You are probably wondering why the change? Well it’s simple, there is no change,
Frank is Franco and Franco is Frans – who is also Frankie who sometimes is Francois.
But basically it’s just simply frank.<br />
<br />
The reason for not changing (too much) is to commemorate FrancoCreations for
its milestones and what it has grown into. To reflect how FrancoCreations matured,
a brand refresh was in order. frank is more refined, more personal than ever before.<br />
FCPhotography will still retain it's name, due to the popularity and because
changing everything would just be stupid.<br />

Feb already? Wow! I hope you've enjoyed gazing at your desktop while bouncing back into your yearly routine. I bet this made planning your year much easier and kept you on your toes with scheduling. Let me know how you experienced the sequence wallpaper. I've reviewed the polls and it seems like we have a tie between a nature and animal wallpaper. For this month I was thinking why not combine both?<br />
<br />

Enjoy the new wallpaper and tell me what you think. If you have any ideas for another image also let me know. Again, I will be running a poll on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/francocreations" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> later this month, to see what everyone would like for March's calendar.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7680355116658335577"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7680355116658335577"></a><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">After a holiday break we find it difficult to get back into the routine of what we are use doing. A new year offers the opportunity to shift focus — whether you are out there looking for new trends and styles or just focusing on the present, letting it take your creativity wherever it might lead.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Designers and artists usually just stick to their skills to push their style even further creating unique new styles. This creative thinking should be encouraged more all the time. Though the majority of us hop onto that trend wave, which is not necessarily a bad thing. As we enter 2015 creatives are rummaging the net trying to find new trends for the year.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Fear not as I’ve compiled a list of what is to be expected this year to get your creative juices flowing. Note that the list mentioned below is not set in stone but simply a summary of what I’ve been reading up on the past couple of weeks. By all means, be creative and start your own trend! Who knows? Maybe your new style might hit the mainstream by mid year!</div>

<b>Think mobile</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
We live in a digital age and relay on our smartphones to do pretty much anything these days. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">80% of internet users own a smartphone to browse the web (</span><a href="http://www.smartinsights.com/mobile-marketing/mobile-marketing-analytics/mobile-marketing-statistics/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">latest survey done in 2015 by SmartInsights</a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">). According to a </span><a href="http://abduzeedo.com/designing-web-2015" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">survey by Google</a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> mobile-web users found that 48% of all websites globally did not support smart-phones. So bear in mind when you either design new websites, market your clients products or just upload an image to Facebook to design and optimise it for mobile web standard. In my opinion mobiles are the replacement for desktops. Today the majority of us is constantly on the move still needing to stay connected via a mobile device.</span></div>

<b>Reinvention of websites</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
As discussed above the one most important step for upgrading or designing a new website is to apply the #1 which is a mobile-first approach. The way people are consuming online content up until today is to through a mobile screen. This goes hand-in-hand with the second most important trend which is #2 single page vertical scrolling sites. Infinite scrolling on a single page site helps with loading time and all the content is presented instantly at your fingertips.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Interactive scrolling is probably the most important aspect of websites today. This cool style is popping up more and more with each new website. This includes parallax scrolling, infinite scrolling, and live content. Having a parallax scrolling background can help create depth and catch the eye of website visitors keeping them occupied a few seconds longer. With infinite scrolling websites your content becomes alive and also engages your viewers to interact with your website. This gets a massive thumbs up because the best part of it all is it being 100% mobile and tablet friendly. </div>

<b>Clean simple layout with flat designs</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Whether this is a trend or just simply a design rule, there is much debate between creatives to why keeping designs clean. It’s a <a href="http://abduzeedo.com/designing-web-2015">fact</a> that 90% of all information transmitted to the brain is visual and 40% of people will respond better to visuals rather than text. As a content designer I found polished minimalistic designs to be more ‘clean’ can create a bigger response from your consumers. It is also easier to remember because there is less clutter.</div>

As you all know each year the Pantone Color Institute announces the colour of the year. This year the 2015 colour is Pantone Marsala 18-1438. This colour will enrich your mind, body and soul releasing the confidence and stability within said Leatrice Eiseman who is the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Now don’t go all mad and use this colour everywhere, see where it will fit within your color palette when designing. By all means the trends currently state to use neutral colours and mix it up with a bit of old school airbrushing, you know the Art Deco kind of airbrush. Adding a bit of texture with an amazing colour selection can make for good designs/artworks.<br />

