Clock Mini IconNovember 19th, 2010 written by

Thanks to Alessandro Gubitosi, who just send me this poster with PICOL icons, which promotes the Ubuntu in Italy and can be used by the rest of the world. It´s great PICOL can help the great and open Ubuntu project with it´s own openness. It would be great to have PICOL as UI icons in Ubuntu

Alessandro is a member of “Gruppo Promozione Ubuntu” (the Italian Ubuntu Marketing Team). He is active in the fields of green marketing, art direction and web development. You can get more information on Alessandro on his website www.gotanotherway.com.

That´s not all Alessandro did with and especially for PICOL. He also mentioned as an aside that he did PICOL generator. THAT´S AWESOME — I LOVE THE INTERNET. He built it overnight! That´s version 1.1beta and he wants to push it forward.

I will keep you updated on the PICOL generator.

By the way this is the first post on this blog matching all categories (Contributor Work, Diagrams, Icons in use, New Icons & [Great] News).

Just finished a new clip with PICOL icons for Navia Systems, a company which was founded in 2007 by four MIT doctoral students. The company’s goal is to help people make more rational, data-driven decisions by designing and building machines that make good judgements in the presence of uncertainty.
The clip exaplains the concept of probabilistic computing, also known as Bayesian inference. Enjoy watching it.
For more information you can visit the website of Navia Systems.

Here you can watch the clip with some additional information on my portfolio.

Advertising on the third screen
in the fifth dimension

Clock Mini IconJanuary 4th, 2010 written by

Here I found a nice presentation by Aaron Richard he made together with Freestyle Interactive, Heat, and Wieden + Kennedy on trends and innovation in mobile marketing.

»The purpose of this deck was to delve into advertising on the third screen (mobile) in this new fifth dimension—where data and information exists in a cloud all around you. This fifth dimension isn’t quite tangible without a device, but if you have an iPhone you can look at a restaurant through your phone and see every review that people left on Yelp or all the tweets tagged with that location.« Aaron Richard
