5 of the Best New User Experiences of 2010

http://mashable.com/2010/11/28/best-ux-ui/

I saw this on a friends posting on Face Book and is a useful reference for ui thinking and approach.

If I can highlight two products.

This is a great new website / product offering that makes finding a flight much easier. I love the fact that that they have re-approached this area. This strikes me once again that design is simply a subject of questions and answers and the better the designer the better his or shes ability to ask different and better questions about the same old problems. This ability divides us from them.

Also, I love that the designer focuses on quality of product at the end of the interview. If you are looking for a string to tie a design team together this is a good one!

This is a Flip board app and I believe is just the tip of a much bigger iceberg. I love the way this product is a symbol of the customisable culture that apple struck upon with the app store and iPhone.

Channel 4 spots - Rudd Studio

"There are few greater challenges in brand design than taking an iconic, well-loved, universally recognised brand... and making it better. Channel 4 approached us with this task. It was to be a thorough revamp, across the entire channel and in its corporate activities. We took the essence of the ‘4’ and reworked it to allow for a more flexible, more fluid branding. We used the contrast between the ‘filled’ and ‘unfilled’ spaces in the four to give it depth and greater narrative capacity."

SuperStupidBros - Stunning artwork

SuperStupidBros is a small Berlin- based design studio. The business, set up by two brothers, works exclusively with close friends and designers. Like in a band, there are no employees but rather members, who know each others flaws and flavors. Work should be fun and most of all work has to rock.

"Kenny Lindström’s and my wallpaper is finally on place at North Kingdom’s kitchen in Stockholm. I named the work “En kopp kaffe” which means a cup of coffee in Swedish. We also added a couple of lines to the illustration to make it more as a part of a story;

Her coffee smelt nice, but it felt like somebody was watching her. Even if the morning was chilly, she didn’t understand why her coffee had a touch of salt.

Like a deep lake of oil, her drink now took on a new dimension. The other side of the kingdom was now presented."

North Kingdom

Get your energy back’ 3D projection mapping for Toyota

http://theloungeblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/films-driving-force-3d-projection.html?spref=fb

The ‘Get your energy back’ 3D projection mapping for Toyota, delivers one of those ‘can that really happen?’ moments. But for something so focused on cutting-edge technology, I was surprised by how human it felt. From the initial beam of light, as the car comes to life, through to how it interacts with the environment gives the product real personality.

When using the latest technology to bring ideas to life, you always run the risk of the work feeling like a gimmick. This isn’t. It doesn’t use technology for the sake of it. The execution really delivers the proposition and makes you feel this car is something special.

Impressively, the idea works not only as a live experience, but also as a video. The way it blurs the line between fantasy and reality (look out for the fascinated toddler) not only merits a second viewing, but also makes you want to share it with others.

The ‘behind the scenes’ video is just a fascinating - giving you access to the sheer level of detail that makes it work so well (from all angles). The idea has clearly been cared for throughout the creative process. And this is what turns a good idea into a great one.
