This was a test print for a trade show display I designed for International Paper’s Accent Opaque Printing Paper. Attendees could have their picture taken standing behind it and submitted online at the booth for a chance to win prizes, and for IP to gather names of designers for future promotions.

iphone/at&t baffles me with SMS vs MMS

It’s obvious at&t want you to use email to send attachments, but what I’m confused about is the complicated way they address this when a friend sends you a picture via MMS, and at&t converts the message with a URL that goes to viewmymessage.com and generates, each time, a different (and very complicated) username and password for you to input so you can view it.

It’s not so much that it sends you to a website to view, but the fact you have to toggle back and forth many times because you can’t remember this complicated user information. Since it’s automated, and since it goes directly to your phone, why not just have a link to an image. Why not assign just a single username and password. It just doesn’t make sense with all the technology at hand.

Grrr
