The future of icons

future icons

Once came across an entertaining post on the future of logos. The authors tried to look into the future and imagine how will look famous brands in a few years.

Inspired by the post, I thought it would be fun to make our own evolution icons. Options for the future of our world is a fiction invented by a huge number and it is likely that they someday, somehow will come true.

I just had to take a few picturesque scenarios, to place history and make the visualization.
Originally, I had Napoleonic plans: to take the most characteristic icons of OS and you could say five hundred years ahead. Along the way, I realized that the first bunch of icons in the course of time just disappear, and some just will not find counterparts in all fantastic versions of reality, and second icons then get quite a lot and given free time to create them will take about a year. Took four pieces, seemed the most promising and away we go:

Appendage

Usually initially make the icons larger than required, then reduce and finished. First, it turns out a higher quality end result, second is the end of the work there is a need to make an icon more or even turn into a mini illustration.
In this case, the source of love for the art)) were made a little too large.

PS Looked at the last posts in iconostase and couldn't resist — drew his version of the icons of popular services. I believe that the designers of a lot of undeserved attention from the squares (rounded or not), and forget that there are other beautiful shapes, such as irregular hexagons. Increase the number of angles that will improve the geometric, long live diversity)))

P. P. S. At the request of those wishing to spread hexagonal icons
the Archive .PSD and .PNG
In General, quite frankly, it was the banter)) I find it funny that people are so hung up on these long-suffering icons, so I wanted to show that there are a variety of shapes, gradients and shadow:)

Briefly on how to make your Qt geoservice plugin

+ =? The next step after GPS module , became its practical application in my project. Maybe someone this post will be more interesting. First, some source data: Required: the Offline mapping service the Integration with QML Features: the the libosmscout — library providing the OSM data in the wrapper with the friendly API the Qt5Location with dev branch summary of the previous 160 series In Qt since time immemorial was a wonderful beam-process QtMobility and he was so wonderful that he lived, he lived, and bent. Yes, of course, he is still here, and even used my N9 and someone's Blackberry, but the fact that Digia will no longer support this API at all. But in Digia are working not fools, they gradually started to pull the pieces QtMobility in Qt5. One such component is a QtLocation. In Qt 5.3, you can see only a piece QtLocation, QtPositioning which refers to Digia. I must say nice stuff, gave her the NMEA from the local socket, and she'

Database replication PostgreSQL-based SymmetricDS

In this article I will tell how to configure database replication for PostgreSQL. For the experiments we use a distribution of Linux CentOS 5.3, although this is not essential. we will use a version of PostgreSQL 8.4.7 and SymmetricDS-2.2.2. What is replication? In fact, it is a mechanism to automatically synchronize the contents of databases running on different servers. As a result of replication of these databases contain absolutely identical data. This is necessary for example in order to provide fault tolerance system (in the case of the fall of the first database server, the work enters the second), or to implement load balancing, different customers can serve different server. For replication you need at least two database servers, so prepare two identical servers with a PostgreSQL database on each. The first is the IP address 10.0.2.20, the second — 10.0.2.21, both gateway 10.0.2.2. You can do a virtual machine like VirtualBox to create two virtual servers and run

Yandex.Widget + adjustIFrameHeight + MooTools

Изображение
Many people know about this cool thing Yandex.Widget . To make your widget be easy enough to write server-side widget and connect it to Yandex.Widget via iframe . To control the widget Yandex offers APIs in a JS object widget , particularly with the help of it you can change the height of the frame under dynamic content (adjustIFrameHeight), it allows to get rid of the vertical scroll bar. But this API has a significant drawback — it is written using jQuery , which deprives developers of widgets for MooTools to use the Widget API. Below I will show how quite simple it is possible to bypass the Widget API to control the height of the frame using MooTools on the side of the widget. As we know from the contents of the frame it is impossible to access the object frame itself, if they are on different domains. To bypass this limitation, a proxy Widget API uses an iframe using hash (the content after # in the src of the frame) which provides for the exchange of comma
