Hello globe, every Friday, twitter #FollowFriday hashtag swarms with @blabla @bloblo @xyz and so on. For me This hashtag is amazing it helped me find the most talented pioneers in my industry,but when people recommended them to me they told me why should i follow those people. using other ways than #FF, either on real life or on chat,  how the hell could you tell why about everybody you recommend into 140 characters it sounds weird. and why the hell should i follow somebody i don’t really know what he dose or is he active or not. its a waste of time when it comes to check the tweets, when you’re using some sort of social networking applications which everybody now uses due to the ease of use they serve for social networking such as TweetDeck or Digsby it; turns out to be very annoying, a bubble would pupout every 5 seconds with twitter users that others recommend pilled within each other @abcd @efjh @ijkl @mnop @xyz. The intensity of the tweets on the #ff hashtag won’t allow you to explore every profile that’s first, second, most people including myself are really picky on who to follow, most likely the guy should be related to your industry or audience because your main reason for using twitter is  to  extract the most use of the rapid tweet flow on your twitter app.

So I came up with #FFF, Foto Follow Friday is simply an image in which you include a fair amount of info about yourself and what you do and upload it into tweetphoto.com or simply drag & drop it into your tweet deck. Now simply tweet it and hashtag it with #ff

on TweetDeck:

a click will take you to Tweetphoto:

Now comes the magic, if you already didn’t ask people in your tweet that includes the photo to add a comment with their info, just write a comment and tell them to do so, now you got people who interest you, and they got it too. No automatically  everybody who posted a comment his @name will be retweeted. this photo and that’s what #FFF is all about,an anti-annoyance valuable recommendation system.   Overlooking it grabs more attention. Photos always do better than text. so, listing up people, #FF is a stupid idea.

Have you ever imagined how a ninja would work if he had to web designer?

RESEARCH

In his Buke Mymokush, military historian Hanawa Hokinoichi writes of the ninja:
” They travelled in disguise to other territories to judge the situation of the enemy, they would inveigle their way into the midst of the enemy to discover gaps, and enter enemy castles to set them on fire, and carried out assassinations, arriving in secret.”

A shinobi must always get to know his target to accomplish his task, before involving your mentor or art director in the issue, dig it yourself and get as much information as you can about your target, its fatal when you begin without this technique, you’ll probably find yourself fighting a high class Ninja by summoning a chicken.

SKETCH

Sketching is the most basic, yet important technique of the Ninja web designer’s life, it’s Taijutsu, It’s a must if you really want  to master Ninjutsu and maybe Genjutsu if you sketch hard.
When using your sketch pad you’re surely practicing your techniques, improving your tools usage and increasing the chances of coming up with new web Jutsus urself. It’s the beginning of every high class Ninja designer. You don’t really learn the invisibility technique nor walking on water, you only need to practice. So start building your battle plan using a sketch book.

MOVE FASTER

Now basically when ninjas need to perform more than one or two tasks at a time they use kage bunshin no jutsu (Shawdow replication technique) and come up with clones of themselves, if your unable to do this, you’re going to be having to learn some more of Taijutsu and work hard to perform your tasks faster with only yourself, no clones. So you have to move faster to assassinate your tasks quickly, quietly, and effectively.
To achieve this without a shadow replication here are some tips to work faster when you have to multi-task:

1. Work according to a schedule.
2. Take a ten minutes break every hour.
3. Consume a certain amount of physical energy every day,
4. Keep a folder called “Graphics Well” on your desktop, throw everything you come across into it, vectors, icons, rasters, buttons, brushes, fonts, patterns and high resolution images.

Swiftly, Explore your well for any “This project related” elements for both tasks, you won’t use everything you put aside for this task and maybe nothing, but it will surely help you assassinate faster.

TEAM WORK

The ninja did not always work alone. Teamwork techniques exist, learn how to accept constructive criticism, Genin designers always, and I mean Always take it personal while it’s never been. It’s for your own good to become an elite ninja.

Coding is a kind of Taijutsu, it does not matter if you’re able to code or not, but every high class ninja knew the basic tactics of chopping a potato, so every web designer must know HTML and CSS. at the end of the day, it would be better if you work closely with a developer, keeping your mind free of tags and codes maximizes your inspiration.

USING GENJUTSU

When you start building the structure of the website using technology, you need guidelines to work on, that’s Genjutsu, and you have to use it to accomplish your task neatly. Genjutsu in web design is to sketch again using a certain Ninja software to bring your target into a clearer spot so you can have a better look at things and hit accurately. Genjutsu is the guideline your goin to work on, its illusionary but without it your task will end up scattered. And that’s not a way of Ninja.

COMBINING GENJUTSU & NINJUTSU

Now you are close, once you sat up your guidelines and basic structure, it’s time for some real techniques, spice up your piece of art with icons and colorful juicy buttons in a reasonable amount. And you might also need to summon this color scheme tool http://colorschemedesigner.com/ to come up with the color scheme or to make sure your scheme is harmonized. Name your layers, and use groups to have a neat, clean kill!
