10 Principles Of Effective Web Design Smashing Magazine
- Link to 10 Principles Of Effective Web Design
"(Web) Users:
- Appreciate quality and credibility!
- Don’t read, they scan!
- Are impatient and insist on instant gratification!
- Don’t make optimal choices.
- Follow their intuition.
- Want to have control (Source)."
No wonder SCORM does not appeal to learners (and educators) (above 5 years old)! Below 5 years old? Only because they think it is some kind of worm, or it sounds cool!
10 PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE WEB DESIGN?
- Don’t make users think!
- Don’t squander users’ patience!
- Manage to focus users’ attention!
- Strive for feature exposure!
- Make use of effective writing!
- Don’t be afraid of the white space!
- Strive for simplicity!
- Communicate effectively with a “visible language”!
- Conventions are our friends!
- Test early, test often!
If this does not make any sense, click here to read between the lines.
SMASHING MAGAZINE?
"Founded in September 2006, Smashing Magazine delivers useful and innovative information for designers and web-developers. Our aim is to inform our readers about the latest trends and techniques in web-development. We don’t try to convince you with the quantity, but with the quality of the information we present.

MASTERMINDS?
"Smashing Magazine is maintained by Sven Lennartz, the owner of the Dr. Web Magazine and Vitaly Friedman, the creator of The Web Developer’s Handbook (Source)."
OTHER SMASHING POSTS?
The previous post on OCW collections for web designers was an amazing learning discovery. However, I am not sure if I have the time or patience to explore 60+ courses to find nuggets of learning juice relevant and useful to my learning adventure. No doubt the OCW collections have tremendous value, but for now I am simply looking for smashing articles on specific web stuff that I want to learn (Or discover by accident!). And when I discovered this Smashing Magazine, I was like, "This looks interesting! Hey, this looks even more interesting! WOW, this is the one I am looking for!" Smashing Magazine provides you with short and engaging nuggets of learning tailored to the things you really want to know (in design). They smash you with the learning juice!
To illustrate my point, here are some smashing posts (titles) discovered that I really want to explore soon:
- 170+ Expert Ideas From World’s Leading Developers
- Evolve Your User Interface To Educate Your Users

An Insight into Apple iMovie app and its New Version 10 0 4
Apple rolled out a new version update for iMovie – an innovative iOS app development for Mac. The new 10.0.4 version will help resolve crashing issues that caused iMovie app to quit unexpectedly.
Before getting in depth into the new updated version of the iMovie application, lets have a detailed insight about this app and its previous version.
Introduction to iMovie and Its Features
If youve been yearning for a gratifying video recording experience for Mac, then iMovie is an app that you cant miss to have. It lets you put the entire focus on videos and enjoy watching them like never before.

Its available for $4.99 in the iTunes store.

Whats more? The app helps to improvise the visual appeal as well sound of your video. Also, it helps in augmenting your video using the colour controls. Lets have a more detailed view on the features of this application.
Hollywood-style trailers: With iMovie you get the flexibility to choose the most suitable template from 29 templates – for creating your movie trailer in Hollywood style. All the templates come enriched with high-end graphics and original scores of renowned film composers. So, whatre you waiting for? Pick the best videos and photos for constructing your video trailers and fulfil your urge to develop your own hollywood-styled trailers.
Beautiful HD movies: In the iMovie app you get 15 unique themes with various customization options, which include transitions, titles, ability to adjust motion effects (like speed up, slow down and fast-forward) and more. Thats not it! You can even build your own soundtrack using the songs from the Apples iTunes library and so on.
iMovie Theatre: Now you can show movies as well as trailers you’ve made with help of your own personal theatre. Your movies will serve as beautiful posters, which you can click to watch the clips in full-screen.
Sharing is Fun: iMovie app allows sharing your video clips with friends and family. It even let you post your clips to YouTube and Vimeo. You can even share the clips via emails.
Experienced video editors wont find any difficulty in working with the iMovie application. However, proficient iPhone App Developer for Hire can be availed, in case you find some technical issues. But even immature and neophyte video editors wont find it hard to create video clips and photos using the app in not more than 10 minutes, after doing a little practice and understanding the settings.
What has iMovie version 10.0.4 in Store for You?
As discussed earlier, iMovie version 10.0.4 is new update that has recently been released. The major purpose behind updating the existing version was to fix bug issues and bring stability improvements with the previous iMovie app version. Prior to this update, iMovie for Mac was updated to 10.0.3 version in April that introduced new sort features in the sidebar, tweaked user interface, and upgraded font options and color in new titles etc. But unfortunately, even the last version failed to fix the issues that led to force close iMovie.
With 10.0.4 version, Apples effort to eliminate bugs from the app has proved a success. Any existing iMovie app users can easily download the upgraded version of the application from the Mac App for free. However, new users will have to purchase it for $14.99.

Though, nothing much has been added to this update but its a very important one from all the previous upgrades made to the application, as it resolved the bug issues and stability problems that made the app to quit, without any prior warning. So, begin adding your pics and videos and build some really fascinating movies showing off your talent as a movie director – to your friends, family and acquaintances.
