The day that’s been on my mind for a while has now been and gone; I’ve finally taken my first ABRSM exam and have lived to tell the tale… just.
Preparation
A day off work to do some final practice and generally relax before the 3.06pm exam started. Methodically worked through all […]
“What Do You Love” was quietly released from Google over these last few days along with a nice and subtle refresh of their search engine design, the Google+ network and Google Takeout.

A short but very good presentation by German agency ‘Precious’ on how multiple screens allow for much more integrated design and interaction possibilities.
Even more interesting, however, is the question how those devices relate to each other. What does it mean for the digital products and services we are […]
What a great advert from Audi to promote their Le Mans 2011 race team. This advert has style, some excellent animation, gritty hand-drawn sketches combined with some video, and it tells a story – everything you could ask for.
Developed by BBH London and starring Allan McNish who is the Audi Le […]
I suppose it had to happen at some point… Got a cat? Got an iPad (or laptop/monitor/phone you don’t mind getting scratched up)? Then visit the Friskies Games for Cats for some apps for your cats…