<b>Gradient making a comeback</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Can this be true? People actually thinks this style could work? My answer: Absolutely yes! Bare with me, gradients started out as a horrible point to point colour fade. This technique, which was still in it’s early stages, was used very flamboyantly and got pushed aside by all creatives and made a rule not to be used. Well, since end 2013 the <a href="http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/01/5-design-trends-to-watch-for-in-2015.html">trend started</a> to pick up again where creatives started using it more subtly. The use of gradients are more smoother and less flashy, even when being used in bright colours. It suggest either a change in light or giving depth to objects. This technique can also make flat designs stand out more.</div>

<b>The type of Type</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Typographic does not really have a set trend. Fonts works with only certain designs layouts and themes. For a while now creatives made use of more sophisticated typography with cleaner lines portraying more of a corporate look and feel, which is great because it is very legible. <a href="http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/01/5-design-trends-to-watch-for-in-2015.html">During 2014</a> some more hand written typography appeared, now defined as modern-style calligraphy, and will continue to become more mainstream in 2015. Grungy, paint-like brush styled typography is being used on posters, invites and even websites. So keep an eye out and have nice thick brush stroke of type filling the headings of your designs. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Font licensed by Ramandhani Nugraha)</span></div>

<b>Connect consumers with designs</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
Even though you have a great design does not necessarily mean that everyone will appreciate the art and thinking behind it. The problem today is that consumers do not know what they want and they need ‘creative’ help. So the trick will be to create a design to not only look great but to engage your viewers. Online content is booming right now but clients are scared to take the risk to market their business. That is why us creatives have the ability to gain our clients trust persuading them to take the leap. This allow for more creative thinking brining value to the business or brand.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">So this conclude a small list of what me (and a few other creative professionals) are predicting to be the top creative trends in 2015. As I mentioned before, you don’t have to run with these trends — try to make your own or maybe use this as a guideline to kick of 2015. During the course of the year we will see new technologies, more great entertainment, and weird fashion senses which will drive the trend wave into a whole different direction.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>

So we are at the second day of 2015 and many of you are probably heading back home from the holidays. It's time to start preparing yourself for the busy year that lies ahead, planning the month of January. I thought of making your life a bit easier!<br />
<br />
Many of us stare at a screen most of the day whether you are at work, maybe at home or even<br />
on the go with a laptop. You change your wallpaper once in a while to keep you from staring at that same picture everyday, right? Why not change it to something that is useful but still looks good?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Introducing January 2015 Desktop Calendar</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWJxeaOPEesEG6wc3HZ3rI-eOgMSSCp8qkT_SBmvxS_BSgwxOZnjJuDxisrZfF94Vh4XfBnL1qU-Kl-9qwC0t71yfm4sh3fV_u9U5YWgSbTdwEZVP3RbW_RPk49drVsWUONcTACc1zmzc/s1600/DesktopCalendar-Jan15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWJxeaOPEesEG6wc3HZ3rI-eOgMSSCp8qkT_SBmvxS_BSgwxOZnjJuDxisrZfF94Vh4XfBnL1qU-Kl-9qwC0t71yfm4sh3fV_u9U5YWgSbTdwEZVP3RbW_RPk49drVsWUONcTACc1zmzc/s1600/DesktopCalendar-Jan15.jpg" height="371" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I've kept is really simple as we all just want to see which day of the month it is. The weekends are highlighted to not only remind you that it is Friday but to create a break between the weeks. I was inspired by this year's fireworks which spiralled into awesome shapes. The spiral design also creates a sense of movement as the days rotates like the hours on a clock. As it is summer here in South Africa I wanted to create a beach-summer-swim vibe with the picture of a wave crushing from above.<br />
<br />
There are two types of calendars which you can choose from to set as your desktop wallpaper. First one is a standard static image which can easily be set as a wallpaper. The second one is what I call a sequence wallpaper which updates on a daily basis and indicates which day it is. <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/desktop-calendars.html" target="_blank">Here is my list of instructions</a> to help you apply the wallpaper. If you struggle to figure it out send me an email to <a href="mailto:info@francocreations.co.za">info@francocreations.co.za</a><span id="goog_260236702"></span><span id="goog_260236703"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a> so I can help you.<br />
<br />
This calendar will benefit each and everyone that works on a desktop computer daily. I am always looking to find a calendar in a hurry when I need to organise things ahead of time.<br />

