When you are working for a big company, doing a branding for them or designing a product, they must ask you to create a style guide or UI guidelines document. Every graphic or an interaction designer must have the knowledge about style guide and User Interface Guidelines because both are very important but different from each others.

There is an excellent article about Style Guidelines “Designing Style Guidelines For Brands And Websites“  by Kat Neville is saying:

Why Create A Style Guide?

• You’ll have an easy guide to refer to when handing over the project.
• Makes you look professional. They’ll know you did everything for a reason
• You maintain control of the design. When someone does something awful, you can refer them to the document.
• You avoid cheapening the design, message and branding.
• Forces you to define and hone your style, making for a more cohesive design.

Today I am compiling a list of references that will help you to understand and learn about Style Guides and UI Guidelines. If you find a link suggest it in comment.

16. Eclipse User Interface Guidelines

In this document the Eclipse user interface guidelines are defined.

Eclipse is a universal tool platform – an open, extensible IDE for anything, but nothing in particular.

Eclipse allows you to independently develop tools that integrate with other people’s tools so seamlessly, you won’t know where one tool ends and another starts. The very notion of a tool, as we know it, disappears completely.

This shopping cart mainly design for Facebook but you can use it any other Flash template. I found it very easiy to implement in Facebok  and you can easily customize it through xml file which contain almost almost 40 configuration
parameters. It has has a powerful catalog to display any kind of media content, images, swfs and videos. Also several layered photoshop files with the thumbnail and image design of the preview are included in the pack.

You can get some errors when testing this template on your local PC/Laptop but everything will be just fine as soon as you upload all the files on your online server. If you still wanna test it locally – add the folder location to trusted location in the Adobe Global Settings.

1. From The Help File: Facebook Paypal Shop Template by pezflash

POWERFUL GALLERY WITH UNLIMITED ITEMS

You can set any number of items inside your catalog, you can even change the thumbnail navigation on bottom to allow more number of items on screen, all from XML. Also inside the gallery you can set unlimited media files, including images, swf or videos, in any aspect ratio.

PAYPAL SYSTEM

Using the powerful Paypal Payment System, this file allows you to create your own Online Shopping Cart within minutes, without needing any kind of server script (except PHP needed for sending the contact form), for an awesome price.

EMAIL CART PROCESS & DISCOUNT SYSTEM

Since version 3.5 a new payment option has been included. Now users can select to pay the cart through default paypal system, or pre-order the cart by Email. A form will appears and all the data will be processed and received in the Admin Email account. Also, a new discount option for the whole cart has been added.

FACEBOOK OPTIMIZED

The size and proportions of this file has been optimized for a clean and smooth Facebook viewing. You can change that size, of course, editing the fla, as this file can be also used as an standalone flash application for your site or your current template.

USEFUL CONTACT MODULE WITH FORM AND SHARING NETWORKS

You can include your company contact info, as well as google map link, all through html tags inside just one xml node. Also includes a powerful and flexible icon submenu with unlimited sharing networks links. A useful contact form is also included. It uses PHP to send the filled information.

2. FILE MANAGEMENT

HOW TO MANAGE AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR FILES

The system to use this file on Facebook it’s easy.

1. Firstable, edit and customize your deploy folder with your own products images, prices and info.

2. Create your Paypal account (if you don’t own one yet) and setup the Paypal settings inside the main config node in the xml.

3. Once you have everything correctly running on local, then OPEN THE FLA, go to first frame, layer codes, open “action” panel and set there the final pàth on your server where all the files will be located (create a folder especifically for this): _global.serverPath = “http://www.yourdomain/fb/”;

4. Publish the file, upload everything to that server folder and follow the steps on next page.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR BUSINESS FACEBOOK PAGE AND ADD THE SHOPPING CART TAB

If you want to use this file inside Facebook (remember that you can also use it inside any template as an external SWF Module), all you need to do is create an official Facebook Page and then setup a Facebook Static FBML application that will allow you to add FLASH contents to one new TAB in your FB Page.
Follow these links to learn how to manage you Flash Shopping Cart inside Facebook.

