Orange Poke 2008-02-19T11:30:17+00:00 Another really impressive project from those guys at Poke. Yes the Unlimited Orange page really is seemingly unlimited. It scrolls forever. Ross Phillips nominated this at the Designs of the Year exhibition currently at the Design Museum. I can see why.

I use the internet to find recipies quite a lot and until I found this site I would use the BBC's own Food section. BBC Good Food was something of a revolution when I found it, and although I have only just started to use the more advanced features it feels like it has struck a good balance between useful features where you need them, and a quick navigation (imperative when 80% of your audience are probably hungry). Its a great example of how people will be prepared to register for a service if they feel they are going to get something back in return, in this case a recipe 'binder' and the ability to comment on, submit and rate other's recipes. There are also some clever things happing behind the scenes to make the typography very palatable. As we all know internet typography is very much in its infancy and so sites like this should be commended for pushing things forward. And to finish with a cliché, bon appétit. 124 0 1 1 1 0 2010-03-06T08:10:22+00:00 13 696 http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ Radio Times Poke 2007-10-25T04:55:01+00:00 Do you remember how we were all told, a few years ago, about the wonderful idea of 'convergence'? Your tv and you computer would soon blur into on single device, with shared content, better pictures, more handsome actors and on converged tv it would always be sunny. Me too, and although it still hasn't really arrived yet (YouTube doesn't count) one thing that has changed is the notion of a tv guide. 10 years ago a 'tv guide' was a paper thing you bought every week, which told you what your tv would be doing for the next seven days. Today 'tv guide' is a button on your remote which does some of the same things, only slower. So what of the humble paper tv guide? There is still a case for combining all of a days viewing opportunities at once, and my favourite is the Radio Times site. Simple, quick, aesthetically refined. It feels rich with live information but not cluttered. Perhaps the adverts are a bit awkward, but that's probably not the designer's fault. Who needs convergence? 113 0 2 2 2 0 2010-03-09T11:22:51+00:00 13 748 http://www.radiotimes.com Sony Ericson Digit 2007-02-07T09:56:27+00:00 This Installation piece really made me sick. Digit took their brief from the fantastic best picture facility on the new phone. The installation used the actual phone to select the preferred image from the multiple displays on the booth and then have it printed out and sent to their own phone..... shit it was good. simon waterfall Poke-ma-ma 44 0 digit family 0 3 3 0 2010-03-09T22:03:28+00:00 99 747