Enjoy the new wallpaper and tell me what you think. Like it? don't like it? Let me know, I want to make improvements where I can. If you have any ideas for another image also let me know. I will be running a small poll on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/francocreations" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> later this month, to see what everyone would like for February's calendar.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7680355116658335577" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7680355116658335577" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><br />

Today I don't only celebrate a new year, I am also celebrating the 4th birthday of my blog! Can't believe it's been 4 years already!<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the continued support during the years. Up until now I had 22 800 post views, a bunch of followers, features on other websites and multiple fan emails from all around the globe. Thanks guys!<br />
<br />
For my new year's resolution I am going to create and share more designs, blog about the latest tech news to current trends and just make it fun for everyone to read. You might have noticed some here-and-there posts during the course of last year, showcasing my current work and some fun desktop wallpapers you could download to keep track of 2014. Well I am proud to announce that I will be keeping that going, as I received a lot of positive feedback from fans wanting a wider variety of wallpapers.<br />
<br />
<b>So what is 2015 looking like for my blog?</b><br />
As I am focusing much more <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/" target="_blank">on my website</a> I will be showcasing my projects there because the space is more flexible. For 3 years my blog acted as a website, but those days are over. You might have noticed the tabs at the top vanished, don't be alarmed! You can still access all of the links on the left-hand side bar of the blog under "<i>Find out what's been said.</i>"<br />
<br />
I am launching my <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/photography.html" target="_blank">photography page</a> on my website soon! :-D So be sure you keep an eye out for that announcement. There will definitely be some popular photographs you guys have seen, but I can assure you it's going to look so much better to view it on the <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/photography.html" target="_blank">photography page</a>! A lot of behind the scenes and never seen before photographs that will blow your mind!<br />
<br />
The website is officially in full swing, but there is a very long list of things that needs to be added and improved. I need all the feedback I can get, so please check it out and let me know if there is any problems or glitches so I can address it and sort out the problems. Send feedback on my <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/contact.html" target="_blank">contact page</a> from my website.<br />
<br />
So where does this blog then still fit in? Well seeing as my blog have been running for about 4 years I don't want to lose all my fans! Seriously, it's because of you that I doing all of this. This space will still act as a main source of communication. All new projects, photography uploads, special announcements, etc. will be done right here on FrancoCreations Blog. So whether you need a download link or want to stay updated with the latest news, you can always find it right here.<br />
<br />
2015 is going to be awesome! Again thanks for your continued support. Feel free to drop me a message if you are interested in seeing more projects or any other suggestions to improve your viewing/reading experience.<br />

