Clients from Hell

Client: "We want something that has sort of an anarchist edge. Something crazy like Mickey Mouse with a swastika or something.”

Me: ”Are you sure your demographic is comfortable with swastikas?”

Client: ”Why wouldn’t they be?”

Clever messaging system


www.geogreeting.com

Allows you to send a message to a friends email account using purely aerial shots of buildings taken using google earth. Fantastic idea!

Conviviality


Here is an example of how people are wishing for a more personalised fashion of electronic messaging. No longer are the regular fonts in your word fontbook the touch needed, here at this website your handwriting can be copied and recreated as a font for you to write the messages in. Clever and personal but still doesn't beat the old fashioned value of a postcard or letter in the post, email will always have a cold factor due to the nature in which it is presented.

Generation D

A good example of the way music and the fans of the music are communicating as well as the impact to which this connection has now upon the artist personally not just in a generalised way anymore. Here Imogen Heap has utilised the connection she had with her fans on Twitter in the design of the dress for the acceptance of a Grammy Award. The collar used an LED light display which was connected to her Twitter site so as the fans posted their messages would be projected upon the musician at the awards.
