Perhaps one of the most talked about websites in the last 12 months has been Nike Better World. It’s been featured in countless Web design galleries, and it still stands as an example of what a great idea and some clever design and development techniques can produce.
In this article, we’ll talk to the team behind Nike Better World to find out how the website was made. We’ll look at exactly how it was put together, and then use similar techniques to create our own parallax scrolling website. Finally, we’ll look at other websites that employ this technique to hopefully inspire you to build on these ideas and create your own variation.

Responsive Images and Context Aware Image Sizing
» Responsive Images and Context Aware Image Sizing Craig Russell Web Developer.
I’ve developed a technique that uses a server side script (in PHP) to serve up images of several different resolutions. It requires only a small amount of JavaScript and can scale quite easily.
Interesting way to accomplish responsive Image sizes…

Why we never do spec work « The CIN Blog
Why we never do spec work « The CIN Blog.
Interesting POV on doing spec work (pro bono).
Here is how the article wraps up and I tend to agree:
I’m convinced more than ever that refusing to pitch is the right thing for our business. I would rather spend my time working with clients who value and respect our time enough to pay us, than play the design lottery. If a client doesn’t want to pay for your professional time, that client isn’t worth working for, I don’t care who they are!
Thoughts?

Very interesting testing tool from Springbox. It does allow for quick display checks of ongoing development but does have a few ‘gotchas’ to watch for…
The mobile renderings do not employ any type of scaling so the emulation is not 100%.
From the website:
Preview mobile websites, design mockups, and local HTML on Mac or PC.
- Preview on iPhone 4, Palm Pre, HTC Evo, and Blackberry Storm, with more devices on the way
- Visit any URL or drag and drop local HTML, Flash, or image files
- View the same site on multiple devices
- Export PNGs of device views – perfect for portfolios
- Quick, painless installation and upgrades via Adobe AIR

5 Ways the Advertising Industry Is Preparing for a Digital Future
5 Ways the Advertising Industry Is Preparing for a Digital Future.
Last week, the world’s top brands and agencies descended on the Cannes Lions festival to discuss creativity in modern advertising and to anoint the campaigns that most effectively captured our imaginations. While the conference was renamed this year to the “International Festival of Creativity” (previously the “International Advertising Festival”), it featured an unprecedented amount of participation from blockbuster technology companies such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft.
Over the course of the week, the significant relationship between the powerful new forces in technology and the creative output from the advertising industry became quite clear. As the web increasingly empowers us to choose and share the media we care about, brands genuinely commit to creating content and experiences that thrive in our on-demand culture.
