al NATGEO KIDS Branding Redesign Proposal By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Mon, 04 May 2020 14:36:50 +0000 NATGEO KIDS Branding Redesign Proposal abduzeedoMay 04, 2020 Negro Studio got a call from their friends at PLENTY to work with them on some proposals for NATGEO kids branding (rebranding). I cannot imagine the excitement that receiving a call like that might have been. For me National Geographic is one of those iconic brands. The yellow rectangle is so simple, yet recognized everywhere. It’s funny to think of these memorable brands. If I ask you the brand of a blog or social media influencer would you be able to describe it? Not for instant think about a brand like National Geographic, it’s simply a yellow outlined rectangle. I know, this is not really relevant for this post, but I just wanted to highlight how cool it might have been to work on these explorations for the Natgeo Kids redesign. Here are some boards of what they've been working on! Branding Credits Client: Natgeo Kids Art Direction: PLENTY / Negro Studio Design & Concepts: Negro Studio Producer: PLENTY Full Article

This is the work from How Wei Zhong who art directed this massive campaign for Nike Shanghai in collaboration with the folks from ILoveDust.

To share a little bit of background on this project (in their words). “Qiang Diao” is Chinese for confidence, swagger and game. And in a city as image and style conscious as Shanghai, Qiang Diao is something many people want for themselves. Nike wanted Shanghai athletes to know that sports can offer you more than fitness. We created OOH celebrating Shanghainese athletes well-known for their strong personalities and, of course, having Qiang Diao. About How Wei Zhong How Wei Zhong is an art director at W+K Shanghai based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You should definitely check his work, it’s filled with incredible works for brands.

al My Nostalgia is back with Streets of Rage 4 By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 06 May 2020 16:31:28 +0000 My Nostalgia is back with Streets of Rage 4 abduzeedoMay 06, 2020 I grew up playing video games. My first console was the Atari 2600. The games were quite primitive, literally a few pixels on the screen moving. Remember, that was the 80s. In the 90s my brother and I got the Sega Mega-Drive (Genesis in US). It was a massive improvement in graphics. A 16bit console, whoah! There are incredible games, however the one that marked was Streets of Rage. I remember seeing some kids playing at this shop and I was blown away. I wanted to play it. We got the game a few weeks later and we used to play it all the time. The soundtrack was phenomenal. Fast-forward a few years and the second installment was released. Everything was better. Graphics, music. My love for the franchise was renewed till this day. I have both games on my phone and tablet. Last week Streets of Rage 4 was released. The long awaited release for me since I learned it was in the works. I got it for the Switch and have been playing every single day and my expectations, which were very high, were met. The game is awesome. The pixelated graphics are no longer. The creators of the series decided to adopt a hand drawn clean look and it works really well. The graphics are beautiful, the scenarios have that 80s gritty look and are full of details. The music doesn’t disappoint either. I’ve been actually listening to the soundtrack on Spotify. As you can see, I am a fan and this game deserves a feature here on Abduzeedo. Streets of Rage Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat 'em up games developed and published by SEGA in the 1990s. Famously known for its non stop action and electronic dance influenced music - scored by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima - the series has gained the status of cult classic throughout the years. It is considered one of the best beat 'em up series of all time. After many years, Axel and Blaze are finally picking up the fight where they left. Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem. Streets of Rage 4 recalls classic gameplay but it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp thanks to the expertise of Guard Crush Games and Dotemu. Whether players gang up with a friend or clean up the city solo, Streets of Rage 4 is a skull-bashing, chicken-chomping delight all set to a thumping soundtrack sure to get your blood pumping.

I mentioned 'accident' because 'the images are the results of errors in particle simulations'. I think they are super stunning and crispy. We took the liberty to share Crtomir's entire collection and their 'download links'. You can download the 8K wallpapers, this feature is a reminder of what we used to do back in the days. We are definitely living in different times but it's always a nice reminder to remember what we were made of. These images are the results of errors in particle simulations.

The details about the project are quite scarce, they didn’t add any description. Based on the work itself I assume it’s for a design studio/agency. The presentation is beautiful. The color palette is also very well selected. The logo plays with white space to mix the lightning and the P. They do an excellent job, however I am not really a fan of the shadow. It adds a good depth, but in some of the examples, the shadow feels too strong. Perhaps, just the pure symbol without any effect would suffice. What are your thoughts?

