Color differences, android vs laptop and iphone
I developed a logo for an app I’m going to create. The problem is that on my phone the color is WAY off…like NEON.
I checked it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 and the same thing. On my son’s iPhone, its accurate. On two l…

Does Feng Shui have an impact on User Experience?
Being a part of the digital world since the beginning of internet, I’ve seen many different web design techniques, from the obviously scary example from Lings Cars…
. . . to web designs that enforces simplicity and gives a clam impression such as Web Design Feng Shui (DE).
It’s obvious why one of the two is closer to what we do, than the other.
Feng Shui is, according to Wikipedia:
a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment. The term feng shui literally translates as “wind-water” in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the passage of the now-lost Classic of Burial recorded in Guo Pu’s commentary. Feng shui is one of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified as physiognomy (observation of appearances through formulas and calculations). The feng shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of “invisible forces” that bind the universe, earth, and humanity together, known as qi.
The simple first phrase “harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment”, sound very much like User Experience. Therefore, I wonder if there is there something, we can learn from Feng Shui even though its original aim is physical and not digital. Searching for “feng shui” + “web design” gives roughly 450k hits, with a lot of guides, best practices and templates to use for various frameworks. Does Feng Shui have an impact on User Experience, or are they not related at all.

What was the reason behind total transition towards wide screen displays by the manufacturers?
I often hear complaints by users who are not satisfied by the wide-screen monitors and prefer traditional screen ratios of 4:3 and 5:4. Unfortunately, such monitors now are quite rare and the laptops with such screens are com…
