Mare Street video by Digital Club:

The song takes some great quotes from famous horror books like the mysterious case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Tom proved one person and a computer could create the music and video and went on to distribute his work himself via the Internet.

Other outcomes will are often a visual audit of existing design, a competitor analysis and some exploration in to the key audiences. The mood […]

The future of web and UI design

Web designers have historically had to work within a tight set of restrictions. Computer’s were restricted to 256 colours, with only 216 consistent across Macs and PCs; Keyboards and mice were the only input devices used for navigation, and; Users generally only accessed content sitting at a desk — either at work or home with a monitor.