Yep, you probably have notice my lack of posting stuff during the course of this year.<br />
<br />
So I've return to this awkward blank space once again making up some crap story why I "couldn't write this year." This is mainly because of two things: #1 – I SUCK AT KEEPING MY OWN DEADLINE SCHEDULES... and #2 – basically I am just f*(!N lazy to keep up with my on-the-side projects.<br />
<br />
I finally pulled through in designing my website which almost took about a year to complete. I will go into that a bit later but yeah I achieved stuff this year. Got a job, worked my ass off to pay the bills. Oh yeah learned about paying my own bills, buying A LOT of stuff online. Got another job, still worked my ass off but still manage to enjoy and grow in what I do and being who I am. So it's been one hell of a crazy-busy 2014.<br />
<br />
By now you might have noticed my blog have gotten a bit of a face lift. Yep, I've decided to link it to my website (<a href="http://francocreations.co.za/" target="_blank">which btw can be found by clicking on this link</a>) to make it a bit easier to keep everything together and updated.<br />
<br />
Big plans (WITH SET SCHEDULES AND REMINDERS) are in place for 2015 and it's going to be a blast! So enjoy the last hours of 2014 as we head into the new year. Keep an eye out on <a href="http://francocreations.co.za/" target="_blank">my website</a> or on my social media to get the latest updated and posts ;-)<br />
<br />
Happy 2015 to all!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
With most modern websites people expect to see breathtaking or or just plain simple pages. Most people like to interact, others prefer to just access the content they need in the quickest and easiest way possible. This does not mean one should create a dull looking site because it will load faster. There are many ways of designing a beautiful website and still have it loads without waiting about 2-3 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These days websites don't even have multiple pages to navigate through but only has one page that scrolls up and down. This makes it easier and faster to navigate through a site without having various pages with different sets of content scattered all over the place. Keeping design simple and clean makes if more user friendly and information can be easily absorbed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is proven that iconography plays a big role in universal design and especially in web design as it creates an easy understanding of what is trying to be said. In a way it summarises and categorise amounts of information.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This website might be in it's early stages and have a lot room for improvement, but this is what feedback from customers are for? Creating a very simple menu bar, with big large headings dividing each (supposedly to be "page") into sections makes it fun and easy to navigate through.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK0cdRoxKECasdfs5C3U5DlLMwVmZaRJNL65keD-LtybeQVJTE8c27W9rA2Awg-LBB5N5rN2O97kAVdChCZjHuQRe9GZ4Y5aGCuk4Db2XdNMdQwz1sL4zqTdZVlKoTAHdk59gcAso_58I/s1600/blogupload_004.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK0cdRoxKECasdfs5C3U5DlLMwVmZaRJNL65keD-LtybeQVJTE8c27W9rA2Awg-LBB5N5rN2O97kAVdChCZjHuQRe9GZ4Y5aGCuk4Db2XdNMdQwz1sL4zqTdZVlKoTAHdk59gcAso_58I/s1600/blogupload_004.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What also needs to be considered is that almost 50% of all web traffic comes from mobile phones or tablets. So having a flexible website that can be viewed on a mobile or tablet is a MUST. I did a short survey in my thesis by researching whether people use a computer or their phone to browse, and I found that more than 80% of people uses their mobile. This is a survey done in South Africa but I am sure that many people all around the world uses their mobile phones to source information.<br />
<br />
For Cable Clinic I basically created two versions for the website. A mobile site and a PC site. The difference is that the PC site has one scrolling page where the mobile site has multiple pages. What is also different is the start page for the mobile site gives you access to the three most important sets of information i.e. contact details, email, and Facebook.<br />
<br />
Just to warp it up, the design language for this website goes with the clean look and feel for the business. Creating of circular icons engages a user in wanting to browse through the site or interact with if on a mobile device.<br />
______________<br />
This was a really good exercise to start something entirely new and it is just the beginning for more complex websites with bigger and better graphics. Keep an eye out for more posts and updates!<br />

I can however give you some insight of things that I am busy with.<br />
<br />
Every year I promise myself to share some rad designs with everyone but as we grow older one tend to get more responsible. And with responsibility one needs to get your head in gear to survive in the real world which obviously leads to work, work, oh yeah and work. I cannot describe to you how this drains the energy and life right out of a person. Somedays you want to fling yourself off a building and other days you feel like screaming or punch stuff. But what I do hate about work is that it dramatically absorbs your time. There are so many days I wish that I could be creative and express myself in my own personal work and designs but really, I mean, who's got time for that when you have bigger responsibilities?<br />
<br />
Well things might be changing soon or not, I don't know. Maybe I will spend more time doing the things I love the most? But enough chit-chat about what is going or not going to happen, we will just have to wait and see.<br />
<br />
I am working on new corporate ID stuff and for the first time ever I have entered the world of web design & development thanks to a new handy tool that does all of the thinking for me! ...maybe not all of the thinking though, but let's just say I am in love with this tool and we work fantastic together ;-)<br />
More details to come on this bit of news in the next week or so.<br />
<br />
But for now I have bored everyone already so lets just call it a night.<br />
Till Later!<br />

The official first wallpaper download is here and I've got a good one for everyone. I kept it simple with flat design and a bright colour. The quote is from one of my favourite alternative bands, <i>Capital Cities</i> with the song title <i>"I sold my bed, but not my stereo."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was very inspirational reminding me that music is my life and I would do almost everything just to listen to a song. I hope this inspires you to also invest yourself in lyrics and the art of music to motivate your everyday choices and keep your spirit up.</div>