After four years of pouring his heart, soul, and money into his tech startup, it blew up. He lost everything – including himself. In a moment of desperation, a vow deep within came to the surface: to love himself. Though it was a bit of a foreign concept, he set out to undo the misery in his head through the lens of love.

al How to Foster Real-Time Client Engagement During Moderated Research By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0500 When we conduct moderated research, like user interviews or usability tests, for our clients, we encourage them to observe as many sessions as possible. We find when clients see us interview their users, and get real-time responses, they’re able to learn about the needs of their users in real-time and be more active participants in the process. One way we help clients feel engaged with the process during remote sessions is to establish a real-time communication backchannel that empowers clients to flag responses they’d like to dig into further and to share their ideas for follow-up questions. There are several benefits to establishing a communication backchannel for moderated sessions:Everyone on the team, including both internal and client team members, can be actively involved throughout the data collection process rather than waiting to passively consume findings.Team members can identify follow-up questions in real-time which allows the moderator to incorporate those questions during the current session, rather than just considering them for future sessions.Subject matter experts can identify more detailed and specific follow-up questions that the moderator may not think to ask.Even though the whole team is engaged, a single moderator still maintains control over the conversation which creates a consistent experience for the participant.If you’re interested in creating your own backchannel, here are some tips to make the process work smoothly:Use the chat tool that is already being used on the project. In most cases, we use a joint Slack workspace for the session backchannel but we’ve also used Microsoft Teams.Create a dedicated channel like #moderated-sessions. Conversation in this channel should be limited to backchannel discussions during sessions. This keeps the communication consolidated and makes it easier for the moderator to stay focused during the session.Keep communication limited. Channel participants should ask basic questions that are easy to consume quickly. Supplemental commentary and analysis should not take place in the dedicated channel.Use emoji responses. The moderator can add a quick thumbs up to indicate that they’ve seen a question.Introducing backchannels for communication during remote moderated sessions has been a beneficial change to our research process. It not only provides an easy way for clients to stay engaged during the data collection process but also increases the moderator’s ability to focus on the most important topics and to ask the most useful follow-up questions.

