Wireframing for RIA

Well, web2.0 has brought RIA  with him (or vice-verse) and that means a lot of UX/ID/UI designers are fighting to express the behavior of those new type of web applications.
After exploring the different possibilities for expressing RIA behaviors I came to the conclusion that there are 2 great ways for doin it:

1. For client work – Guided Wireframe Narrative – it is just great! – found this great article about it.
2. If you develop your own application – just sketch and immediately prototype it in html (37s way…).

Try it.

Exciting interfaces

I really love it when companies are challenging professionals to provide them with new and ground breaking, breath taking solutions.

This time it is Getty Images who asked five companies to help them out with some new and innovative interfaces to be used for exploring images.

And so: Sumona, Less Rain, TBG, Tomato and Great Works were recruited.

It’s not that easy to get me excited.

Sight, Sound and Motion

You don’t have to cut yourself an ear to realize that!

The question is:
How to touch users’ emotions in order to create an engaging and compelling user experience on the web?
