A bold site for a dig­i­tal agen­cy that makes strong use of ty­pog­ra­phy. I like the min­i­mal head­er, and how it gives way to a port­fo­lio of pre­vi­ous work. This de­sign was fea­tured on the Friday 27th of January 2012. It falls un­der the cat­e­go­ry of Design, and has a lay­out style of Other. If you'd like, you can vis­it this site, or view all our other fea­tured de­signs.

When a user search­es Google, the ads are just as im­por­tant as the an­swers. At least that's what Google says in its an­nu­al fi­nan­cial re­port filed with the SEC this after­noon. The com­pa­ny lists new ad for­mats as one of the big things it changed in 2012: For in­stance, with vi­su­al ads, not on­ly can users find the­ater times for a new movie, users can watch the trail­er di­rect­ly in the ad. Location-aware search ads can help users find what they are look­ing for more easi­ly by putting thou­sands (...)

The de­bate over whether stream­ing mu­sic is good for artists and la­bels rages on, but the de­bate over whether the con­cept is catch­ing with con­sumers might be at least be de­cid­ed. Popular stream­ing mu­sic ser­vice Spotify now has 3 mil­lion users world­wide, the com­pa­ny re­vealed to­day. Spotify is built on a “freemi­um” busi­ness mod­el where users can lis­ten to ad-sup­port­ed mu­sic for free but after 6 months, the amount of free mu­sic drops to just 10 hours per mon­th. Ideally, the ser­vice wants to (...)

It’s time to have a chat with au­thor and free­lance mar­keter Danny Iny. He quit school at the age of fif­teen to start his first free­lance web de­sign busi­ness. The on­ly prob­lem with it was that it didn’t work. He then tried sev­er­al other busi­ness­es, con­tin­u­al­ly push­ing him­self. A lot of hard work and de­vo­tion paid off.

The so­cial net­work Twitter is fac­ing a storm of crit­i­cism from users, after re­veal­ing that it has im­ple­ment­ed a sys­tem that would let it with­hold par­tic­u­lar tweets from speci­fic coun­tries. The com­pa­ny has in­sist­ed that it will not use the gag­ging sys­tem in a blan­ket fash­ion, but would ap­ply it on a case-by-case ba­sis, as al­ready hap­pens when gov­ern­ments or or­gan­i­sa­tions com­plain about in­di­vid­u­al tweets. The new sys­tem, which can fil­ter tweets on a coun­try-by-coun­try ba­sis and has al­ready (...)

I was re­al­ly dis­ap­point­ed to see a re­cent post from some­body I ad­mire and re­spect de­fend the va­lid­i­ty of the new UX Developer job ti­tle that has been crop­ping up of late. As well as be­ing mis­lead­ing, the ti­tle, UX Developer has im­pli­ca­tions that are dam­ag­ing to the field of User Experience and will has­ten the cur­rent de­val­u­a­tion of the term. Despite what many new­com­ers to the in­dus­try may think, User Experience Design is a well-de­fined spe­cial­ism as dis­tinct from vi­su­al or in­ter­face (...)

Turmoil is all around us, old as­sump­tions no longer valid. Richard Florida deft­ly lays out the sce­nar­io for the cur­rent eco­nomic and spa­tial Great Reset. Bob Garfield out­li­nes the Chaos Scenario in tra­di­tion­al me­dia and ad­ver­tis­ing (upon which I com­ment fa­vor­ably here). Friendly, iron-fist in a vel­vet glove American lib­er­al­ism-cum-im­pe­ri­al­ism is laid to waste in Chris Hedges’ Death of the Liberal Class.
