As he set foot in New Delhi to be the guest of honour at the Republic Day parade, Barack Obama became the first sitting US president to visit India twice – an indicator of how important a trade and strategic ally the country has become to the US. On the radio show ‘Mann Ki Baat’, co-hosted with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said: “We are making a lot of history in a very short time.”
The two countries covered a lot of ground on crucial policy issues during the three-day visit. MSLGROUP’s latest infographic, ‘Breakthrough Moment’, highlights the implications of the visit, analysing the substance behind the symbolism.
The key announcements included a clearing of the decks for civilian nuclear cooperation. Besides opening up opportunities for India to acquire nuclear technology, it would also mean significant opportunities for US companies to supply equipment and build reactors.
The renewal of the decade-long defence pact will enable joint manufacturing and boost the Indian defence industry. The joint strategic vision for Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean will help safeguard maritime routes.
In addition, President Obama’s announcement of $4 billion worth of investments is set to boost trade, investment and jobs in India.

The purpose for content marketing is not only to attract customers but also to retain them through the consistent creation and curation of content which is relevant and valuable, thereby having a strong impact on consumer behavior in terms of either enhancing or changing that behavior.
Content Marketing Examples: Case Studies
There are many excellent examples of how content marketing should be done. But here, let’s merely focus on the one example to highlight how an effective content marketing campaign can really appeal to the masses.
Hootsuite an already popular brand, is recognized globally for its social media management system.
What Hootsuite did was to release a video which was named A Game of Social Thrones.
The video gained leviathan popularity due to its timely release which coincided with the success of the melodrama series, Game of Thrones.
Hootsuite, the company, was fully aware that many potential subscribers to its services were avid viewers of Game of Thrones, hence the release of the video with a similar name.
The video achieved millions of views within a matter of a few months.
Needless to say, but we’ll say it anyway, a content marketing agency helps businesses as well as entrepreneurs to further enhance their relationship with their customer base with planned and organized content planning and content strategy.
The bottom line is that an agency will help their clients to not only connect with the target market but also to increase sales of whatever it is that the client is, well… selling.
This can be achieved in a number of ways and includes:
Gaining more traffic to a website
Achieving more leads from a website
Improving or adding to the quality of content on a website
Growing the business in order to achieve greater profits

The document discusses India raising the foreign direct investment (FDI) cap in the insurance and defence sectors from 26% to 49%. This is expected to boost investment in these sectors and increase insurance penetration and domestic defence manufacturing. However, there are also concerns about foreign control and technology transfer. The defence sector in particular may see greater investment but investors will still want management control for technology transfer, which the 49% cap does not provide. Overall the changes aim to modernize these sectors but uncertainties around rules and implementation remain.

Привет, мне хотелось бы сегодня рассказать о прототипировании для мобильных проектов. Что это дает, зачем это нужно и какие инструменты можно использовать.
Давайте кототко поговорим о тех проблемах, которые могут возникнуть, если вы не хотите прототипировать. Если у вас некому это делать и вы не хотите инвестировать в это время и средства. По крайней мере вы будете знать, чего опасаться.
Первая проблема с которой вы столкнетесь - качество интерфейсов. Чем больше усилий будет инвестировано в разработку и дизайн, тем труднее вам будет что-то менять с течением проекта. Поэтому не удивительно, что в итоге может получится продукт, вроде бы “понятный”, который как-то “работает”.
Например, такой.
Или такой.
Это те люди благодаря которым мы получаем деньги. Да, иногда нам хочется их убить или хотя бы немножко покалечить, но постоянно сообщать на что сейчас тратятся их деньги - мы обязаны. Если ваши клиенты видят результат только в середине проекта или в конце - для вас это все равно что искать клад на краю пропасти. Вот так, приблизительно.
Даже если вы работаете только над продуктами, которые вы потом продаете - обратная связь от человека, который будет принимать финальное решение или пользоваться программой критически важна.
Несколько слов о проблемах внутреннего характера. Даже если в вашей компании есть четко устоявшаяся культура написания функциональных спецификаций иногда под влиянием внешних факторов вам придется выйти за эту “зону комфорта”.
