Jika Client Anda Seorang Designer

Apakah Anda juga sama seperti saya, seorang Web Developer? Apakah Anda pernah bekerja sama dengan seorang designer?

Saya memiliki pengalaman unik bekerja sama dengan clients yang nota bene profesinya adalah seorang designer. Parahnya, client saya ini bukan seseorang yang pernah menyentuh web design sama sekali. Ada yang memiliki basic design grafis, fashion dan lain sebagainya.

Kemudian apa salahnya kalau mereka bukan web designer? Memang dari sisi Design semuanya memerlukan ketrampilan dan jiwa seni. Namun dari sisi teknis, membuat design web tidak sama dengan membuat printing design. Ketika kita membuat design web, kita harus langsung memperhatikan bagaimana nanti ketika kita akan membuat script HTML-nya, penerapan konsep SEO dalam website tersebut tanapa harus mengurangin esensi seni, bagaimana dengan navigasi dari design yang kita buat tersebut dan sebagainya.

New Year at Jogjakarta

Wow…i have a fantastic holiday in Jogjakarta. In 4 days i have traveled around Jogjakarta and meet new friends there. When i arrived, it was in the morning. So the sun shine brightly. And i directly go to the hotel by Taxi.

So many changing there since the last time i went there 4 years ago. There are so many mall now, even Carefure available now in Jogjakarta. I think all of you already know the most favorite place to shopping in Jogjakarta right? Ya you right. Malioboro is the most favorite place to shopping First night at Jogjakarta i spent there. But it wasn’t enough only in one night, believe me :) . You will find so many unique t-shirt there with unique Jogjakarta style off course.

I was celebebrate my New Year Night also at Malioboro. Actualy it wasn’t my plan to celebrate New Year Party at Malioboro. My plan was just go there to shoping and then go to my sisters house to celebrate the New Year. I was went there at 7.00PM, at that time the Malioboro street wasn’t jamed. So i still shoping around the Malioboro street. And guest what, at 9.00PM me and my girlfriends want to go home and we event can’t crross the street. So many people was going down to the street to celebrate the New Year Party. Many motorbike were parked in the middle of street, even the Police should block the street because the street was full of people and motorbike.

So me and my girlfriends decided to celebrate our own party at Malioboro street because i can’t co back home. So many people blowing the horn and there was so crowded. At the midnight, the fireworks party began. So beautifull at that night.

Third day i was went to Borobudur. If you want to go there, don’t forget to find the Punta Dewa statue. People said that if you can reach the Punta Dewa Statue from the front, then just make a wish. They said the Punta Dewa will make you wish come true. Women should reach his leg, men should reach his hand and for the children should reach his shoulder. Believe it or not, it hard to reach his legs but we make it :) .

Happy Holiday

Do you already have a palan for this holiday? I did :D . This holiday i’ll go to Jogja meet my sister there. This is my first year celebrating New Year out of town. I am quit busy these year. Doing some project and contest make me frustrated. So that’s why i need some vocation and choose Jogjakarta as my destination.

My last time go to Jogja was 5 years ago i think. So now my time to remember all street there. Hope there are not to much change that can make me get lost :) . But don’t worry i will always stay connect with my laptop there and check my email periodically. Hope there are not much spam :D

Hidden Arrow in FedEx Logo

I’m sure most of you already know what FedEx is. But did you realize that the FedEx logo contains an arrow in negative space between the E and X ? After you see the logo above, I’m sure you will. I guest that’s why FedEx become the progressive company in their field.

That was the creative thing i thought when you want to create a logo.  The process to creating a visualitations only from company visions and mission is the hardest part.

Logo is not a clipart

Yesterday me and my art director were went to my customer office to discuss about her brand new business.  We discuss about everything and do some brain storming. Brain storming is really needed when you creating an Identity Design. We talk about her vision and mission, her hobby, what is the business core, how is the feel that she want to show etc.

What’s make me shock during that discussion? She said that a designer has give her a price to creating a logo for her new company. He give her IDR 500.000 per logo. It really make us shock and i think Mr. Budiman Hakim will really sad to hear this. What logo that can they create using only IDR 500.000. Then i ask her, “Did he give you a logo guideline after the logo finish?”, she said ” I don’t Know. What is logo guideline? ”

Good website design

Yesterday my friends called. He said that his boss want to optimize his company website. Then i go to his company URL. And guest what i found. The website is fully created using flash. I’m not saying that his company website is not good. That really nice and easy to navigate. But Google and Yahoo really don’t like it because they can’t read the content.

Then what i suggest, redesign it if they want to make a Search Engine Friendly site without cutting the essential. I know this is a hard decisions to them. But they have to make a choice. If you want your website listing well by Google or Yahoo, you need to make a good layout and copy write. Use Flash only if you already have a Strong Brand.
