Latest Mobile phone design from Red-Dot Award

Jmon — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 13:20:28 GMT

These are the images of the winner of Moblie phone design from Red-Dot award.
The company specializes in touch screen panel. And they designed mobile phone
based on what they do the best, touch pad.

With this phone, you can send emoticons of your own and it plays mp3s as well.
The size of the model is about 55 x 155 x 15mm so it's not too small and not too big.

But one thing I'm concerned about is that Nokia came up with something similar design last year,
and it didin't work properly on touch pad side, plus its design was out of the line.
As long as the touch pad part works well, I think this one will be the phone of the next generation.

Portfolio Website #1

This well prepared portfolio site is from a Malaysian guy, Jonathan Yuen.
I've seen many portfolio websites but this one has it's unique feeling of traditional art and latest visual interactivity. What I like the most about this site is that its navigation plan is really well prepared.
It gives the feeling of freedom rather than having a box around the contents.
Visual moves around, but not too much that the audience can concentrate on its content.
It's a worth visiting.

Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories

is the North American arm of the Corporate R&D organization of the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
They conduct application motivated basic research and advanced development in computer and communication technologies.

Across my reserach on interface designs, I've found an incredible research laboratory where they've designed touchscreen interface.

Assignment 1# - Bad bad Powerpoint!

Jmon — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 12:15:02 GMT

This ides is from a guy named Edward Trufe. He believes that using Microsft Powerpoint to do presentation is like using drugs. It sounds as if it’s going to make us beautiful, but it doesn’t. It only has frequent, serious side effects. Also audience boredom is usually a content failure, not a decoration failure. I agree with him in many ways, but at some point, some people need Powerpoint. They are not so keen about their design and they have got perfect chart and analysis. If they want to present it nicely in such a short time, it’s very effective on the audience and presenter. It might make things a bit complicated, but some audience like to see pretty things rather than boring looking charts and numbers. On the other hand, it is also true that using Powerpoint minimize your ability to illustrate your work by bullet pointing your work. So I guess it has pros and cons. If you are a good analyzer without any kind of design skills, it’s worth a try.

It's a well explained help of using track back system.
It was a little bit hard to understand but it seems very useful.
Firstly, you don't have to go to others blog just to check whether he has left any comment or not.
Secondly, it keeps everyone on the track, meaning they can be more anticipating on blogging.
Thirdly, it's so easy to share their entries of blog.
I'll keep on trying until I get it right.

Puzzle Pirates!

Jmon — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 15:58:04 GMT

Welcome to Pirates' world and meet my Piyoneska!
The concept of the game is really good.
They've combined most enjoyed puzzle games online together and made people to stay in the game to play other games. Furthermore you can have your own crew members and become one of the community.
The graphic isn't too bad, they are all well arranged and presented.
I tried few times and it actually got me hooked onto it.
I've joined one of the crew and played game together with them. And when you actually play puzzle games with another, it's much more fun than you think.

So are you ready sail? Aye Aye!

You can start your journey here!
