  Designing for television Design | (2)

  I just metioned that the big screen in your living room is something completely different from your computer screen. For the people that want to know more Lasse Klein recently did a very good article on how to design for the television screen. He promises to keep this article updated as well. Could turn out to be a very good reference for television design.

  Hybrid images Design, siggraph, siggraph2006 | (3)

  I'm at Siggraph 2006 and will try to post some of the stuff that I find interesting through the week. No particular order or focus. Just notes along the way during this highly interesting conference. You can read more about Siggraph over at the official ACM Siggraph site. To put it short, this annual conference is the world's biggest conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques. So for my first little note. I just finished a session by Dr. Aude Oliva, Antonio Torralba and Philippe G. Schyns. It was about what they call hybrid images. Images that change based on the distance ...

  Making a truly personal presentation Design, Presentations | (6)

  At the EBU Connect conference earlier this month I experienced an excellent presentation by Patrick Damsted. It was a very good example of utilizing one of the most important advantages of doing a presentation. The fact that the presenter is there in person. I have watched too many presentations where this advantage has been wasted. Presentations where a person goes on stage, reads through a bunch of bullet points and goes off stage. Why bother? Why spend your money and time travelling to the venue at all? If you are there to read some bullet points I can give you some valuable ...

  How to make illustrations even if you can’t draw Design, Presentations | (22)

  I really hate clipart. So much that I at some point decided to start making my own illustrations for my documents, presentations and my blog. Now I get all these nice compliments about my childish drawings. They seem to work well in my presentations because they add a personal touch. Doing presentations is a personal thing. The fact that you, yes you is there to present. People tend to appreciate the fact that you have spent the extra time adding your own special finish to the slides. One little problem when I started was of course that I can't draw. I made ...

  How to ridicule a bandwidth thief Design, blogging | (25)

  How a left wing blogger suddenly encourages people to vote right wing. You have a shop and the store on the other side of the road puts up this beautiful poster in their window. You can't afford such a nice poster but you get this great idea. You put a mirror in your own shop reflecting that particular beautiful poster from the other side. This is a great idea until the shop on the other side change the poster to something that you really, really don't want in your window. Recently I went trough the raw traffic logs of eirikso.com. The logs from ...

  How to make a cool chair for your kids Design, How to... | (11)

  I made one of these two years ago, and as the picture indicates. I need one more. Of course I didn't find my original drawing and had to use the old one as a basis for my measures. Now I am posting this here for future reference. The tools What you need 2 wooden plates of 40 x 40 cm 2 wooden plates of 60 x 40 cm 8 angle backets I used two plates of 120 x 40 cm. One cut in two parts and one cut in three parts. Continue Reading...

  Usability and error messages Design, internet, marketing | (3)

  I'm using Bloglines as my RSS reader. I like the fact that it is independent of the computer I use and that it lets me keep a list of clips and a blog of links that I can follow up later. Today when I tried to access it the site was down for maintenance. Bloglines seem to have systems that let them maintain and keep the service running without having to take it down often, but today they apparently had to take it down for a short while. What kind of message they give to their users while the system is down ...

  Experimenting with Lightbox for WordPress Design, WordPress, blogging | (11)

  Most of the pictures in this blog are thumbnails with a bigger version of the picture behind it. If you click the picture it will simply open the large version in a blank page. There is a nice java script based plugin for WordPress that gives a bit of extra functionallity for pictures. When you click a thumbnail the bigger version will open on top of the same page with the rest of the page "dimmed". The question is: what do you think? Leave a comment here if you have any thoughts... The plugin seems to automatically work on all pictures in this blog. ...

  One year up for download Design | (0)

  I have now posted all the original pictures that I used to make my little time lapse experiment. Who knows? There might be more creative ways to utilize 46 pictures of the same frame taken over one whole year...? The pictures I have posted are the ones that I have adjusted to show the exact same framing. Unfortunately I lost the EXIF-information while editing the pictures in Photoshop. I used layers and didn't plan my work good enough. All the pictures ended up with the EXIF info from picture number one... If there's any interest I can post the original files from the ...
