1. So first things first – what do you do for Zemoga?

I work in Zemoga as a web designer. I’m part of the Creative Team and I’m currently designing an e-commerce site for a really cool client. But the coolest part is that I get to do a lot of other things, too. I’ve only been here for a month and I’ve already worked on branding projects and even had the chance to collaborate with the Pitch Team, participating in a really fun brainstorming session for a new client.

Over the last couple of days, Kimberly has shared some of the materials that Zemoga has created for our Spark Sessions (as well as some of the cool swag that we’ve created to promote our brand). We’re big believers in creating and refining tools that aid our processes. Of course, as head marketer at the company, I Read More-->

Barebones, simple, exclusive. These are all words that spring to mind when thinking of minimal design. Minimalism has been around for quite some time. The ability to use just what is needed and nothing more. It’s no wonder that it has been highly utilized in interactive design. After all, the requirements of designing for the web have always been built on a foundation of limits. Back in the ’90s we were restricted to only 216 colors and minuscule file sizes. But minimal interactive design is alive and well. Read More-->ive design is alive and well.

On a recent trip to the zoo with my wife and son, I realized this place was designed. Not just the signage, or the plaques describing the animals genus or place of origin. I mean the entire experience. Some may say “duh.” It’s an attraction, of course. But I’m talking Read More-->ive design is alive and well.

We’re always using this forum to give some Zemoga love to our new clients and partners. There’s nothing we love more than welcoming new members to the Zemoga family. But that doesn’t mean that we ever take our existing clients for granted. Especially when they keep giving us challenging and Read More-->ive design is alive and well.

As technologists and innovators, we’re all about the future. And when we see a threat to that future, we’re compelled to take action. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the folks at the TED Prize FOUNDATION to help out JAMIE OLIVER’S FOOD REVOLUTION. For those Read More-->ive design is alive and well.

Is it still 1995? You might think so when you read the mainstream’ press coverage of the evolving state of advertising and media. Yes magazine display advertising and newspaper classified advertising are in serious decline. But a lot of the focus of the coverage surrounding this phenomenon has been focussed on media content and how it is being subverted by the internet. “Why buy the New York Times if you can read it online for free?” is a refrain repeated in numerous stories. Digital is seen as the solution to every marketer’s problem. If only it were that easy.

While how we interact with content across various platforms is a big story, I think that (at least part of) the big picture is being missed here. Read More-->.

How would you build a great product that responds to the rapidly changing needs of your customers and the market? Would you take your time, plan every detail meticulously and wait till all portions of the project were finished before you began testing? Or would you map out your goals, build individual parts of the project first, and constantly adapt your build to react to problems or changes in the environment that occurred while you were completing your development?

If you were a 14 year old kid impatiently waiting for a video to download, you would choose the second option. After all it’s the guiding principal behind BitTorrent. And surprisingly, if you were a best practices digital developer like Zemoga, you would choose the second option as well.

While perpetual Beta has become a commonly accepted practice in the digital world (think of how many years Google labeled Gmail with that status), the idea that projects wouldn’t be built as a wholly formed entity and then tested for quality and performance is a fairly new one. But as our industry has learned more about building products to ever tighter deadlines, an “agile process” has often been identified as the best practice for creating materials. Read More-->.

I’m not talking about a smartphone, I’m talking about your actual palm.

We’ve seen demos of these kinds of kinetic interfaces before but I’m always fascinated to see how the technology has advanced. If you get pat the technical jargon in this video, you can see how something like this could be used Read More-->.

We live in an age of multi-multimedia and our final data visualization of the week does a good job of illustrating this. Brian Solis‘ Conversation infographic highlights the multiple digital platforms that can be used to communicate with the modern consumer.

Wouldn’t you stand up and take notice if you saw something like this in your next Powerpoint deck?

How many of these services are you using? And how are you conveying that to your employees and customers??
