We all have our own preferences when it comes to using our computers. Weather you’re a Windows, Mac or Linux user there will be applications and utilities that you use every day and probably take for granted. I’m not really talking about big money apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. I mean the little utilities and widgets that you have running in the background or browser plugins that you use in every day browsing. Well here are my top 5.
Of all the mythical horror creatures out there, it’s probably safe to say that none have been given the big screen (or straight-to-video) treatment as much as good old Mr. Vampire. Audiences have enjoyed having the crap scared out of them by one form of blood sucker or another for decades upon decades. But here, in all it’s glory is my list of the top 5 greatest Vampire Movies.
It’s no secret that the most difficult kind of movie to make is one where there is an existing fan base for the story in another form. The “The book is always gonna be better than the movie!” crowd are notoriously hard to please. So much so that there have only been a hand full of truly great adaptations, and even fewer for movies that are adapted from comic books.
When designing a site, obviously a major consideration, at each stage should be your target audience. This isn’t a new idea, it’s the same for any kind of media be it audio, video web or print. Only with the web, however is user interaction something that must be thought through carefully with regards to your target audience. Different people use the web in different ways. I’m not just talking about people with disabilities or people of different genders. Being tech savvy or non-tech savvy can have a massive impact on the way in which users will interact with the site and this, of course, will have knock on effects in terms of repeat visits and those all important money-making conversions. The fact that users may not, and probably will not, know as much about using the internet as you do is something that I think gets overlooked too often.
