5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The trick for advertisers is to design a compact image that will attract attention. While Tew did sell each of his million pixels within a matter of months, a fair proportion of the space was purchased by businesses involved in the seedier side of the web - pharmaceuticals, get rich quick, gambling and so on - as well as other pixel-advertising sites. Digging around for imitators reveals a lot of empty pixels. Anyway, Robert Black, an Australian graphic designer, has resurrected the idea with a new twist: the Million Dollar Cu.be. As Black points out, a million is such a large number that you can't visualise it. But a cube with sizes measuring 100 units is far more manageable. And what's 100 times 100 times 100? One million. And being a designer, Black's site has more going for it than most of Tew's imitators had. So how's the project progressing? Find out on page two. |
