Mary Panzer is an expert photo historian, with oodles of beautiful images from early American photographers. She writes and lectures on photography, and it was a thrill to sort out how to get everything included on the site with multiple ports of access. A valuable lesson here was learning to be patient as we experimented with ways to access all the content; we eventually settled on a system where books, articles, and interviews could be quickly found through the menu, image links, searching, or cross-referencing. As for design, much of the heavy lifting was done by Mathew Brady, Lewis Hine, and Henry Clay Anderson (photographers featured on the site).

Another concern in Mary Panzer’s site was finding the right typeface to legibly, yet decoratively, display the important texts which accompany each book and photo. Typography is consistently a concern at Miniboom, especially given the special psychology behind legibility, kerning, and line height. It’s a process.

For this site, we needed only minimal social networking (Facebook, Twitter, an RSS feed), since we wanted to keep the focus on the scholarly work in the site, which would not be updated quite as much as other kinds of sites.

Steven Zezza is a Paris-based professional photographer specializing in wedding, actor and fashion photography. Mr. Zezza needed a site that would showcase his work front and center. Low on text and big on vision, Miniboom created a design that would allow for slideshow functions as well as multiple single photo features. A simple and unique portfolio, in this case has one Mr. Zezza work in several well-known Paris based magazines and one set of photos of a Paris radio station.

Mr. Zezza’s site is a modified WordPress theme, allowing for the photographer to update his/her portfolio as that new gig may be just around the corner, it is important to have control over one’s public artistic presentation. The minimalist design let’s the photos speak for themselves. The site also uses no Flash, allowing it to be viewed on all smart devices including iPhones. It’s in cases like these that it pays to work with Miniboom where we always take Web standards seriously.

Mr. Zezza contacted Miniboom to make a good portfolio site. After intitial consultations, work from the ground to the World Wide Web took about two weeks with revisions and editing. Even after the initial set-up of the site, Miniboom continues to work with Mr. Zezza, helping him create the Web-based face to express his sense of style and flair.

The Internet is forever. A terrifying prospect, indeed. But if data on the Web has an infinite shelf life, do the same rules and ethics abide as in the real world? They do, says computer programmer and digital artist Zach Gage.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Where does it come from?

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing.

  • qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet
  • vel illum qui dolorem
  • consectetur, adipisci velit

All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Where can i get some?

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose http://miniboom.net/Miniboom/wp-admin/post.php?unfoldmenu=1(injected humour and the like).
