WebINK is happy to announce the winner of their contest to “Scale Mt. Default” is Amber Case, with her very exuberant look at the top of the mountain. It’s as if she had lived though many years of using default fonts on the internet, and was now free to use thousands of fonts wherever she deems fit. Oh wait, there we go.

Scale Mt. Default at WebVisions NYC – Win an iPad!
Live type is revolutionizing web design. No longer do designers and developers need to choose from a limited set of six typefaces – with WebINK, overcoming the obstacles of default fonts is a thing of the past.
As a fun way to celebrate the new era of web typography, WebINK will set up the Mt. Default photo backdrop at WebVisions NYC on Jan. 20th – take your picture in mountain climbing gear and post it on Twitter with the text “I scaled Mt. Default!” and include the hashtag #WebINKphoto.
David Stump (@davidstump) had the winning photo in Atlanta. WebVisions NYC attendees who post their awesome and hilarious photos will be entered to win an iPad.

Five Reasons Your Boss Should Send You to WebVisions
Sure, conferences are great fun and offer a chance to hobnob with fellow professionals, but sometimes your boss needs a little more than a simple reassurance that the event will offer real value for the money. Fear not, here are just a few good reasons for your boss to happily sign off on sending you to the show:
- Explore the future of web and mobile design, UX, digital media and technology from an all-star lineup of visionary speakers.
- Take in-depth workshops that dig into subjects like HTML5 and CSS3, interface design, user research and game development.
- Network and meet people from around the globe — potential partners, clients, business associates and mentors.
- Show off your company as a strategic thinker and leader in digital media, mobile and interactive.
- Share the WebVisions experience and help guide the future of your organization.
From the beginnings of WebVisions, leading companies such as Weiden & Kennedy, Waggoner Edstrom, Yahoo, Netflix, Nike, Intel and Hewlett Packard (to name a few) have retooled and reshaped their web and mobile strategies, establishing new processes and streamlined operations to become online leaders. Won’t you join them?
Experience Design, the New Frontier
Sorry, but in an interactive world even great visual design just isn’t enough any more. It’s time for designers to go past the visual design principles that we all learned, and step into the often unknown realm of experience design. Because, in the new world of web and mobile devices, a good visual design does not necessarily translate into a good user experience. And a good “experience” is what people want, even expect.
In “Design Principles: The Philosophy of UX”, you will learn to go beyond visual design. Whitney Hess will share a universal set of user experience design principles, and help you figure out how to create and use your own set of guiding principles, principles to take what you do to the next level. Find the philosophy that cultivates positive experiences for your users.
Whitney consults primarily with startups and has collaborated with Happy Cog. She was on the design team at Liquidnet, an international financial software company, and an interaction designer at Digitas and Tribal DDB. Whitney writes about improving the human experience on her blog, “Pleasure and Pain”.
