Camtasia Studio 6 launch!
Posted by David | Filed under Design, Ideas, TechSmith, Web
This week we launched the new Camtasia Studio 6 and with it, a new site. I was heavily involved in the design and development of the site, though, as is always the case at TechSmith a lot of people pitched in to make sure that this is a successful site.
A quick video walk-through of the site that I will be adding sound and narration to soon.
Heat map results for the initial 5000 visits, via a CrazyEgg test.

An Event Apart was awesome. Awesome!

In case you did not catch that, An Event Apart was awesome! What a conference. What speakers. All amazing. I am still unpacking my notes and digesting all the tidbits. More to come as soon as possible.
Check out the Flickr pics.
Summary of the conference.
All speakers centered their conversations around Design, Code, User Experience or Inspiration. Most covered a couple.
Zeldman: “Have empathy.” Jeffery states that a great designer must have empathy for the audience and be a great communicator. “Know your audience and know yourself” he says.

Way to go orderedlist.com/

To the guys at Ordered List a major kudos for the further development of the Fancy Zoom! I can not wait to play with this. My only question is if having all the content that is hidden until the Fancy Zoom reveals it impacts the load time. I’ve only had a second to see this and I am very excited about the prospect of using it.
Check out the video.

My Wordle – A very cool tool
Posted by David | Filed under Ideas, Mini Post, Web
Today I was introduced to Wordle.net. This is an amazingly cool site/tool. It is also a major time suck (in a good way). I wish I could have had this during my early graphic design classes where we were constantly challenged to experiment with type —this could have been a source of massive inspiration.
