SAVE THE DATE - The Wonder Emporium

Mediabarn is partnering with DC Design Babes once again for a great event coming up next week! As part of the Digital Capital Week here in DC, Mediabarn will be sponsoring “The Wonder Emporium”! With a great location just north of Dupont Circle, the warehouse will most certainly be packed with a ton of fellow creatives to network and party with! It promises to be a great night filled with live music, great events including digital art demonstrations, interactive painting and a live graphic design contest!

Mark your calendars for this can’t miss event on June 18th @ 9pm. Registration is quick and easy! Hurry and get your tickets now before it books up!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Designing User Experiences for Children

Mediabarn’s Director of Usability Research, Heather Nam, just published an article on UXmatters, an online magazine providing insights and inspiration for the user experience community. The article, called “Designing User Experiences for Children,” addresses potential pitfalls web designers can encounter when creating a user experience for children, suggests following design conventions that would be applicable for any user whether adult or child, and details specific findings from four recent web site usability studies conducted in the Mediabarn UX Lab with 85 children ages 3 to 9 years old.

Happy Holidays

Another year has come and gone(almost) and we're excited for 2010 because this year certainly seems to be ending on an upward and positive note! :)

We'd like to thank everyone that has helped play a part in Mediabarn's growth this past year and look forward to continuing our success together next year.

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to another successful year in 2010!

Also, if you haven't already seen our Holiday Card you should hurry up and check it out for any last minute gift ideas, recipes and stress relievers! We're hoping "The Cure" will help make an otherwise stressful Holiday Season go a little smoother for everyone this year! Or if you've been good and have already done all of your shopping, there are some yummy elixirs you can try!

Happy Holidays from all of us at Mediabarn!
