Fourth Year Studio’s 2012 letterpress calendar was inspired by traditional and contemporary quilt patterns and features a different geometric pattern each month. Calendar pages are perforated so you can tear off the date portion and use the patterns as notecards, too.

資料視覺化新應用:西方舞曲的旅行地圖

資料視覺化新應用:西方舞曲的旅行地圖:



旅遊網站Thomson 把旅遊與西方舞曲歷史結合,用資料視覺化的方式呈現出過去百年來西方舞曲在世界的旅行軌跡,透過追蹤數種主流舞曲種類從發跡、擴散到演進,這張有趣的旅行地圖讓你用簡單方式一覽西方舞曲的演進與散佈歷史。


Thomson以「Bass Culture」、「Last Night a DJ Saved My Life」、「The All
Music Guide to
Electronica」等書籍與維基百科上的資料為基礎,用5年的時間作為間隔來紀錄每個音樂種類的誕生。不過Thomson也坦承這樣的研究方式並非完美,並在部落格上廣邀各界對研究方式提出想法與建議。



姑且就把學術爭議留給音樂專家,Thomson結合視覺資料化與旅行主題,無疑成功的為自己的網站創造了話題,Thomson部落客Osman
Khan的話或許能為這樣特別的數位行銷做出極佳的註解:「音樂旅行正趨流行,為了音樂節或公演而旅行有何不可?何不造訪你最喜愛音樂的出生地,然後依循它演進與其他音樂融合的歷史軌跡來一場旅行呢?」

As you can see from the photos the designer took his inspiration for the Pac In Time watch from Pa-Man, and instead of hands to tell the time there is a yellow Pac-Man.

Adobe決定停止開發移動平台的Flash Player,並將資源轉移到HTML5技術。

Adobe決定停止開發移動平台的Flash Player,並將資源轉移到HTML5技術。:

Frontierville2


在今天Adobe裁員750名北美與歐洲的全職員工之後,ZDNet又放出了更大的消息──Adobe將停止開發移動平台上的Flash Player。



根據ZDNet上刊載,由Adobe相關人士透露的消息……



Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.


未來Flash在移動平台上的發展,將專注於讓Flash開發人員可以使用Adobe AIR技術,將軟體包裝為獨立的App,在各主要軟體商店上販售。


我們將不再為了對應新的瀏覽器、作業系統版本或是硬體而更新移動平台上的Flash Player。部分持有我們原始碼授權的人可以選擇繼續開發,並釋出自己的更新版本。


我們將繼續為目前的Android與PlayBook系統持續進行錯誤修正與安全更新。



此外,根據Adobe發給合作夥伴的email資料中,大致可以總結以下的資料:



  • Adobe目前已經停止開發手機瀏覽器使用的Flash Player。


Adobe目前正將研發資源專注於……



  • 移動裝置的軟體。

  • 在電腦平台上的內容表現。(包含瀏覽器內與瀏覽器外)

  • 加大對於HTML5的投資。


完整內容應該會於明天在Adobe官方網站上線。
