Online Marketing and Ecommerce

2011-06-26T21:52:00.000-04:00

Will online marketing eliminate all other business?

Even though online shopping is still small part of overall retail sales but it’s a very large part of electronic commerce, or e-commerce today. Online shopping is greatly increasing in popularity because of the speed and the efficiency in which it can be done. Every year we’ll see better and faster technologies that help make the online shopping process easier. It is convenient, and allows for consumers to shop for just about anything from furniture, electronics, and clothing, without going store to store and leaving the comfort of their homes.

One of the major problems with online shopping is that buyers wouldn’t trust any websites and they don’t want to share their financial information with some online sellers. The development of one secure central account for all online payment (like Paypal and Google Checkout) has became one of best way to deal with privacy of user’s private information and online identity thefts. Basically central account is the secure process of online shopping and making payments without sharing buyer’s information with vendor. So buyer will only have to share their private information like, address, phone number and credit card number with this central account. Also, Government and credit card companies play a major rule in the e-marketing business with executing new laws and policies. Paying with credit card has a great advantage with these new policies. For example, when one purchases a product using a credit card, his/her purchase is protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act Under this law, one has the right to dispute certain charges, and can temporarily withhold payment while his/her case is being examined.

Even with all of these comforts, the online shopping stores have been working with research labs to make the shopping at home even more enjoyable by developing new technologies. One of these systems is Smell-O-Vision that is a device that can release different odors based on the data it receives. This device, which was developed at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, can analyze scents and reproduce them by combining the 96 chemicals packed inside the device. Once the device is pointed at an object, it records the odors surrounding the object using 15 chemical-sensing microchips, or electronic noses. It can then transmit that data to another device in a different location, or save it for later playback. The device could be used to improve online shopping by allowing the shoppers to sniff foods or fragrances before buying it, to add an extra dimension to virtual reality environments and even to assist doctors treating patients remotely by recreating bile, blood or urine odors that might help a diagnosis. However this product is still under produced and not commercially usable but its first step to experience the new way of interactivity between the shoppers and computer.

One other factor that has major contribution to the advance or the decline of online businesses is the argument of taxation and the fact that most Internet buyers pay no sales tax has ignited a considerable debate over this topic. The results suggest that, controlling for observable characteristics, people living in high sales taxes locations are significantly more likely to buy online. The study suggests that applying existing sales taxes to Internet commerce might reduce the number of online buyers by up to 24 percent. The extraordinary growth of the Internet in the last few years has led some to speak of the birth of a world without borders, in which that communication and knowledge over the shopping market is not only free, but also necessity. Although online transactions currently make up only a very small fraction of total retail sales, predictions of astounding future growth have caused state policy makers to become highly concerned about the fact that most online transactions pay no sales or use tax.

Utah Teapot Story

2008-09-21T23:43:00.003-04:00

The Utah teapot or Newell teapot is a 3D model which has become a standard reference object (and something of an in-joke) in the computer graphics community. Like in 3D Max! It is a mathematical model of an ordinary teapot of comparatively simple shape, which appears solid, cylindrical and partially convex. The idea was that if you can make a 3D teapot, then you make anything in 3D!

The teapot model was created in 1975 by early computer graphics researcher Martin Newell, a member of the pioneering graphics program at the University of Utah.

SIGGRAPH Announces 2008 Winners (Computer Animation Festival)

2008-08-19T01:00:00.002-04:00

SIGGRAPH announced the Computer Animation Festival's Best of Show, Jury Award, Student Prize, Audience Prize, and a special Well Told Fable Prize for SIGGRAPH 2008, the 35th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques.

"The caliber of submissions this year was truly phenomenal, which made the jury's job especially difficult," said Jill Smolin, SIGGRAPH 2008 Conference Entertainment Director. "The winners truly showcase what is possible today and provide a glimpse into what artists can achieve in the future. Really, the only limitation is the imagination."

Award and prize winners were chosen from hundreds of submissions from around the globe, presented by both professional studios and students alike. An expert panel of jury members selected the winners for exemplary use of computer-generated imagery, animation, and storytelling. SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Award Recipient Ken Perlin and a host of industry presenters recognized the nominees and winners in a fun, lively awards ceremony.

