FIFA World Cup 2014

June 2, 2014 By Tessa

Football (soccer) enthusiasts around the world are eagerly waiting for the onset of the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be held in Brazil from June 12 to July 13. While anything is possible, all pointers are that Brazil will win this edition. This year’s world cup games are unique in many aspects and this could explain why many people are looking forward to it.

Did you know that only 8 countries have managed to take the world cup home since its inception of the tournament? These countries include the 2014 host Brazil, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, England, Argentina and Uruguay. FIFA and other organizers of this event believe that the viewership of the 2014 world cup finals will surpass the one billion mark after recording 715.3 million and 909.6 million viewers in the 2006 and 2010 respectively.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup will make history as the first tournament where goal line technology is used. Furthermore, fans for the first time got an opportunity to help in the naming of the official ball for the tournament called Brazuca. Addidas remains the official supplier of the balls to the tournament.

In terms of cost, ridiculous amounts were spent in construction and renovation of stadiums. The figure stands at $3.5 billion that is twice the amount spent in South Africa in 2010. This amount can send you to space approximately 14,000 times. If you intend to watch the games in person, then you must be ready to spend like never before.

On average, a hotel room will cost you $282 on the opening day in Sao Paulo and $371 on final day in Rio de Janeiro. Even more amazing is that a 50-minute flight between these two cities will cost you $514. The average ticket cost is $1,345.

The Future of Mobile Technologies: Apps vs. Platforms

April 8, 2014 By Tessa

App revenues have skyrocketed in the U.S., Japan, China, and other countries. Experts predict that the number of downloaded apps will reach half a trillion by 2015. Social and messaging apps have become popular among mobile users. Apps such as KakaoTalk, WeChat, and Snapchat are popular options. The frequency, reach, and retention rate are amazing. Productivity and utilities apps and games, shopping, and lifestyle applications are also popular. And manufacturers enjoy substantial revenue growth. The question is whether apps will become distribution channels and platforms or will stay independent. One thing is sure, mobile technologies are here to stay. Given that 4.7 billion sessions were tracked on a single day, this is a fast growing market with endless opportunities.

New Genres and Developments in Graphic Design

February 18, 2014 By Tessa

Animation has evolved to new heights, and today Internet users enjoy keyframes, performance, real time, and interactive animation, and more. Infrared light is used to capture the movements of actors and create animated characters. Special software is used for this. New software analyzes and computes movements, and they are transferred to the skeletons of virtual characters. The new technology can be used in different fields – by sports journalists, athletes, and even doctors. And graphic designers increasingly use and combine different genres, from stop motion and handcrafted to motion graphics and CG. They create unique styles and genres, with more and more designers using mixed-media animation. Motion graphics artists rediscover old techniques using cutting-edge technologies.
