Google Report by Sergey Brin, Lawrence Page

The College Report That Started Google

in

Read the original report on Google by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page – the school project at Stanford University that began the Search Engine mecca you know today.

This amazing article, a shorter version of their entire project, is still original and unedited.

Amazing to consider that Google originally contained a database of 24 million pages, on 109gb of disk space. By comparison, most home computers now come with 500gb of disk space!

Today, it’s reported that Google contains an index of over 45 billion pages! [source]

Though Google has changed a lot since then, if you’re interested in the base of how they pioneered the Search Engine industry, this is a great read. If you’re into Social Media, Page Rank, how to get better ranking in Google, or Search Engine Optimization – this is a necessary read!

Yes, time’s have changed. But there was no template. Web developers across the globe paved the way, and for this, we salute you.

9 Minute Graduate Speech That’s Brilliant

in ,

Creative Made VideoIf you watch one thing today, watch this. “This is Water” is an animation short from the graduate speech by David Foster Wallace, an award winning American novelist. It might put your world in perspective, but further the video artfully illustrates the speech in perfect harmony, bringing the words to life as 9 minutes of your life blissfully gain meaning.

The speech is brilliant, but what makes the video a success? Creative animations combined with typography of a certain hand drawn looking slab serif font. This creates branding through the video, with the typography helping set the mood and keeping focus on the meaning of the words, while still being artful in presentation.

Label Design with Exercise to Calorie Rating

New York pushes for Calorie Content Labels with a Twist

Label Design with Exercise to Calorie Rating

New York is proposing a new food label campaign – that displays how much exercise you’d need to work of that many calories. Just one bottle of soda or juice can equal 50 minutes of running or other cardio to burn off the fatty calories from sugar – but what we’re interested in is the physical nature of the campaign. The design! The execution!

The campaign so far has featured posters showing a map of the 3 miles you’d have to walk to burn off 20-onces of soda – from Union Square in Manhattan to Brooklyn – In the NYC Subway System.

We love this change, as the focus on what’s in our food becomes more clear, eating healthy is also easier when the facts are presented to everyone.

Credit Card Payment for Design Services

You asked for it, we delivered! We’ve accepted PayPal payments since the start, and though you can pay via credit cards through PayPal, one of our clients noted how cumbersome this was.

Keeping with our all-digital environmentally friendly system, our invoices are live web generated and emailed – all you have to do is click “Pay Invoice” from your email. You can quickly and easily enter your credit card information, submit payment, and receive a “thanks!” from all of us at CreativeMade™.
