Here’s a few beautiful older interfaces in the form of gauges, switches and buttons that I’ve come across while undertaking some preliminary research for an upcoming project. There aren’t many interfaces in production now that reach this level of craftsmanship.

Welcome

... to Anthony's website on visual communication and design. You can contact me through Facebook, Linkdin, Coroflot or commenting directly on an article or piece of work. I currently work in user experience design in London, UK. I've been working in design since 1997 in Australia, the UAE, Japan and the UK and graduated with a Masters of Design a few years ago. I'm interested in exploring creative and innovative ways people interact and experience communication — especially when using technology. I'm also interested in the craft of graphic design; colour, grids, type and photography.

Designers should not have their own personal style, as a fine artist would. Rather, they have the ability to construct visual messages that use, in an impacting and efficient way, the visual and cultural languages of the audience, and enrich those languages in the process.
