Typography Short Movie Ever
by Richard Darell

UOL + open source
Está na rede a versão beta do UOL Mais, plataforma open source do Universo Online. Pegando carona na lógica da publicação em nuvem, a proposta é que assinantes de e-mail UOL, BOL, Zip ou whatever possam compartilhar vídeos, fotos, textos e áudios num único espaço.
meu comentário: A iniciativa é excelente para testar o design a partir de estratégias de linkagens temporárias. Se o conteúdo tiver qualidade ganha destaque na home do UOL, como a divulgação de imagens inéditas do acidente aéreo em Nova York, no último dia 8.

"Think text first"
A dica é do papa Mario García:
TAKEAWAY: “Typographically speaking, nothing is more important than text, which constitutes about 75% of what one will see in a contemporary newspaper or magazine. Legibility is key here, especially when catering to audiences which may include older readers. Our Pure Design installment today tells you how to make good text type choices. ” +

Design dos anos 1970 aos 2000
Se é verdade que a web está na era do remix profundo, como afirma Lev Manovich, em que uma nova linguagem visual híbrida é formada a partir da mistura de elementos e de softwares , o que transforma completamente a noção de distribuição de conteúdo porque várias plataformas distribuem o mesmo conteúdo em formatos diferentes, ou o que Henry Jenkins chama de transmídia, é correto pensar o design informacional ainda do ponto de vista da convergência, conforme defende Mario García?
Does your newspaper Twitter?
O Twitter está mesmo na ordem do dia. Nomes de peso do design como Mario García e Alberto Cairo criaram contas no microblog.
