I am soooo excited about this. For years I have been waiting to see if the underwater world would become apart of the Google entourage.
Now the internet company plans to take on one of the last bastions of the unknown: the depths of the ocean.
At a high-profile event in San Francisco, Google is expected [...]
As many people know one of my pet peeves is nomenclature and titling in the world of design. If we could establish a skills matrix and positions that where universal it would provide a clearer path for career development and allow us to communicate with a similar language.

Fireworks had us excited with work flows that could be reused in flash, newer [...]
Ahh the design process. How do you make it work, who should be involved when. Who should sign off what? Well due to the requests of many colleagues I created this simple visual chart of the design process.
After pitching, hiring and establishing a mograph team at Riptown it was time for the Art Director & Motion team to take a big bite by creating a title sequence for “Bodog Battle of the Bands.” The Art & Design team did an amazing job with the visual treatment and pacing. The project was a [...]
Miles spent the weekend working on a Riptown SLAM project. SLAM Projects also known as Deep Dives (made famous by IDEO) are projects in which you are given extremely aggressive time lines to accomplish huge amounts of design work. They are usually 2 -3 days in length.
