The “Stanley Kubrick: Taming Light” website was launched last week. The exhibition runs until October 31st in the Lighthouse cinema. I was asked to design and develop the site, in keeping with Kubrick’s taste and style. (more…)

I attended the advance/ member preview of the new Science Gallery exhibit yesterday evening – ‘What If…’.  The exhibition investigates where design meets science to explore the weird, wonderful and sometimes scary possibilities for future technology. The exhibition is curated by leading London based design duo Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (www.dunneandraby.co.uk).

The project features some very visual and interesting design works, produced by twenty designers from around the world, as well as a range of thought-provoking questions. The exhibition is interesting to me on a number of levels. (more…)

Are you a user of Facebook and Twitter? Finding it difficult and/ or quite time consuming to manage your digital presence? Then why not consolidate your digital life stream by letting Twitter do all the work for you and use it as a Facebook status management tool? (more…)

Social networking is not exactly new to politics but as the web has evolved so have the strategies and tactics of political campaign teams and the online profiles of politicians. One thing that has struck me as very interesting throughout the U.S. presidential campaign this year was the overall design factor behind each candidate’s brand, graphic identity and website.

Continuing on from my last post and in an attempt to start putting some of my New Year resolutions into action, I have salvaged, updated or setup accounts for all of the below. Check them out and connect with me to say hello if you’re on them too! If I don’t know you, am not linked to you in some way or don’t know of you, I may not add you (“cheek!” says you). However, I will appreciate the thought and effort that you went to in saying hi!

I’m planning to keep all of these for professional/ industry related purposes (within reason!). In other words, you won’t find embarrasing photos of me getting drunk or on holiday (you wouldn’t find them anywhere though!). I’m using LinkedIn and Facebook for career and industry networking, I’m using Twitter for less formal networking (and as an outlet to add my two cents worth, to sometimes vent and to ‘twitter’) and Im using Flickr to display my photography.

I think that that makes me sufficiently connected!
