Its copies now come with every device put on sale.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-book.jpeg\" width=\"1792\" height=\"1411\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The client<\/h2>\n<p>Raffaele is a schoolteacher-turned-toymaker. He’s especially good at crafting traditional toys and games, like spinning tops, smol carousels, and wooden acrobats. He is fascinated with color in motion.<\/p>\n<h2>Process<\/h2>\n<p>Raffaele first gave me a bunch of material: pictures, informational texts, and stories. Some things would be repeated across four different texts, but each one would have something useful of its own. I read them all and then wove them into a fluent narrative. Every now and then, I would meet Raffaele to refine the text together. I also took some disc pics myself.<\/p>\n<p>I learned a lot about book design while working on this. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The placement of punctuation and line breaks affects legibility. A line break at the wrong syllable can make a word appear to be a different one.<\/li>\n<li>Consistency in punctuation colors and weights is a science of its own!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Outcome<\/h2>\n<p>I chose a 13×18 cm format for the book so it would fit perfectly into the Giracolore’s 13.5×19 cm box. Nothing is arbitrary here: the disc on the cover is the size of a real one. I made sure each spread had at least some color.<\/p>\n<p>The imprint page and its adjacent table of contents are stunning: the gradient title, the rare NB ligature, the Italian cockade (which looks like a Giracolore disc!), the frame…<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-1.png.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>The book begins with a short introduction to the Giracolore and proceeds with spin-art’s history. Notice the alignment of the words “bellezza” on the left page:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-origini.png.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>The book then delves into color psychology:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-luscher.png\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772.3076923077\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>And culminates with stories metaphorically illustrated with the Giracolore. Here’s one of them, <i>The Little Blonde Girl<\/i>, with the parallelism principle at work:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-bambina.png.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some pages encourage to make one’s own disc and glue it in:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-tua-storia.png\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772.3076923077\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>The book ends with an invitation to take a look at Raffaele’s other projects and to contact him:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/giracolore-40.png.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>The book is set in three styles of <i>Apfel Grotesk<\/i>: Regular, Fett, and Brukt (for the “stick your disc here” label).<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The book is the best introduction to the Giracolore, vividly showing the device’s value for children, teachers, artists, storytellers, and therapists.<\/p>\n<p>Good design is never boring.<\/p>\n<h2>The client’s review<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Robert has visually arranged <i>The Journey into Color<\/i> with great success and has helped me introduce it to the public.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Robert has various qualities: his youthful energy gave me confidence to express what I felt. I had fun letting him do his thing, letting him express and interpret my ideas.

            "content_html": "<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monerodice.pro\">MoneroDice<\/a> is a dice and blackjack game site that accepts Monero. It’s simple and private; there are no accounts or KYC procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Since May 2024, I’ve been helping improve the site’s player experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/monerodice.png\" width=\"1552\" height=\"879\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Bugs<\/h2>\n<p>I started by testing the site and looking for bugs. I did find a couple, but nothing critical or worth bringing up in this post.<\/p>\n<h2>Language<\/h2>\n<p>Much of my work centered around making the site’s wording as clear as mightly.<\/p>\n<p>I transformed titles into sentence case and rewrote phrases to simplify punctuation. I removed phrases like <i>PLAY NOW<\/i> — previously used in page titles — since they gave off a cheap and scammy vibe. I made a range of corrections to the FAQ.<\/p>\n<p>“Select your odds & win multiplier” became “Choose your win multiplier & odds”. The word <i>chance<\/i> was ubiquitously replaced with <i>odds<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Verbs are the mightiest words. Thus the Feedback page’s full title “Feedback request” became “Leave feedback”.<\/p>\n<p>Multiplier symbols <big>*<\/big> and <i>x<\/i> were all transformed into the traditional (and beautiful) <big>×<\/big>.<\/p>\n<p>I also helped write a promotional text for <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptwerk.com\/company\/monerodicepro\/\">Cryptwerk<\/a>, and made a banner for it:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/monerodice-banner.png\" width=\"1500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Ease of use and player experience<\/h2>\n<p>But it’s not all about words. The user interface’s functionality matters too.<\/p>\n<p>Since 🚀 and 🗽 emojis were used to show the game mode in the <i>Recent games<\/i> table, I added them to the mode selection itself:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/monerodice-emojis.png\" width=\"584\" height=\"377\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>I flipped the order of Feedback comments to show the latest ones up-top; feedback is not a blogpost discussion.<\/p>\n<p>A good user interface forbids pointless actions. Thus, I froze a bunch of buttons in various circumstances:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the nav-menu button for the current page,<\/li>\n<li>“Copy address” and “Open in wallet” buttons when a payback address is not provided,<\/li>\n<li>Blackjack’s “Show related transactions” button when there are no transactions to show,<\/li>\n<li>Blackjack’s <big>+<\/big> button when a player does not have enough bankroll to raise the bet,<\/li>\n<li>the button for the current background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/monerodice-buttons.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"38\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I also made sure the email address in the footer became clickable.<\/p>\n<p>The other smol (but helpful) improvements, both to interface and typography, are too many to list here.<\/p>\n<h2>Blackjack<\/h2>\n<p>To lessen cognitive burden, I stopped listing buttons’ functions on their hint pop-ups. In this case, the words “Double down” no longer appear:<\/p>\n<div class=\"e2-text-picture\">\n<img src=\"https:\/\/robert.uber.space\/blog\/pictures\/monerodice-hover.png\" width=\"1036\" height=\"242\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>When disabling the computer’s voice, it no longer reacts by saying “voice disabled”.<\/p>\n<h2>MCEP suggestion<\/h2>\n<p>I also suggested MoneroDice sign the <a href=\"https:\/\/moneromaster.substack.com\/p\/mcep\">Monero Circular Economy Pledge<\/a> — it was already matching the criteria. MoneroDice is now one of the Pledge’s signatories.<\/p>\n<h2>Result<\/h2>\n<p>More people than ever are playing MoneroDice, and they are sharing their delight on Reddit, Cryptwerk, and on the site’s own Feedback page.<\/p>\n<p>Here’s the client’s review:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I’m actually quite happy from the work you have done for MoneroDice so far. I’ve made many improvements with your suggestions and advice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Communication is kept professional.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I like that you are proactive looking for things which could be improved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"loud\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monerodice.pro\">monerodice.pro<\/a><\/p>\n",