Best of Show Winner
Oktapodi
Gobelins, l'ecole de l'image, France
Gobelins' third-year students direct this animated short about two octopi in their comical escape from the grasps of a stubborn and determined restaurant cook.

Best Student Piece Winner
893
Supinfocom, France
These students combine story and style in this tale of honor, tradition, and imagination.

Jury Award Winner
Mauvais Role
École Superieure de Realisation Audiovisuelle, France
This is a tale that shows that you can achieve whatever you want, regardless of the opinions that surround you. Watch as a monster constantly cast in games, finds his perfect job in a game that you'd never choose for him.

Best Well Told Fable Prize
Our Wonderful Nature
Hochschule fur Film und Fernsehen
"Konrad Wolf" Potsdam-Babelsberg
This documentary uses time stretching, film camera work, and creative sound design to tell the story of water shrews in the wild.

Apple iPhone + Subway Map

2007-12-31T21:36:00.000-05:00

As you know you can take advantage of the iPhone's thumbnail system for your photos but what you need to know is that, you can do the same with your city's subway map! Basically this map includes few sliced images from the actual subway map in such a way that you can pan across the map with the forward and back buttons. Subway maps usually are available as a PDF file but navigating the few hundred kilo bytes PDF file on the iPhone is very slow yet (beside the connection!). Also some of the disadvantages by using these kind of maps is that sometimes they have so many details and a little bit complicated! And if you have low res images you can’t really use the map (distorted and pixilated images).

I just collected couple of links from different websites! You can download these packages below and upload the images to your iPhone and use them the same way you browse your pictures.

New York City iPhone Subway Map by Clint Bagwell Consulting

New York City iPhone Subway Map by Khoi Vinh

London Underground iPhone Subway Map by Randy Plemel

Washington D.C. Metro Map by Jack Barse

Also,

Tokyo Subway System iPhone Map

Greater Tokyo JR Railway iPhone System Map

Santiago de Chile Railway iPhone System Map

San Francisco BART iPhone Map

Paris iPhone Subway Map

Boston iPhone Subway Map

Other Option

Filemarks let you store high res images, text files, and PDFs on an iPhone! There aren’t any good ways to do this with the built in Apple tools - you can use iPhoto to copy images, but they’ll be scaled down and become unreadable. If you want to read a pdf on your phone, you have to either email it to yourself or browse to it in Safari. Filemarks store your file’s data inside a bookmark. When you want to view your file, you open the bookmark in Safari on the iPhone and you can view it, whether your phone is online or offline.

Basically Filemarks let you store much higher quality images than the built in photo application. Check it out,

Alexander Shundi was my professor at NYIT. I really enjoyed his lectures and I have to say he is one of the best! He was born in Correggio (Reggio Emilia), Italy on May 19, 1944. Lived in Parma, Italy until 1957, when his family moved to the United States. Alex lives and works in a converted 1850's church with his wife Elizabeth Hill, also a painter, and has two children, Aramis, and Siena.

Branding

2007-10-22T23:22:00.000-04:00

Branding is always a hot topic anytime you have strategic and creative people together thinking about how to provide a product or service. This presentation makes some good points including the fact that your customers, not you, often decide what your brand is. See slides 13-18. And principles that apply to retail packaging (slides 100-103) also apply in many other mediums...the Web for example.

Tip: Styling Photoshop Type

2007-08-21T22:31:00.000-04:00

Most word processing and page layout software have the ability to create style sheets, that is, a digital recipe of text formatting which can be applied throughout a document to both save time and create consistency. Did you know you can do the same in Photoshop?

First, create the desired text using the Type Tool. While the Type Tool is still selected click on the little triangle next to the tool's icon at the top-left of the Options bar to view the tool preset. Select "Current Tool Only" and click the tiny arrow on the top-right and choose New Tool Preset. Give it a name and POOF! You'll see it appear as a new preset in the list.

