Make My Logo Bigger Cream

[via MakeMyLogoBiggerCream ]

一直想想分享這段有趣的廣告片! 如你是設計師，你一定會愛死這後片。若你是那一個想把你的 Logo 變大一點的人，請立即購買此產品!

Yes, as a designer, it is very easy for us to make clients’ LOGO bigger, but then it is not our professional any more. IF you are a designer, you will definitely love this crazy funny advertisement. 

NOT a designer? You even make this request before? Don’t worry, you will see the reason why it is being rejected. If you don’t understand after all, then you need to pay for the cream right away in order to change your design! To be BIG is very easy!!!!! LOL!

Microsoft Zune + Xbox Design Team new Office

(via rokey.net)

I love reading Computer Art every month. The China edition is great and inexpensive. It’s only HK$28(maybe even at a lower price if you buy it in China). The English version costs around HK$170 per issue, which covers International stories. June 2007 issue contains a feature on UI/UX(UE) development in China. I always want to do more at this area.
P.S.: UI = User Interface & UX(UE) = User Experience

One of the very successful Chinese UI/UX designer introduced in the magazine is Rokey (@ p.65). Visit his website: rokey.net, it rocks! The above slide show is from his blog. It’s the new office of Microsoft Zune + Xbox Design Team. The office enviornment is very nice, though not creative enough…but it looks comfortable. I love the open area and the glass wall at the reception.

In Rokey’s interview, this is my favorite part:

Q: 作為一個優秀的 UI/UE 設計師需要具備的素質和技能是什麼?
A: “我個人認為首要有熱情，這特別重要，有熱情的設計師會從心裡想做好一個設計，會更主動地發揮自己的創意;其次，需要有非常廣的視野和知識面，知道當前最流行的軟件、網站、電子設備是什麼，知道業界正在發生什麼、知道你的對手在軒什麼;另外、對於專業技能和產品要能真正理解和認識，不能僅僅把自己當仍圖形設計工人，要思考更多，對自己與設計行業要有深刻認識。”

Summary in English: Rokey believes that “passion” is very important. A passionate designer creates everything from the heart….The other important element/skillset for a successful UI/UE design is to be knowledgable and have profound understanding towards the industry.
