October 20, 2016Are you guys familiar with personality types and their potential overlay woth design? Here’s a short article: http://www.creativebloq.com/career/which-personality-types-make-best-designers-714121
It makes sense that there would be a correlation. Many artisans are SPs, SJs often have the hold on organizational skills, and intuitives thrive with ideas, possibilities, and symbolism.
Stephen Colbert was recently typed on his show, and I’d love to hear how the hosts of Deepend type! My guess – Wes: ESFP, Mikelle: ESFJ, Nick: ENTP

November 2, 2016I was fortunate to have the time to listen to this podcast today and I would just like to comment that although the cinemagraph on glendevonmotors.com looks amazing, it took my browser about 3-4 seconds to load the animation (and mind you, I have a pretty good bandwidth). Don’t you think that could potentially be detrimental than beneficial to the site? Just want to know your thoughts on this. But, hey, great episode! L)

May 23, 2018How are your thoughts about cinemagraphs now, 1.5 year later?
replyWes McDowell
May 29, 2018Great question! I still think they are a great way of grabbing attention, but they definitely have not gained the traction I thought they would have. Having said that, that might be an even stronger case for trying them out, since they really haven’t saturated the market yet.
