After turning SS on and logging in, go to IMDb.com. Open up the SS bar and you’ll see “angemeetsworld” made 4 shifts. Click them and you should see them all at once, which is neat.

Nothing? Then please go to my IMDb trail and click the floating pics.

Still nothing? Then you can see each shift separately: ss1, ss2, ss3, ss4.

If all of that fails, blame Mu — Moi. Me.

As for the intervention, I’ve been using IMDb for years, and I’ve always admired the breadth of the information they’ve been able to collect through research and some collective input. Unfortunately, the accumulation has created clutter. Even though they had a layout makeover a few years ago, I don’t think it was nearly enough. The message boards alone can merit another look at how IMDb needs an update. The search bar is easy enough to use, but the home page could definitely use some streamlining. After hearing that IMDb was looking to add more streaming video content from sites like Hulu, I thought it was ironic that they could really learn a thing or two from Hulu’s design.

Then again, IMDb remains highly popular, so if it ain’t broke don’t fix it?

I have seen a few other motion graphics similarly unique and compelling, leading me to wonder how the development of design software informs the success or failure of small businesses. Now that companies don’t need to pay for studio time, spending hours and hours to create basic animation, how will that effect visual communications? While you still obviously have to pay animators, it is much more feasible to keep someone on your own payroll who has design talent, and the equipment investment is still quite minimal. 

This is my field of interest for my Travelogue. I know that in terms of specificity, I am no where near picking a hotel in a specific city in Asia. I think that this is the country I want to go to though. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, I am one of the new kids.