К сожалению, люди не умеют создавать ментальное поле и передавать идеи напрямую. Поэтому то, что подразумевал тот, кто писал техническое задание - может человеку, который его читает оказаться совсем не очевидно. Да, есть техники, но от ошибок не застрахован никто.
Человеческий мозг всегда упрощает, искажает и обощает информацию. Иначе мы бы утонули в хаосе. Поэтому всегда учитывайте то, что спецификацию могут плохо написать, сделать логические и технические ошибки или вообще оставить без внимания. Именно поэтому прототипирование и проектирование интерфейсов так важны.
Чтобы понять, что оно дает нужно уточнить что же это такое. Итак, прототипирование — это быстрая «черновая» реализация базовой функциональности для анализа работы системы в целом. Это канал коммуникации по которому передаются идеи и отзывы, что позволяет вносить изменения в проект еще на раннем этапе разработки.
Начать. Команда видит интерфейс приложения и если он лаконичен и эффективен, то это помогает каждому. Менеджеру легче планировать, дизайнеру создавать, программисту кодить, а клиенту представить что же это будет на самом деле. Уже на этом этапе в проект вносятся серьезные правки, затребуются многие фичи и происходят те процессы, которые обычно на более поздних стадиях превращаются в мучительную головную боль.
Помогают проверить ничего ли не забылось, весь ли функционал покрыт и нужно ли что-то еще добавить. Своей наглядностью они обеспечивают скорость, ведь когда человек сидит и визуализирует себе что-то, а потом пытается это описать, то времени у него тратится значительно больше, чем если бы он уже видел перед собой реальный интерфейс.
Чем быстрее выйдет первый релиз, тем больше шансов получить ценную ифнормацию о реальном положении дел. Даже используя прототипы в приложениях иногда возникают ошибки, которые были не очевидны. Мелкие недочеты юзабилити, осознание необходимости до-включить какую-то фичу.
Быстрые релизы и короткие итерации благоприятно влияют с психологической точки зрения как на клиентов так и на разработчиков. Как говорит Питер Друкер то, что поддается измерению - поддается управлению. Измерение прогресса равно мотивации. Клиент мотивирован платить, а команда - работать.
Что же нужно помнить и знать, чтобы создавать эффективные прототипы.
Для создания четкой структуры приложения очень удобно пользоватся mind-maps и другие схематические виды записи. ММ - инструмент использующий принцип «радиантного мышления», позволяютщим ассоциативно развивать связи отправной точкой которых является центральный объект. Такой записи позволяет диаграмме связей неограниченно расти и дополняться.
В любой момент времени человек может сосредоточить свое внимание только на одном предмете. При периодическом переключении внимания, например, с рабочей области на уведомления или рекламу, эффективность работы снижается. Поэтому важно не начинать делать дизайн не продумав максимально лаконичную структуру интерфейса.
Вот например, Xmind, кросс-платформенный редактор майнд мапов.
20 % усилий дают 80 % результата, а остальные 80 % усилий — лишь 20 % результата. Правильно выбрав минимум самых важных действий, можно быстро получить значительную часть от планируемого полного результата. Очень часто этого бывает достаточно.
Обычно пользователи привязываются к первому, изученному ими дизайну, и судят остальные по тому, насколько они на него похожи. Поэтому, если вы сделаете первый прототип слишком детальным и не удачно выберете концепцию реализации, то клиенты, могут привыкнуть к ней и отвергнуть более технически чистые и продуманные версии. *История комбанка.
Самый простой способ сделать скетч интерфейса это взять лист бумаги, карандаш и нарисовать все не придавая особого внимания мелким деталям.
Вот так это обычно выглядит.
Это очень удобно тем, что это можно делать где угодно. Такие наброски лучше всего использовать только для личных целей и потом превращать их в о что-то более масштабируемое. Мое личное мнение, что деальные рисованные прототипы - сложно воспринимать и использовать.
Предлагаю двигаться от простого к сложному, следующий интсрумент о котором я хочу вам расказать называется Mockingbird. Для чего он удобен. Например, для того, чтобы в режиме реального времени набросать скетч приложения которое вы обсуждаете. Еще можно попросить клиента визуализировать какие-то свои идеи.
