OCI Annual Report

The Imagine Annual Report is truly an original project, from cover to cover. Overseas Council International came to us at the end of 2006 with a request: Design a beautiful, tactile and visually engaging annual report in time for their 2007 conference in San Diego. Of course, this request came just a few weeks before the deadline, but we were up to the challenge.

Read more about the piece and see additional images in the Portfolio section of our web site.

Mouse Rage Syndrome (MRS)

If you spend any time on a computer, it is likely you have experienced "Mouse Rage Syndrome" (MRS). Researchers from the UK's Social Issues Research Centre state that MRS can cause negative effects on the user's immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems, resulting in a quickened heart rate, profuse sweating, and furious clicking of the mouse.

It is believed that the MRS is caused by:
- Slow to load pages
- Confusing / difficult to navigate layouts
- Excessive pop-ups
- Unnecessary advertising
- Site unavailability

The study was commissioned by Rackspace Managed Hosting and published by the UK's Social Issues Research Centre. Via Cream Cheese & Caviar.
