IconicOs

Let me introduce you to IconicOs. This is a personal project created for the customisation of folders and documents icons of your operative sistem. Here you can find several packages of icons wich you can download for free for Mac OS X and Windows. The basis of this project is founded on the Emotional Design concept proposed by Donald Norman and other studies like the one made by Patrick Jordan. Them both studies were focused on how to make the relationship between product and user more pleasurable, and one way to make it is through customization. Nowadays, usability is not enough pleasurable as any emotional approach can gain in the user. IconicOs is focused on the customization of our virtual office, the operative system, and the icons are the representation of all we manage in that space, that's why they're so important on it. IconicOs bring the tools for you to give to your own space your personal touch.

Channel Frederator

Hi everybody, it's been a long time since the last post, I apologise but's been a lot of academic work ! I'm getting more & more closer of being an entire Graphic Designer! Well, this time I'm gonna talk about Channel Frederator. This is a very funny podcast about animation. It's really cool because their contents are based on what their audience send to them, so what you can see is what you or any of us would have sent. Personally I just love Channel Frederator, they are always grateful for the people who send their work (they always say that, it's great! xD ). So...how you can watch Channel Frederator? You can go to their site or you can subscribe. I use iTunes for that, it works perfect with podcasts.

Channel Frederetor also have a little brother, ReFrederator, go and watch it too, it's all about vintage animation, I'm addicted to it too! lol
