Bing launch this morning - the new search engine from Microsoft, replacing Live Search. It being called a Decision Engine because it is designed to help users search more effectively in these four areas; making a purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition and finding a local business.
“When we set out to build Bing, we grounded ourselves in a deep understanding of how people really want to use the Web. Bing is an important first step forward in our long-term effort to deliver innovations in search that enable people to find information quickly and use the information they’ve found to accomplish tasks and make smart decisions.”—Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft Corp
The fabulous new web site for writer and author Graham Marks has been launched! We had such fun developing this site. deFreeze came up with a series of ideas for the design of this site. One of which was using a laptop computer screen to display the content of the site. Graham emailed back straight away with an image of his desk with his laptop as center stage! An image he took to send us and give us an idea of what he was after. Clearly we were both on the same page!
Designing logos is always an absorbing process. Doing design work on a Saturday night is not usually my preferred timeframe - however that is exactly what I was doing last night.
The brief; design a logo for a Professional Skier with the Birch Tree as a possible inspiration point. It has to be simple and strong. So after doing some scribbles involving skis, ski poles and leafy trees I decided the most recognisable and distinguishing aspect of the Birch Tree is its bark.
This is the working progress.
An interesting figure - I have to admit I have had to look up exactly what a Petabyte is. If you’re interested it is one quadrillion bytes (1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes). To put that in context a Gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. Allegedly the size of the Internets Archive Wayback Engine. My .net magazine is claiming this is the size of the internet - housed in a single 20 foot shipping container.
