#Snapchat Discover feature is exactly why they didnt sell to Facebook for 1.3b

by | Mar 14, 2015

A lot of you may be wondering whats up with Snapchats latest update Discover. Snapchat has made it clear to its users and audience that this is NOT social media. From their press release, "This is not social media. Social media companies tell us what to read based on what’s most recent or most popular. We see it differently. We count on editors and artists, not clicks and shares, to determine what’s important."  Snapchat Discover feature still has that personal instant moment feel as each of these stories only last 24 hours and have been hand curated by creatives as Snapchat has elected to call them.

Wireframing with Adobe Illustrator

Wireframing with Adobe Illustrator

by | Mar 10, 2015

Wireframes are always a fun part of the design process. It's the stage where you get to see all the interactions that are needed in order for an app or a website to work well. The best way to make wireframes is to use the tool that you don't have to think much about to use. For this reason I love using Adobe Illustrator whenever creating wireframes, and these are some my tips, tricks, and example of how I use Illustrator to get ideas on "paper". Pros of using Adobe Illustrator You only need to know a couple things in order to be able to use the program well. It's parametric, so every dimension can be set using a numerical value.

The following are some great tips on how to reduce the speed of your site to the point where even your own grandmother won't use it.
