A fresh-looking Design Blog

Ubuntu Article

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally done it: the Design Blog has a new look! Let me take you through the main aspects we wanted to improve on. Why change? The last blog design was nearly four years old. With its small font sizes and crammed pages, the text was difficult to ...

Academia vs Industry

Ubuntu User Experience

I have now worked at Canonical, ‘The company behind Ubuntu,’ for almost 4 months. The time has flown by, and I am finally getting up to speed with the working environment, the people and the atmosphere. So what differences have I noticed between the academic setting and the industrial setting? My biggest fear of moving ...

Prototyping Navigation with JavaScript

Ubuntu Development

I wondered if I could make an easily updateable, prototype site in order to test a number of different IA’s using an XML file to represent the sitemap. This post is about what I did and how to get some sample code if you want to use or extend it for yourself. The XML The ...

Calum and Mika’s cakes.

Ubuntu Notes

We are blogging a lot of cakes, so to economise on space, I’ve paired Mika and I’s latest baking attempts. Last week was my turn to bake a cake. I was nervous. There’s a lot of pressure, and it is no easy task! So I chose to bake a loaf (but relying on one design ...

Gone to the island

Ubuntu Notes

The release schedule of Ubuntu is tied to a 6 month cycle, also called cadence. Similarly, a lot of our work and planning falls onto our diaries like country festivals on farmer’s calendar. Ubuntu Developer Summits are obviously the main events. However, if you work on Canonical Design Team, there are plenty of other events ...

Introducing web apps

Ubuntu Design

As you might have heard from the blogosphere, we are going to start to ship our take on web apps. Let me take the opportunity to explain to you some of the reasoning behind them and some of their characteristics. Why I would split the why question in more parts. Is the Web relevant? Today, ...

Cake

Ubuntu Notes

Every weekly team meeting someone is tasked with baking a cake. Ivanka baked for this week’s cake day – check out her cheesecake! So you know, this is not going to become a culinary blog, but cake day is a good reason to post! Being a designer is not (always) a piece of cake.   ...
