Animator Ed Barrett created these animated kill scenes for the fun little iPhone game Ready Steady Bang.
Such a perfect mix of minimalist design and good animation. It’s such a simple game — a cowboy duel — but these little animated moments are the perfect reward for winning a round.
Beautiful minimalist design, fantastic animation. Buy this iPhone game.
“The problem, though, with the Internet Of Things is that it falls apart when it starts to think about people. When big company Internet Of Things thinkers get involved they tend to spawn creepy videos about sleek people in sleek homes living optimised lives full of smart objects. These videos seem to radiate the belief that the purpose of a well-lived life is efficiency. There’s no magic or joy or silliness in it. Just an optimised, efficient existance. Perhaps that’s why the industry persists in inventing the Internet Fridge. It’s top-down design, not based on what people might fancy, but on what technologies companies are already selling.”

“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.”

Who doesn’t love a good UX design, and who doesn’t get totally frustrated with bad experience design.

Fun animation explaining what a UX designer does—obsessed with changing the world one screen at a time.

A old friend of mine often talked about a similar concept back in 99, very cool to see this coming.
A good friend and alpha geek dropped by the office today to show off his new toy. As an investor keenly interested in the theme of the quantified self what he had to show blew me away. It was a pair of ski goggles with a full on head up display feeding stats such as speed, altitude, air time, distance and so much more.
Its another step forward for capture and and display devices of our personal data. We’re in the early days of this emerging trend. But, if these goggles are any indication we have an insanely cool future ahead.