Для других целей его использовать нецелесообразно по нескольким очевидным причинам
Он имеет очень ограниченный выбор графических элементов и не предполагает хоть сколько-нибудь заметный уровень детализации.
В целом это простое и доступное решение для обсуждений, быстрой фиксации идей и для того, чтобы клиент мог что-то нарисовать для вас.
В iPlotz пространства для реалзиации ваших идей уже гораздо больше. Тут и множество продуманных элементов прототипирования и специальные библиотеки для мобильных девайсов и возможность сохранить прототип в сети с последующей возможностью редактирования.
Этот инструмент также доступен через веб, однако есть опция скачивания устанавливаемой версии. Честно говоря, я ее не скачивал, но думаю, что скорее всего она реализована на Adobe Air.
В целом, очень приятная замена другим десктопным програмам выигрывающая за счет кросс-платформенности, скорости доступа к информации и достаточно широких возможностей.
Проблема в том, что этот сервис достаточно медленно работает и не позволяет использовать все графические элементы iPhone или того же Android, однако как замена догоростоящим профессиональным пакетам - вполне достойное решение. Опять же очень удобно дать попользоваться клиентам, учитывая то, что есть бесплатный план использования.
Всем известные монстры от компании Adobe.
Выглядит это приблизительно так. Если вы никогда не пользовались этими программами то у вас уйдет минимум 1-2 недели чтобы иметь возможность хоть что-то сделать в плане интерфейсов. Хотя с другой стороны при высоком уровне владения можно сделать практически все что угодно.
Так, к примеру, может выглядеть вариант прототипа реализованный в фотошопе.
Или так, вот как раз прототип того самого приложения к которому клиент потом привязался и не хотел ничего менять.
В целом эти инструменты хороши тем, что потом позволяют использовать структуру групп и слоев для реального дизайна, а также тем что фокусируясь на главном в виду скорости реализации опытные специалисты могут сделать почти все. Из минусов скорость внесения изменений, высокий порог входа и отсутствие интерактивности
Один из наиболее мощных кросс-платформенных проектов специализирующихся именно на прототипировании интерфейсов.
Выглядит приблизительно так и несмотря на неказистый внешний вид обладает рядом неоспоримых преимуществ. Сайтмап, виждеты, мастеры, ивеэнты, динамик панели и имадж мап регионы.
Вот так выглядит библиотека для айфона. Согласен, не идеальная графика и не для всех мобильных устройств такие библиотеки можно найти, однако все равно преимущества данного пакета (например, в комбинации с другим графическим редактором) - огромны.
Итак, в сухом остатке, отличный функционал. События, библиотеки, интерактивные прототипы. Из минусов необходимость работать “вторым номером” и скорость работы под Мак. К сожалению, работает под маком эта программа далеко не идеально.
Мой фаворит, которым я пользуюсь в ежедневной работе. В многом благодаря тому, что программа легкая, очень функциональная и написана специально под мак.
Обладает простым понятным интерфейсом, который при желании можно знать вообще по минимуму. Слева иерархия экранов. У каждого экрана может быть дополнительное кол-во слоев как в фотошопе. В середине рабочее поле, которое позволяет делать все что нужно для удобного прототипирования: группировка, выравнивания, порядок объектов итп.
Основная фишка этого приложения это возможность подключать внешние модули и скачивать их напрямую с сайта http://graffletopia.com / Именно это делает эту программу самой удобной из всех перечисленных. Вы сможете найти библиотеки или “stencils” почти для любой мобильной платформы, а при желании создать собственную что делается очень легко.
Если особо не подключать голову, то чисто технически такое в Omnigraffle можно сделать за 10 минут. И это правильно ведь основное время в проектировании должно уходить на мыслительный процесс и удовлетворение потребностей целевой аудитории, а не на попытки укротить сложные и загадочные инструменты.
Шаблоны, библиотеки, удобство использования, базовые элементы рисования, легкость применения стилей. Едиственный минус это не вполне реализованная интерактивность, которую я легко решаю связкой с Axure. Я пытался использовать встроенные возможности, но их реалзиация пока не идеальна, однако этот маленький минус не помешает вам получить огромное удовольствие от работы с этой программой.
Всем спасибо за внимание, если есть вопросы - задавайте.