STEP 1. CREATE A FB ACCOUNT

Almost sure you already have one : ) But just in case:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=1067

STEP 2. CREATE AN OFFICIAL (BUSINESS) FB PAGE

Once logged in your FB account, you need to create an official page (also called FAN PAGE) to add there your flash content. With one FB user account you can manage different Business Pages, with independent contents.
To create one, be sure you are logged in FB, and visit again this link:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
Now you are going to create an Official Page using the provided form. You can choose the page to be a local business page, a product page or a fan (artist, music group…) page. I normally recommend to create a local business page, to avoid future copyright problems with the name. Follow the form steps and at the end you are ready to integrate
the flash content inside your business page.

ADD FLASH CONTENT USING FBML APPLICATION

Follow the steps in the link below to add your flash tab to your business page. It’s required to install a FB Apllication called FBML (Facebook Markup Language), basically an apllication to add any kind of HTML content to a TAB in teh FB page. You will use that application to add the SWF Cart to your page.

Facebook Pages: Introduction to FBML

Once you gave add the contents inside the FBML Application, then copy & paste the following lines, changing the URL path to the swf file and the image with your own URLs (the path where put uploaded the files):
<fb:swf
swfbgcolor=’ffffff’
swfsrc=’http://www.yourdomain/fb/paypalshop.swf’
imgsrc=’http://www.yourdomain/fb/init_image.jpg’ width=’520′ height=’550′
/>

CHECK IF EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY

Once everything installed just go back to your Business page and click on the new tab that will appear within the next normal tabs. The initial image will appear, and clicking on it, the SWF with the shopping cart will load.
IMPORTANT: FB requires the initial image to activate the flash content to be displayed on the FBML application. Don’t try to load the swf directly skipping the imgsrc variable, it will not work.

All Other and very important information about  How to Configure XML, Reference to PAYPAL setting, SITE MODULES: Shopping cart Title, Text and Shipping combo setting, Catalog/ Product entries, Info and Contact MODULE Settings, Flash IDE Customization, Contact Form Configuration(PHP) All these You will get in  help file.

It’s not just your site’s home page that’s important. You need to design every page on your site with the same intensity of focus. That’s because you don’t know on which page a visitor might enter your site. Not everyone types your home page’s URL into their browsers; some visitors come via links found elsewhere on the Web. To that end, you’ll need to consider some pages on your site as dedicated landing pages—those pages that visitors land on when entering from another site. Some landing pages might be obvious—product pages, for example, or pages devoted to a particular brand. These pages should be treated as if they were home pages.
Other landing pages are devised to serve other web marketing activities. For example, if you create a pay-per-click advertisement, you need to create a unique landing page that customers see when they click that ad. You don’t
want customers clicking from a product-specific ad to land on your site’s general home page; you want them landing on a page that follows directly from the advertisement they just clicked.

Landing pages of this type are all about presenting a consistent image to potential customers. You wouldn’t get a lot of sales if someone clicked on an ad for blenders and landed on a page that talks about your company’s vast international manufacturing capability. That sort of inconsistent message is a surefire way to get people to click back to someone else’s site.

So you need to create a series of activity-specific landing pages on your site. Each landing page has to be product- or service-specific and reference the ad or activity that led to the page. Each landing page must also continue your overall site branding, as every page on your site should. Use the landing page to continue the customer’s journey; give her the information she clicked for and provide a path for her to get even more info or purchase the product.

Here I have complied the best Landing Pages from Themeforest which must help in your web marketing plan.

Art is the product of human creativity: a medium to create pleasure as well as express the conditions of life and feelings. Art also records history: who we are; what’s around us; and how we interpret life, feelings, and interpersonal interactions.

This concrete expression has come in many forms: prints, drawings, paintings, and sculpture. With today’s digital technology, however, the art form of photography reaches new creative levels, taking on new forms as people flock to this new digital medium.

In this article, I cover the selective work of Digital creative art form of photography.
