Facebook and Google’s Battling

For GDPR, Facebook is bringing back facial recognition to Europe and Google is battling 4,000 publishers. Not all of the big tech is having the same problems.

GDPR bolsters the protections of personal data of EU citizens and has had companies scrabbling to meet its requirements. There has been a deluge of pointless marketing emails and companies revamping their privacy policies ahead of the rules coming into force.

A Life Style Guide

A living style guide is a reference for a team of designers and developers to understand how an application will look and feel. It is used to convey design language, define design rationale, and explain how to use markup. A living style guide creates shared understanding among all team members and is a place for the whole team to reference how something should look and feel.

Living style guides should change and adapt to new needs and challenges that arise during the life of a project. Nothing should be written in stone, and they should consistently be refined and revised.

Productive Green Space Office

Huge amounts are invested in new office design, with the belief being that a nice physical environment inspires employees to do great deeds when they step into work. A recent study from Harvard found that design not only plays a huge role in our professional lives, but can also have an impact on our well-being when we get home as well.

The researchers examined 10 high-performing buildings across five U.S. cities in order to study the relationship between the conditions inside the building and both the productivity and well-being of the occupants.

Flower Bouquet Making

There is a misconception that learning how to make a DIY wedding bouquet is an arduous feat, which it’s absolutely not. But, hey, a foolproof step-by-step How-to never hurt anyone, right?

DIY doesn’t save the world, and it isn’t always cheaper. But when it comes to wedding flowers I personally feel that the latter of the two should be true. When you hire a florist you are not only price quoted for the flowers, but also the labor put into making your floral arrangements. So, if you can take the labor out of the cost by making your own bouquet, you’ll be spending a lot less money.
