BBC 2.0.

Date April 28th, 2006 Comment 6 Comments

The BBC are asking for your ideas in order to reboot their website. Personally, I think the current version is in no way in need of a makeover, but with prizes galore for highly-rated entries, why not give it a shot? It’ll be hard with competition like this, though.

So I just got word today that Clockwork Orange have just had their website redeveloped courtesy of Tibus after their disastrous foray into the world of eCommerce a few years back. The whole design and approach certainly disappoint.

Listen Without Effort

Date April 26th, 2006 Comment 3 Comments

Does downloading music dampen the listening experience?
A recent study commissioned by Dr Adrian North, of Leicester University’s School of Psychology, culminated with the claim that the current trend of downloading music has made people apathetic; suggesting that music is now so easily accessible that it is no longer prized, that it is a commodity rather […]

Work of Art

Date April 25th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

Gorgeously illustrated and cheekily written, “John, Paul, George & Ben” is a rare specimen; a children’s book containing intimate design and amazing wordplay.
Take this excerpt for example:
“One day his teacher, Mr. Douglas, asked the class to make birdhouses by gluing macaroni to ye olde balsa wood. Tom happily ignored him and used traditional […]

Loafroaster’s Adventures in Freelancing

Date April 25th, 2006 Comment 10 Comments

When I packed in the BBC seven months ago and began freelancing, I thought it’d be no more than a month before I tucked my tail between my legs and headed down to Grafton Recruitment. But somehow it — “it” being full-time freelancing — has worked out. Not only have I turned down three jobs […]

How C.R.A.P is Your Site Design?

Date April 19th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

Saw this today and thought is was funny, a story about how good design is based on the C.R.A.P. principle where C.R.A.P. stands for Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity, and when the boss tells you that your design is crap, they’re actually giving you positive reinforcement.
Okay, that last part was made up, sorry. “Crappy work” is […]
