The footer, as if to warrant its physical position in life, can often be left until last during the design process, like some sort of digital outcast. To the contrary, the footer deserves so much more attention than that.

It can reinforce a brand, offer up exciting tools and just simply finish of a page in an aesthetic way. Read the rest of this entry »

After visiting the Future of Web Design last year, I thought I’d attend again this year taking my trusty sidekick Jack along for the ride this time. Once again it was a very interesting day with top-quality speakers. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s Design Week revealed a fresh new (and apparently, less expensive) identity for the DairyCo – the new name for the Milk Development Council (MDC). According to the agency behind it, the new logo is “… about promoting openness and freshness in its bright colour scheme…” though we think it bears a slight resemblance to our own ‘D’ logo – what do you think?

The BVCA (British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) today voted the Terra Firma web site, Site of the Month, April 2008. The BVCA each month highlights a web site from the private equity and venture capital industry. They went onto commend the recently published Annual Review, saying “Terra Firma’s Annual Report published earlier this month is an impressive reflection of the way buy-out houses are becoming much more open and responsive to wider audiences.”

According to leading childcare experts, ‘energetic’ and ‘imaginative’ best describe the 4-year-old. They feel good about the things they can do, show self-confidence, and are willing to try new adventures. I’d say this pretty much sums up Dusted as we reach our fourth birthday.