The next time you want to use that style, just grab the Type Tool then choose your style name from the preset menu in the Options bar and you're good to go. You can create as many styles as you want.

Apple iMac Ad

2007-08-12T23:12:00.001-04:00

After I saw Apple new iMac ad, I thought why the Mighty Mouse is on the right side? Usually it's on the left side, right? What Apple designers were thinking? After a while I realized why? Tell me which of these two pictures look better to you or let’s say which one is basically more obvious and usable for a 30 seconds ad!

However I would have done it like this. Everything is clear!

No offense, just a idea! Apple has the best designers in the world.

What do you think about my idea?

Neue Helvetica

2007-07-29T19:12:00.001-04:00

"Helvetica is the most popular font in existence"
Guardian Unlimited

A redrawn version of Helvetica with more structurally unified set of weights and widths. Helvetica grew in popularity throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and more versions of the family were introduced. This led to vast confusion: the same weight is often referred to by two different names, design features often vary from one face to another, and so on. In the early 1980s (1983 to be exact), Linotype remedied this situation by redrawing the entire Helvetica family. Differences in alignment were corrected, subtle features were made consistent from one face to another, and all the weights and widths were designed to work together as one family. This new drawing is called Neue Helvetica (German for New Helvetica), and incorporates an easy-to-use numbering system to identify various styles and weights. The weight and width program of Helvetica Neue is similar to that of the Univers typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger.

Designers: Max Miedinger and Linotype Staff

Year: 1983

Copyright: Linotype

Publisher: Adobe Systems Inc.

Part of a family that offers an exceptionally wide range of weights and/or styles. Included with Apple's Mac OS X operating system.

Influenced by: Helvetica (1957)

Price: $149.00 USD

Monotype's Arial, designed in 1982, while different from Helvetica in some few details, has identical character widths, and is indistinguishable by most non-specialists. The capital letters C, G, and R, as well as the lowercase letters a, e, r, and t, are useful for quickly distinguishing Arial and Helvetica. Differences include:

Helvetica's strokes are typically cut either horizontally or vertically. This is especially visible in the t, r, and C. Arial employs slanted stroke cuts.

Helvetica's G has a well-defined spur; Arial does not.

The tails of the R glyphs and the a glyphs are different.

In 2007, Helvetica's 50th birthday, Microsoft replaced Arial as the default in Microsoft Office applications with a new sans-serif design Calibri by Luc(as) de Groot.

570 Lexington Avenue

570 Lexington Avenue

(formerly the GE Building and originally the RCA Building)

(S. E. corner at 51st Street)

Developer: The RCA Victor Company

Architect: Cross & Cross

Erected: 1931

The General Electric Building is a historic 50-floor skyscraper in Midtown New York City, United States, at 570 Lexington Avenue (southwest corner of Lexington and 51st Street). Originally known as the "RCA Victor Building" when designed by Cross and Cross in 1931, and sometimes known by its address to avoid confusion with the later GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center.

It backs up to the low Byzantine dome of St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue and shares the same salmon brick color. But from Lexington, the building is an insistently tall 50-foot stylized Gothic tower with its own identity, a classic Art Deco visual statement of suggested power through simplification. The base contains elaborate, generous masonry, architectural figural sculpture, and at on the corner above the main entrance, a conspicuous corner clock with the curvy GE logo and a pair of silver disembodied forearms. The crown of the building is a dynamic-looking burst of Gothic tracery, which is supposed to represent radio waves, and is lit from within at night.

Blue Eye

2007-07-03T00:41:00.000-04:00

The Blue Eye table has a glass surface and overhead camera, a projector and a mirror underneath the table. By placing an object on the table surface you can copy it to the screen beneath. Once the image of the object is imported, “images can then easily be moved, stretched and even animated by a user.”

This table is similar to the upright Microsoft TouchLight technology which lets users move and manipulate three-dimensional images with their hands. We also posted about the iBar interactive bar table, which is geared more towards design and pleasure, letting users create patterns of glowing light when touched. The DeLightTable by Thomas Gardner, an ‘interactive coffee table’, is also similair to the iBar interactive table.
