Twitter on paper
Posted on March 6, 2008 by Chris Hoskin
I have mentioned Lee and Sachi LeFever’s WIKI and RSS video’s before.
Their series of short explanatory videos (The Common Craft Show) fight complexity - with simple videos in plain language. They call their format “paperworks”. I think they are simply great.
Their latest video is all about Twitter - and again is worth [...]

Predict the appreciation of a color-combination
Posted on September 3, 2007 by Chris Hoskin
More than half a century ago, Aemelius Müller, professor at the academy of Winterthur, Switzerland, came up with a formula that could predict the appreciation of a color-combination. In other words: Müller was able to predict which combination of colors most people would probably like.
Müller’s formula predicts that these color combinations will be considered as [...]

Adobe increases visual appeal
Posted on May 4, 2007 by Chris Hoskin
