Future Web Design Skills
This post is a version of a recent lecture. The question is “What skills and knowledge might future designers be expected to know”.
Practically output – Our working summer 2020
It has been a busy summer for us here since March 2020. Here are just some of the design-led projects that we have completed in this time. Adapted from a show and tell presentation by Anna and Sam.

[UX Design] “We are going to tell you your baby is ugly. And you are going to thank us for it.”
This rather rude quote came up in conversation & it got us thinking about how we approach UX, strategy, design and projects in general…
We are judging on the UK Digital Experience Awards
We have been lucky to be taking part in this year’s DXA awards, judging in the Best Website category, with criteria being very much about effectiveness.

True Story
Our strategy and thinking has been heavily influenced by a highly recommended book – True Story by Ty Montague.
UCL Engins
Engins, or Engineering Inspiration is, or will be a collaborative community for engineering news of all flavours. Owned, sponsored and by UCL (University College London) it is the reincarnation of The-Briefing which has run for many years.
Worcester Degree Shows
We have just helped curate and manage the Degree Show for Graphic Design at Worcester University. Check out their work on their own site for this year.

Infographics seemed to us to be one of the hot trends of last year…
Pantene ‘Make a swisssh’ hub
