The Wilderness Downtown
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
I already loved Arcade Fire and their new album ‘The Suburbs‘ before I stumbled upon this brilliant interactive video by Chris Milk and I love them even more now! Incorporating the viewers own home town imagery with the Arcade Fire track ‘We Used To Wait’ playing over the top really makes the subject matter and lyrics much more relevant. Visit: http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/ to see what I’m on about.

Wonderland Magazine’s New Website
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
I can’t sleep tonight and I’ve just stumbled across Wonderland Magazine’s new website which has kept me up a bit longer. I think this site is perfect for fashion driven magazine’s like Wonderland. Although it’s not ground breaking in its layout the whole site feels very much as though it is constantly evolving and documenting an ever changing cultural environment - what a perfect reflection of the fashion industry! http://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/
Designed By Music
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
I’ve been a fan of the work created by creative agency ‘Love‘ in Manchester for quite some time. Some of the founders of ‘Love’ have now founded a new agency named: ‘Music‘. Perhaps this is one reason why I’ve really taken a liking to the work produced by ‘Music‘. Music is such a brilliant name for a creative agency when you think about it, as design like music is just another way of conveying something like an idea, feeling or emotion. I really like how music’s site works too, it’s like a big wall of design to navigate around. Take a look at their work here: www.designbymusic.com
“Because clicking is so 90’s!”

Aside from being an absolutely gorgeous site design Andreas Lutz’s website is also impressive because the user can interact with it through voice and gestures. Using your webcam you can use hand movements to navigate through his portfolio of music, site design and games. You can also use voice activation to navigate from one section to another for example by saying “music” you can be taken to the music section. This site is just really impressive, check it out!
La Roux’s ace website
Friday, August 21st, 2009
It’s three in the morning and I’ve just stumbled upon La Roux’s website, which I think is awesome by the way! I found it through http://www.waste-creative.com/ a creative agency based in London. The look and feel of La Roux’s website really reminds me of Bladerunner the movie and especially the game. For quite some time I was obsessed with that film. The amazingly seedy and grimy scenes of future city life are truely amazing. The game which was based on the movie really captured the dystopian atmosphere with excellent animated scenes painstakingly recreated from the movie with brilliant sound effects too. Anyway back to La Roux, when I think about it La Roux’s style really ties in well with Bladerunner’s 80’s perspective on the future. Everything from La Roux’s fashion styles, album artwork and even her haircut seem to be a more popy take on an 80’s view of futuristic, does that make sense? Anyway I think the main reason I like the site so much is because it really capture’s the ‘bladerunneresque’ atmosphere very well. www.laroux.co.uk

TWEEEEEEEEEEET! - twitters from top designers!
Saturday, March 21st, 2009
Here’s an interesting way to use the exciting new world of micro blogging created by twitter. This website displays twitters from a selection of top designers. I’ve found it great for picking up links to some great websites and work, as well as getting a little insight into the world of other designers. I imagine this idea would be just as useful if applied to other subjects. Visit the site here: http://www.tweeeeet.com/