What a year it had been! So to just keep it short, I've worked on a few projects over the holiday time which i think you guys will love. For the new year I've prepared a surprise for everyone which I will talk about later but for now lets get to whats happening today!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You might have notice that some of the links at the top navigation bar of my blog has been updated and can now access more stuff. Well to kick off 2014 I will post a weekly wallpaper that can be downloaded to your screen resolution size! I've put in a lot of time making this accessible to everyone so I am keeping the file sizes low but still in high quality suited for your desktop resolution.</span><br />
<br />
I've prepared a very simple graphic wallpaper for you guys. You can find it in <a href="http://francocreations.blogspot.com/2013/12/wallpaper-i-sold-my-bed-but-not-my.html">the next post</a> with all the download specifications. Please note that if you cannot find your screen size, please leave me a comment and I will gladly add your screen resolution to the collection.<br />
<br />
So go check it out and tune back tomorrow to find out more about the surprise!<br />
<br />
Till Later!<br />

Again?So I woke up this morning realising it is a day before Christmas! MAN how time sure flies when you are being kept busy. This year have been a hell of a year with many challenges and exciting beginnings for most people. I for one surely had a relatively great year. Even though there were some stages I felt like flinging myself off a building I luckily had a rope tied to my waist.<br />
<br />
I can proudly say that I was positive and good things came onto my path which opened my eyes and appreciate life even more. I graduated (yay!) which wasn't really the highlight of my year, I am just glad I made it through.<br />
<br />
So what I really wanted to confess is that I didn't really achieve my goal for blogging so much... sigh... but that is life, hey? It doesn't always turn out as planned, this I can say with a year of experience!<br />
<br />
Thanks for making this year awesome, for everyone who contributed to my degree and thank you for the support in what have been a crazy year. To all those who I done some design work, thank you for believing in me. Next year will be a challenge since I am entering the industry with more mile points to be set, but there is always time for another design ;-)<br />
<br />
So enjoy your festive holidays and be safe!<br />
Merry Christmas.<br />
<br />

The day we all where waiting for! iOS is being released today and I think many of us cannot wait to hit that download soon. Luckily I am registered as a developer and could download it much earlier and I have been using it for 4 days now and there is only one word to describe it; MIND-BLOWING!!!<br />
<br />
Just to recap what iOS will have in stock for you guys. Well it's completely re-designed in the look & feel. The font is thin and clean looking, the icons have been re-designed to a more smoother edge. The way you work on the iOS have changed completely but is more accessible. Everything looks and works just perfect. Check out some screen shots I took;<br />

Isn't it just beautiful? I mean after all these year the iOS has finally changed in the way we handle our iPhones every day. Everything is smooth, exciting and evens feels great when working on it. A lot of features have been added to the iOS 7 that was always complained about or missing from the iOS 6. The reception of the iPhone with the new iOS 7 is fantastic. Usually I would be lucky to get 3 bars of reception, now it is full all the time.<br />
<br />
Answering your iPhone has never been easier. In the previous iOS version when you received a call the slider usually gets stuck and does not want to slide to answer. Now imagine how frustrating that must have been... I am proud to announce that it has been fixed. The battery life on your iPhone is AMAZING! I get full 4 days with my iPhone now where I use to get only 2 days (BTW I still own the iPhone 4). With that said, I unfortunately don't have all the features such as Siri and the moving backgrounds, but it's ok, the iOS self is MIND-BLOWING! What I love about the iOS the most is the fact that when you apply a wallpaper your entire iOS changes into that colour pallet, it is SO freakin' awesome! I just love everything about it. Oh and don't forget the new ringtones that came along with the iOS. Personally it is not so much Apple's style of ringtones, but I understand that they wanted to make it fun, hence the colour options and personalisation of everything. But it still cool to have an entire new iOS that makes a 2 year old phone feel like a brand new one.<br />
<br />
So to end of, I really feel that if you own an iPhone 4, iPhone 4 S or iPhone 5 you should really consider updating! The update is big though, 1.3 Gig download, but believe me it is TOTALLY worth it. Here is a demo video I did with the new iOS showing off the fun new features. Enjoy<br />