al Markdown Comes Alive! Part 1, Basic Editor By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0500 In my last post, I covered what LiveView is at a high level. In this series, we’re going to dive deeper and implement a LiveView powered Markdown editor called Frampton. This series assumes you have some familiarity with Phoenix and Elixir, including having them set up locally. Check out Elizabeth’s three-part series on getting started with Phoenix for a refresher. This series has a companion repository published on GitHub. Get started by cloning it down and switching to the starter branch. You can see the completed application on master. Our goal today is to make a Markdown editor, which allows a user to enter Markdown text on a page and see it rendered as HTML next to it in real-time. We’ll make use of LiveView for the interaction and the Earmark package for rendering Markdown. The starter branch provides some styles and installs LiveView. Rendering Markdown Let’s set aside the LiveView portion and start with our data structures and the functions that operate on them. To begin, a Post will have a body, which holds the rendered HTML string, and title. A string of markdown can be turned into HTML by calling Post.render(post, markdown). I think that just about covers it! First, let’s define our struct in lib/frampton/post.ex: defmodule Frampton.Post do defstruct body: "", title: "" def render(%__MODULE{} = post, markdown) do # Fill me in! end end Now the failing test (in test/frampton/post_test.exs): describe "render/2" do test "returns our post with the body set" do markdown = "# Hello world!" assert Post.render(%Post{}, markdown) == {:ok, %Post{body: "<h1>Hello World</h1> "}} end end Our render method will just be a wrapper around Earmark.as_html!/2 that puts the result into the body of the post. Add {:earmark, "~> 1.4.3"} to your deps in mix.exs, run mix deps.get and fill out render function: def render(%__MODULE{} = post, markdown) do html = Earmark.as_html!(markdown) {:ok, Map.put(post, :body, html)} end Our test should now pass, and we can render posts! [Note: we’re using the as_html! method, which prints error messages instead of passing them back to the user. A smarter version of this would handle any errors and show them to the user. I leave that as an exercise for the reader…] Time to play around with this in an IEx prompt (run iex -S mix in your terminal): iex(1)> alias Frampton.Post Frampton.Post iex(2)> post = %Post{} %Frampton.Post{body: "", title: ""} iex(3)> {:ok, updated_post} = Post.render(post, "# Hello world!") {:ok, %Frampton.Post{body: "<h1>Hello world!</h1> ", title: ""}} iex(4)> updated_post %Frampton.Post{body: "<h1>Hello world!</h1> ", title: ""} Great! That’s exactly what we’d expect. You can find the final code for this in the render_post branch. LiveView Editor Now for the fun part: Editing this live! First, we’ll need a route for the editor to live at: /editor sounds good to me. LiveViews can be rendered from a controller, or directly in the router. We don’t have any initial state, so let's go straight from a router. First, let's put up a minimal test. In test/frampton_web/live/editor_live_test.exs: defmodule FramptonWeb.EditorLiveTest do use FramptonWeb.ConnCase import Phoenix.LiveViewTest test "the editor renders" do conn = get(build_conn(), "/editor") assert html_response(conn, 200) =~ "data-test="editor"" end end This test doesn’t do much yet, but notice that it isn’t live view specific. Our first render is just the same as any other controller test we’d write. The page’s content is there right from the beginning, without the need to parse JavaScript or make API calls back to the server. Nice. To make that test pass, add a route to lib/frampton_web/router.ex. First, we import the LiveView code, then we render our Editor: import Phoenix.LiveView.Router # … Code skipped ... # Inside of `scope "/"`: live "/editor", EditorLive Now place a minimal EditorLive module, in lib/frampton_web/live/editor_live.ex: defmodule FramptonWeb.EditorLive do use Phoenix.LiveView def render(assigns) do ~L""" <div data-test=”editor”> <h1>Hello world!</h1> </div> """ end def mount(_params, _session, socket) do {:ok, socket} end end And we have a passing test suite! The ~L sigil designates that LiveView should track changes to the content inside. We could keep all of our markup in this render/1 method, but let’s break it out into its own template for demonstration purposes. Move the contents of render into lib/frampton_web/templates/editor/show.html.leex, and replace EditorLive.render/1 with this one liner: def render(assigns), do: FramptonWeb.EditorView.render("show.html", assigns). And finally, make an EditorView module in lib/frampton_web/views/editor_view.ex: defmodule FramptonWeb.EditorView do use FramptonWeb, :view import Phoenix.LiveView end Our test should now be passing, and we’ve got a nicely separated out template, view and “live” server. We can keep markup in the template, helper functions in the view, and reactive code on the server. Now let’s move forward to actually render some posts! Handling User Input We’ve got four tasks to accomplish before we are done: Take markdown input from the textarea Send that input to the LiveServer Turn that raw markdown into HTML Return the rendered HTML to the page. Event binding To start with, we need to annotate our textarea with an event binding. This tells the liveview.js framework to forward DOM events to the server, using our liveview channel. Open up lib/frampton_web/templates/editor/show.html.leex and annotate our textarea: <textarea phx-keyup="render_post"></textarea> This names the event (render_post) and sends it on each keyup. Let’s crack open our web inspector and look at the web socket traffic. Using Chrome, open the developer tools, navigate to the network tab and click WS. In development you’ll see two socket connections: one is Phoenix LiveReload, which polls your filesystem and reloads pages appropriately. The second one is our LiveView connection. If you let it sit for a while, you’ll see that it's emitting a “heartbeat” call. If your server is running, you’ll see that it responds with an “ok” message. This lets LiveView clients know when they've lost connection to the server and respond appropriately. Now, type some text and watch as it sends down each keystroke. However, you’ll also notice that the server responds with a “phx_error” message and wipes out our entered text. That's because our server