Zombify: Photoshop made easy (for zombies)

January 19th, 2010 Mitch Brisebois 2 comments

This has been around since the launch of the Zombieland web site promoting the movie. The flash app buried inside the site is a brilliant execution of UI. It takes many complex / abstract concepts of graphic tools and makes them usable - for the masses. The first improvement - the controls ...

March 3rd, 2008 Mitch Brisebois No comments

By and large, creating effective non-boring "how-to" videos for software is difficult to do. The Russian marketeers for Google have come up with an awesome twist! (and maybe it's not really the Wiggles... but it sure looks like them!) via AdArena [tags]GMail, product-videos, Russian-Google[/tags]
