time with my new MacBook at Starbucks. Actually there is another people who use Macbook at the Starbucks located in Jungja-dong, Bundang, Korea. I just tried to search Bluetooth device nearby and found a girl's name who is seating behind me probably. I could know her name and her digital address. If I want to send a note, it is possible. You know, you can't do that through your mobile network. It can make a connection with any one in the world but it is useless to send a message to a girl overthere. A young saudi man actually use this Bluetooth flirting method to be connected with a girl. In kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is cultural barrier between boys and girls. Even a religious police can arrest a guy who violate the rule of local culture. (I hope it is a joke) But it is about a human nature. A young man is designed to fall in love with a glance from a girl. Isn't it romantic or pathetic? Of course, you can just walk to the girl and ask to go out toge...

Usability Ethic

Yes, I believe we need ethic. Ethic for usability is a core value. But with same knowlege about usability, you can do horrible anti-usability or less-horrible but still dirty job for your big boss. It is tempting when you know what people do in a typical way, you can predict and may utilize it for making more money. But if you exploit and don't share benefit with user as usability expert, you are in hell of usability. Some stupid design is actually designed for more making money. Actually it is stupid because it is short sighted for short term revenue. You can make a report how much money you could make a money from better design or you can make a report how much money you made from stupid annoying design. Why I'm sure about it? Why I'm sure usability-abuse will be ultimate failure for your business? Because user is smart enough. You have to have love for user. That's 1st principle. Example. At front page of Yahoo.com, if you click an interesting news article, you will...
