Sometimes it can be hard to put a feeling into words.
In the middle of a project, we’ll find ourselves reaching for metaphors to help us get an idea across. One of us will say, “this logo needs to feel less like wearing Tevas and more like wearing Birkenstocks.” Or, “this copy needs to be less Beatles and more Rolling Stones.” Comparisons like these are a little off the wall, but they can be enormously helpful.
Mood boards are helpful in a similar way. Say you’ve determined your brand’s core attributes — your business is scholarly, refined, and graceful. (Haven’t gotten that far? Check out our ..read more

You may have heard that it’s important to keep everything “above the fold” in your website’s design. Well, despite advancements in flexible LCD screens, you still can’t fold your website up (yet). So what exactly is “the fold” and is it something you should worry about in your web design?
Where did it come from?
The term “the fold” originates with newspapers. Newspaper publishers would try to include their catchiest headline and flashiest photo “above the fold.” That is to say, the part of the front page that was visible when the paper is folded and displayed on a news stand.   ..read more

These sentiments all get at an underlying truth of branding: details matter. Sure, if you get a majority of your brand’s look correct, you do a lot to encourage your aud ..read more

Caching makes commonly used websites load faster and use less bandwidth, but there are a few instances in which it can all lead to some pretty screwy behavior. What is caching anyways? Well, to answer that question, first you must understand what happens when you visit a website in your browser.
When you visit a URL, your browser sends a request to the server hosting that page and asks it t ..read more