I am pretty excited about everything though I am not going to upgrade soon. Anyway so you might have heard all the talk regarding the sales for the new iPhone 5C which is suppose to be more cheaper than the original iPhone 5. I think we all expected too much of Apple though and selling a phone that is just a $100 cheaper makes a big difference, but not for us down here in South Africa.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">I guess I am disappointed to see that the phone will cost you $100 on a 24 month contract (in the US might I add) but it is still so expensive! It will probably be R299 again on a low budget contract and believe me you, this is NOT cheap when living in South Africa. I am paying R560 for my iPhone contract! Most people prefer the standard route which probably is R120 or even R75. So the point that I want to make is that unfortunately it won't be cheap, but who knows, maybe things change once it arrive in South Africa.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">Back to the design of things!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">I was reading a comment the other day where a bunch of know-it-alls has claimed that Apple might have lost their mo-jo. Announcing a suppose to be new innovative Apple iDevice, they just change the colours of the iPhone 5 to make it more attractive to people. They way I understand what Apple is trying to achieve here is not to actually bring out "a new iPhone" but to improve on the ones we have. That said if you would go back in history and look at the iPhones released previously;</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">To just recap what is going on above; In 2007 when the revolutionary iPhone was announced it was then when Apple made history in the mobile markets, just like when they released the iPod, EVERYONE wanted one!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">If you have noticed the pattern of the iPhone release dates, Apple is just improving on the models with every release. So the point that I want to make is these people discussing Apples lack of innovation are just a load of crap. Sure Apple has probably fail to impress YOU but do they really need to impress the world all the time?</span></span><br />

So people also complained that they expected Apple to reveal some sort of iWatch or iTV. What people need to understand is once there is a new trend going around Apple won't follow that trend because that is not what type of company Apple are. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">Obviously they want to be the best, but being the best going towards other companies with fancy gadgets and stuff is just NOT Apple's style. People need to realise that</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;"> Apple is NOT a trend follower but a trend setter. That said maybe next year </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">they will release a new better iPhone that will make other companies like Android or Samsung look bad. Not that they plan to but they know when the time is right.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">I think the new iPhones look actually cool, and yes I will upgrade to one of those iPhone 5C. Some has said it may be a class difference thing when purchasing the cheaper iPhone, I think NOT! The price is just not on that level to actually call it cheap. And because it is plastic does not mean it is literally cheap nor does it look cheap. It has class on it's own, celebrating the release of the first iPhone and for the first time ever targeting a larger set of audience with the customisation options of colours and covers. Although some might think there is absolutely nothing innovative about this, think again. It is more of just being innovative. It is not even suppose to be 2 new iPhones, the 5 C is just something extra (I think) and to have a choice not just black or white.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">Here is something cool, not the official colours though but a nice idea of being </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;">versatile</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-line;"> and appealing to a lot of different people. </span><br />

I can't tell you how excited I am to get the new <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/">OS X 10.9</a> better known as <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/">Mavericks</a>. So let's start by going back in time and explaining <a href="http://www.apple.com/">Apple</a>'s revolutionary operating systems.<br />
<br />
Since OS X 10.0 launched in 2001 Apple only worked it's way up the ladder with ahead-of-time technology to reach the potential of the OS which we have today. It was a challenge to be ahead of the game competing with <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/home">Microsoft Windows</a>, so Apple had to come up with a marketing strategy to promote their OS. It all started with the branding of the OS promoting it with big cat names. Here is a timeline of the names since 2001;<br />

<br />
As you can see that Apple has ran out of cat names, and I think it is about time. I mean how long would they have gone with it. The lion is the kind of the jungle, I doubt that a mountain lion is ranked higher. Anyway to get to Mavericks. It is actually very clever, the latest OS X is named after the place of birth of Apple, Mavericks - California. This will be a new era for Apple's OS naming it after landmarks and I think it's pretty cool. But to make this more interesting I want discuss the new OS and what it contains.<br />