doesn’t know how to handle the event yet and is throwing an error. Let's fix that next. Event handling We’ll catch the event in our EditorLive module. The LiveView behavior defines a handle_event/3 callback that we need to implement. Open up lib/frampton_web/live/editor_live.ex and key in a basic implementation that lets us catch events: def handle_event("render_post", params, socket) do IO.inspect(params) {:noreply, socket} end The first argument is the name we gave to our event in the template, the second is the data from that event, and finally the socket we’re currently talking through. Give it a try, typing in a few characters. Look at your running server and you should see a stream of events that look something like this: There’s our keystrokes! Next, let’s pull out that value and use it to render HTML. Rendering Markdown Lets adjust our handle_event to pattern match out the value of the textarea: def handle_event("render_post", %{"value" => raw}, socket) do Now that we’ve got the raw markdown string, turning it into HTML is easy thanks to the work we did earlier in our Post module. Fill out the body of the function like this: {:ok, post} = Post.render(%Post{}, raw) IO.inspect(post) If you type into the textarea you should see output that looks something like this: Perfect! Lastly, it’s time to send that rendered html back to the page. Returning HTML to the page In a LiveView template, we can identify bits of dynamic data that will change over time. When they change, LiveView will compare what has changed and send over a diff. In our case, the dynamic content is the post body. Open up show.html.leex again and modify it like so: <div class="rendered-output"> <%= @post.body %> </div> Refresh the page and see: Whoops! The @post variable will only be available after we put it into the socket’s assigns. Let’s initialize it with a blank post. Open editor_live.ex and modify our mount/3 function: def mount(_params, _session, socket) do post = %Post{} {:ok, assign(socket, post: post)} end In the future, we could retrieve this from some kind of storage, but for now, let's just create a new one each time the page refreshes. Finally, we need to update the Post struct with user input. Update our event handler like this: def handle_event("render_post", %{"value" => raw}, %{assigns: %{post: post}} = socket) do {:ok, post} = Post.render(post, raw) {:noreply, assign(socket, post: post) end Let's load up http://localhost:4000/editor and see it in action. Nope, that's not quite right! Phoenix won’t render this as HTML because it’s unsafe user input. We can get around this (very good and useful) security feature by wrapping our content in a raw/1 call. We don’t have a database and user processes are isolated from each other by Elixir. The worst thing a malicious user could do would be crash their own session, which doesn’t bother me one bit. Check the edit_posts branch for the final version. Conclusion That’s a good place to stop for today. We’ve accomplished a lot! We’ve got a dynamically rendering editor that takes user input, processes it and updates the page. And we haven’t written any JavaScript, which means we don’t have to maintain or update any JavaScript. Our server code is built on the rock-solid foundation of the BEAM virtual machine, giving us a great deal of confidence in its reliability and resilience. In the next post, we’ll tackle making a shared editor, allowing multiple users to edit the same post. This project will highlight Elixir’s concurrency capabilities and demonstrate how LiveView builds on them to enable some incredible user experiences. Full Article Code Back-end Engineering
al Our New Normal, Together By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0400 As the world works to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our thoughts are foremost with those already ill from the virus and those on the frontlines, slowing its spread. The bravery and commitment of healthcare workers everywhere is an inspiration. While Viget’s physical offices are effectively closed, we’re continuing to work with our clients on projects that evolve by the day. Viget has been working with distributed teams to varying degrees for most of our 20-year history, and while we’re comfortable with the tools and best practices that make doing so effective, we realize that some of our clients are learning as they go. We’re here to help. These are unprecedented times, but our business playbook is clear: Take care of each other. We’re in this together. Our People Team is meeting with everyone on our staff to confirm their work-from-home situation. Do they have family or roommates they can rely on in an emergency? How are they feeling physically and mentally? Do they have what they need to be productive? As a team, we’re working extra hard to communicate. Andy hosts and records video calls to answer questions anyone has about the crisis, and our weekly staff meeting schedule will continue. Recognizing that our daily informal group lunches are a vital social glue in our offices, Aubrey has organized a virtual lunch table Hangout, allowing our now fully-distributed team to catch up over video. It ensures we have some laughs and helps keep us feeling connected. Our project teams are well-versed in remote collaboration, but we understand that not all client projects can proceed as planned. We’re doing our best to accommodate evolving schedules while keeping the momentum on as many projects as possible. For all of our clients, we’re making clear that we think long-term. We’re partners through this, and can adapt to help our clients not just weather the storm, but come through it stronger when possible. Some clients have been forced to pause work entirely, while others are busier than ever. Viget has persevered through many downturns -- the dot com crash, 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, and a few self-inflicted close-calls. In retrospect, it’s easy to reflect on how these situations made us stronger, but mid-crisis it can be hard to stay positive. The consistent lesson has been that taking care of each other -- co-workers, clients, partners, community peers -- is what gets us through. It motivates our hard work, it focuses our priorities and collaboration, and inspires us to do what needs to be done. I don’t know for certain how this crisis will play out, but I know that all of us at Viget will be doing everything we can to support each other as we go through it together.

