22nd March 2010

Time for the fourth of several excerpts from my @Media The Process Toolbox presentation. So far, we’ve looked at backbone, collaboration and audience. Now we can begin to refine the appropriate methodology.

Process Toolbox, part three: Audience

22nd March 2010

Here’s the third of several excerpts from my @Media The Process Toolbox presentation. As we all know, “If You Build It, they won’t necessarily come”. So, with the backbone in place, and collaboration established, it’s now time to define the audience.

Process Toolbox, part two: Collaboration

22nd March 2010

This is the second of several excerpts from The Process Toolbox that I presented at the 5th @Media conference. In this post, I want to discuss collaboration. It’s hard to think of this as a “tool”, as it is more akin to common sense and efficiency, but so much of what we do relies on it.

Process Toolbox, part one: Backbone

22nd March 2010

Last year, I presented The Process Toolbox at the 5th @Media conference at London’s South Bank Centre. Over the course of fifty minutes I detailed a number of methods that can ensure a project runs smoothly. Since then, a number of people have asked for a transcript to accompany the slides, so I’m doing just that. Here’s part one, originally posted over on Erskine Labs.

Bauhaus Ideology and the Future of Web Design

21st March 2010

What follows is a frankly massive essay in note form. These are the notes I made to justify the aims of Bauhaus Ideology and the Future of Web Design—a presentation I did for the FOWD Tour in Leeds, September 2009. Thus, there is a vast array of ideas, conclusions and speculations with regard to the future of our industry. Take it with a pinch of salt, and think of this as a conversation, and not a manifesto.

Redesigning the undesigned

25th January 2010

For two years—and with much embarrassment, I have been apologising for my undesigned blog. Well, no more shall I blush. To mark this fourth redesign and rebuild, I’ve decided to detail my inspiration, ideas, processes, type and design choices—and hopefully explain what this miscellany thing is all about.

Five Years of Quiet Revolution

13th November 2009

Nice people sometimes ask where the videos of my talks are. Well, most of my presentations have not been recorded, were screwed up during recording, are being sat on by the organisers, or were recorded in the dark without a mic.