We all are familiar with the OS interface? if not, see the list below;<br />

Looking at this list you notice that there hasn't been much change to the interface or where the main controls are place. The task bar is always at the top and the dock is at the bottom. That is how it has always been and probably will stay for the time being. The visual aspects of these components such as the windows and dock just gets enhanced with every operating system keeping up with the new technology.<br />
<br />
Apple don't want to follow in the footsteps of Windows latest operating system <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/meet">Windows 8</a> where they removed the start button and made it more tablet based. I mean they've altered the entire user interface and changed the way people uses a PC! Even though Macintosh also added tablet features gathered from the iOS platform (e.g. Notification Centre and Launch Pad) they've done it in such a way that it is a preference and not a requirement. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mac OS X 10.9 - OS X Mavericks</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what is new that makes this OS so popular that people are raving about. Is it maybe the fact that you get new features like reading books on your Mac? Is it because you need to check Apple Maps instead of Google Maps? or is it the new filing system with new added security features? I sure hope that Apple decides to tweak the interface design a little, not so much as the <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/five-reasons-why-windows-8-has-failed-7000012104/">Windows 8 fiasco</a> but enhancing the visual aspects like they did during 2001 and 2006.<br />
<br />
Even though OS X is as minimalistic as it may come, I think it could be enhanced. With the upcoming <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/">iOS 7</a>, which will be the best and most beautiful OS for mobile Apple has ever designed, I still feel that migrating these design elements of the <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/">iOS 7 </a>with the <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/">OS X Mavericks</a> will be another mile stone on Apple timeline. Just look at how beautiful transition that happened during 2001 up to 2012. I will write another post about the iOS 7 once it has been released which hopefully will be on the 10 September at the <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/2048045/apple-announces-colorful-sep-10-event-in-cupertino.html">conference in Cupertino</a>.<br />
<br />
I did some design of my own! Extracting some elements of the new iOS 7 I migrated it with the OS X interface to give the sense of translucency which is part of the new look and feel. I've added all the new neat features such as the labelling and tabs in the finder window. The intention for the frosted windows are that it changes depending on your wallpaper. I reverted back to the first official dock with a more modern feel in honour of the first OS X. In the right hand corner on the dock I've added a new feature where you can scroll between docks. In my experience I always need to add stuff to my dock but only when I use them. Wouldn't it be cool to add different sets of docks which you can switch to design or editing or writing whenever you like? Last but not least I made some small changes to the classic Apple folder design. I touched it up by making it white with the apple logo in the top corner to give it that special touch.<br />
<br />
So we will have to wait and see whether Apple will change the interface a little for the big reveal of the Mavericks OS, by the look of what they posted on their site, I doubt that they will make changes. But hey, it's always nice to imagine "what if."<br />

For those who are not aware, <a href="http://www.ramsaymedia.co.za/">RamsayMedia</a> is one of the many publishing companies in South Africa that publishes magazines. I had the privilege to do a 5 week internship at <a href="http://www.ramsaymedia.co.za/">RamsayMedia</a> where I've put my skills to good use finally working in the industry after 4 years of study. It felt good waking up every morning and go to work for the first time in my life. There is something exciting about going to work, sitting down at your desk and do what you love. Obviously you need to enjoy it if you plan to pursue that certain profession that is going to keep you busy for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
I met a lot of talented and amazing people who guided me through the work process and made me feel at home. One thing that was weird, none of them asked me to make them coffee or do their dirty work, everyone was extremely nice! This made a hell of a lot of difference that they treated me as one of them. But enough about how they treated me, it is more about what I've learned. The experience was phenomenal! I mean, I've been to print factories during my years of study and I work-shadowed a guy at another publishing company, but seeing how much thought and process goes into a design of a magazine layout is incredible. I've learned a lot during my studies but I have to tell you guys, nothing beats that like how they do it in the industry.<br />
<br />
I was not only entertained by the talented people working there, but was also assigned some small projects and layouts to design for some magazines! Seeing your name printed in a magazine knowing that the entire country will see that you have worked on that specific magazine felt GREAT! I think you get use to the whole publishing after a while, though feeling as if you achieved something greater than you did before, can't ever go away.<br />
<br />
So when I left I actually wanted to lock myself in a room and stay there forever. The feeling of being needed get stuck in you wanting to work, but seeing that I have to finish my studies made me realise that I have something to look forward to at the end of the year. People encourages you when you are young to become something great and get a great job one day, but just before you reach that level they would stop you and scare you with talks about "how awful the big bad world is" and "reality will bite you in the ass." Honestly, I don't understand why they do that. We have to grow up someday! And I had a taste of reality, not really fun, but I am willing to jump right in and start my life.<br />
<br />
OK so I ramble a lot, that's me! Finally getting to what I actually wanted to talk about is my magazine feature, well me inside of the magazine rather. Yeah I was called by an online magazine Shift4Ward that is a youth magazine for young professionals, students and graduates looking for an opportunity into the world of work. I was recommended by someone I worked with at <a href="http://www.ramsaymedia.co.za/">RamsayMedia</a> (THANK YOU BY THE WAY!) and I was phoned up and asked to be featured in the article '<a href="http://shift4ward.co.za/emagazine/#page/18">I Want Graduate</a>'. I got some of my friends to do a photo shoot and help me write a good article. For the first time ever I felt appreciated and that here is where my life begins as an adult looking forward to the future and becoming someone I am meant to be.<br />
<br />
So tell me what you think of <a href="http://shift4ward.co.za/emagazine/#page/18">the article</a> and <a href="http://shift4ward.co.za/e-magazine">please subscribe to this magazine</a>, it is really amazing!<br />
Also keep an eye out for more posts to come.<br />

