Want to make people run? Don’t give them a badge for running. Give them a ball and shove four sticks in the ground. They’ll run around the field chasing the ball (and each other) for ages. The experience is intrinsically challenging and amusing, and the running is a by-product. Games rely on dynamics like these and rules to generate the conditions for positive engagement.

I´ve just finished customizing Annemarie Woods new blog! She is a very artistic Set & Costume designer. See how it looks: http://annemariewoods.tumblr.com/
I started from Vacant, a blog theme made by Craig Rood and Sam Stefan, and customized the html&css from there.
Can you think a future like this? Every action & step from the beginning of the day, to be gamify.
It´s a great time to be a UX Designer

I´ve been working with the landing page of Spreddit, a new startup offering a smarter way of paying. It will allow to pay in instalments on the Credit card for free. Site is ready & online!

One page Site
There´s a tendecy to start making One-page sites, and so displaying all the information in a compelling way to enhance User experience.
I´m preparing a one-page site for a new Landing, so I have been looking for many references. Some:
GetBrandid | Looks like a slide presentation, a indeed got that male feeling.
FromDoppler | They change their look upside down. Looks more funky, and way to big. It change the corporative look, and got a bit more attractive (at least for designers). Like the way it always focus on one thing only. Big Registration Button.
TheFashionPhotography | Clear & clean. Like the topMenu when it´s fixed.
Canvas | This looks quite experimental, and you have to scroll down in order to reveal content. Great for promoting the interactive agency.
WhyInteractive | Taking advantages of the scrolling to show they project. Presentation-screen size, great for focusing attention & getting the user interact with the project that´s displayed.
Kidzrevil & IndieChefsWeek | Both pages where build in one-page parallax, starting from a template that can be bought in Themeforest. Pages look great. Anyway… they can get a bit confusing for a regular user.
&U | Last one! The scrolling comes together with simple animations making the site more enjoyable.
UI Guidelines are always a good starting point to understand the principles and patterns behind a platform. It helps to understand how a platform “ticks” and how applications should look and behave.
UX Archive: A new mobile app pattern library that focuses on showing user flows for common tasks (like sign up, searching, sharing).
