Lost in space…
The universe according to a true Londoner
Well, rather lost in Galaxy. A Tag Galaxy to be more specific. A nice new Flickr search tool from some German developers. A simple interface belies an engrossing site and slick animation touches that will have you hooked for some time.

Whats the Value of Design Computer Arts Article
So I got my magazine debut earlier this week, in none other than the Computer Arts ‘Round table’ discussion panel. The question: ‘What’s the value of a design degree? So, regardless of being the token graduate in the group (despite the fact I graduated over a year ago) I quite enjoyed my 15 minutes of fame. The only mood dampener was the fact that I felt my opinion was only taken into account as that of an ex-student, rather than a professional designer – though perhaps this was to do with the fact that I’m (1) a female, and (2) a junior in a – shock horror - (3) DIGITAL agency. I mean, come on guys, it’s a digital magazine for crying out loud, yet there were lengthy discussions about the negative effect technology has on design education and how students shouldn’t be allowed near a computer (most of which wasn’t printed for obvious reasons).

Problems with automated content
Content is king. No doubt, but content takes time to create. Good content takes even longer - most of our blog posts takes weeks in the making. One element of digital solutions that we implement for some of our clients is the ability to create content automatically using a dynamic system. This means that websites, news feeds or any other content promotion tool can pretty much run itself, but you should never underestimate the power of rules. Rules are important in setting the framework for how the content is created. Without the rules you can end up with incoherent, inaccurate or offensive content.
Let’s take a look at two recent examples where large brands have left themselves exposed.