Since I am planning in designing my first App for my desertion I thought "hey, it can't hurt knowing how to code."<br />
<br />
So I came across the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/za/course/coding-together-developing/id593208016">Stanford University podcast classes on iTunes U </a>and I have to tell you guys that is was quite a head scratcher figuring out what that guy was talking about. I decided to continue my hunt to search for a more easier way to approach this "coding" business. On <a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2D6eRvCeMtcF5OGHf1-trw">YouTube</a> I found this guys called Chris who was struggling with the same issue, not only me, but multiple people has. So Chris decided to start his own website helping idiots like me to start coding from scratch. I must say her is brilliant in explaining things in colour where the Stanford classes left me in the world of black and white.<br />
<br />
So thanks Chris for making my life easier and actually explaining details for a person who doesn't know much about coding. Sure I fiddle around with some HTML code but also using Google as my guide though... For anyone who is new to coding and needs to learn the basics, and I am talking about BASICS basics, just check out <a href="http://codewithchris.com/">codewithchris.com</a> to start learning Objective-C and how to write code. And take it from someone who has no coding background, it is really worth reading this guys guides and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2D6eRvCeMtcF5OGHf1-trw">watching his videos on YouTube</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is an introduction video to his online tutorials;<br />

Well, I most of the time get my design ideas from games. I love Sims, there, I admit it. So to talk about the reveal, just a few months ago a sketch was revealed, by the lead concept artist, Albert Truong, of The Sims 4:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eqDCSSdOKZgpXtY0jjUR3XAiD2YOVLAkOuKpa8xnnD5Ipg-RezYfpaovG2KEX6J9-E_LMTlv_L5JbYGd0HJ_3RWtJrVdUUOVZI3Y_mtqzhTAGfid8j6St5zE25rnAeLmpT2zTu384rA/w376-h600-no/sims-3-erstes-artwork_newsbild.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eqDCSSdOKZgpXtY0jjUR3XAiD2YOVLAkOuKpa8xnnD5Ipg-RezYfpaovG2KEX6J9-E_LMTlv_L5JbYGd0HJ_3RWtJrVdUUOVZI3Y_mtqzhTAGfid8j6St5zE25rnAeLmpT2zTu384rA/w376-h600-no/sims-3-erstes-artwork_newsbild.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And just a few days ago some images leaked, a week before the Gamescom. I would hope that this was done by a fan or are just more conceptual images, because to be honest I am NOT very happy with whats going on. When I saw the sketch above I though, OMG what is happening to Sims! Are the creators leading towards more cartoony style? Are they following the trend of simplifying their designs as every other company? Will Sims actually improve for next generation gaming?<br />
<br />
I read multiple blogs and comments of Sims fans who are not happy with the simplicity of the designs. Dozens of fans emphasised that they want more realistic looking Sims and objects, and now the developers of Sims has taken a different route. Will this choice upset the rest of their fan base? Will fans actually rebel against purchasing the game just because of this choice? Or will this turn around and be a great success? Who knows?<br />
<br />
Personally I don't think this choice was a good one. Looking from a design perspective, there is always new innovative ways of designing and what is happening here is that Sims to be taking a step backward. well, I had my say so here are the leaked images, judge for yourself;<br />