al CLI Equivalents for Common MAMP PRO and Sequel Pro Tasks By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0400 Working on website front ends I sometimes use MAMP PRO to manage local hosts and Sequel Pro to manage databases. Living primarily in my text editor, a terminal, and a browser window, moving to these click-heavy dedicated apps can feel clunky. Happily, the tasks I have most frequently turned to those apps for —starting and stopping servers, creating new hosts, and importing, exporting, deleting, and creating databases— can be done from the command line. I still pull up MAMP PRO if I need to change a host's PHP version or work with its other more specialized settings, or Sequel Pro to quickly inspect a database, but for the most part I can stay on the keyboard and in my terminal. Here's how: Command Line MAMP PRO You can start and stop MAMP PRO's servers from the command line. You can even do this when the MAMP PRO desktop app isn't open. Note: MAMP PRO's menu icon will not change color to reflect the running/stopped status when the status is changed via the command line. Start the MAMP PRO servers: /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd startServers Stop the MAMP PRO servers: /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd stopServers Create a host (replace host_name and root_path): /Applications/MAMP PRO.app/Contents/MacOS/MAMP PRO cmd createHost host_name root_path MAMP PRO-friendly Command Line Sequel Pro Note: if you don't use MAMP PRO, just replace the /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql with mysql. In all of the following commands, replace username with your user name (locally this is likely root) and database_name with your database name. The -p (password) flag with no argument will trigger an interactive password prompt. This is more secure than including your password in the command itself (like -pYourPasswordHere). Of course, if you're using the default password root is not particular secure to begin with so you might just do -pYourPasswordHere. Setting the -h (host) flag to localhost or 127.0.0.1 tells mysql to look at what's on localhost. With the MAMP PRO servers running, that will be the MAMP PRO databases. # with the MAMP PRO servers running, these are equivalent: # /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h 127.0.0.1 other_options # and # /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost other_options /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql mysql_options # enter. opens an interactive mysql session mysql> some command; # don't forget the semicolon mysql> exit; Create a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` with your username, which is `root` by default /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p -e "create database database_name" or # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p # and then enter mysql> create database database_name; # don't forget the semicolon mysql> exit MAMP PRO's databases are stored in /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db so to confirm that it worked you can ls /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db # will output the available mysql versions. For example I have mysql56_2018-11-05_16-25-13 mysql57 # If it isn't clear which one you're after, open the main MAMP PRO and click # on the MySQL "servers and services" item. In my case it shows "Version: 5.7.26" # Now look in the relevant MySQL directory ls /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/db/mysql57 # the newly created database should be in the list Delete a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p -e "drop database database_name" Export a dump of a local database. Note that this uses mysqldump not mysql. # to export an uncompressed file # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u username -p database_name > the/output/path.sql # to export a compressed file # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u username -p database_name | gzip -c > the/output/path.gz Export a local dump from an external database over SSH. Note that this uses mysqldump not mysql. # replace `ssh-user`, `ssh_host`, `mysql_user`, `database_name`, and the output path # to end up with an uncompressed file ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysqldump -u mysql_user -p database_name | gzip -c" | gunzip > the/output/path.sql # to end up with a compressed file ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysqldump -u mysql_user -p database_name | gzip -c" > the/output/path.gz Import a local database dump into a local database # with the MAMP PRO servers running # replace `username` (`root` by default) and `database_name` /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -h localhost -u username -p database_name < the/dump/path.sql Import a local database dump into a remote database over SSH. Use care with this one. But if you are doing it with Sequel Pro —maybe you are copying a Craft site's database from a production server to a QA server— you might as well be able to do it on the command line. ssh ssh_user@ssh_host "mysql -u username -p remote_database_name" < the/local/dump/path.sql For me, using the command line instead of the MAMP PRO and Sequel Pro GUI means less switching between keyboard and mouse, less opening up GUI features that aren't typically visible on my screen, and generally better DX. Give it a try! And while MAMP Pro's CLI is limited to the essentials, command line mysql of course knows no limits. If there's something else you use Sequel Pro for, you may be able to come up with a mysql CLI equivalent you like even better. Full Article Code Front-end Engineering Back-end Engineering
