Ok, a geeky one here… A couple of months back I noticed a job going for a graphic designer for Propellerhead’s Reason software.

“Tasks will include interface design of devices, interface widgets, icons and other graphical elements for our software applications as well as graphical elements for the web.”

I started thinking.. what a mental job!! Apart from being one of the most extensive and painstakingly accurate pieces of metaphorically designed software ever, it is also one of the greatest audio experiences. Designing it well is a real interface design challenge.

Well months have past, someone got the job, and a new version is on the horizon. Version 4 Looks like the designers have once again had their work cut out, cramming those tiny buttons in. I don’t think they’re recreating any more real devices now, all that’s left is to invent new ones.

Can’t wait to get my mits on this!

This is the aftermath of my surgery on my arm. It’s a week now since I’ve had it done, and to everybody always asks me - ‘does it hurt?’. The answer to that very simple question is no! The nerves that run under the skin have been severed and may not grow back!

Anyway kids, one lesson I shall teach you all is - always check for the cyclist in your mirror before you go kicking open the door…!

I can’t go into much more detail on a public blog, because I want to sue the bastard!
I’ll probably remove the image in a bit as well, its not exactly design oriented!

Awarding winning photo’s from said event can be viewed here.

Its a little odd and maybe needs some work, but looks like the future…

Spotted in the weekend papers - The East Beach Cafe at Littlehampton.

The Heatherwick studio have created a striking construction that promises to breathe some hot air back into sleepy Littlehampton when it opens later this month. The Chef is mean’t to be a bit of alright aswell, so it looks like a little road trip is on the cards this summer!

British sculptor and Turner prize nominee Richard Wilson had produced a new piece of art called in Liverpool named “Turning The Place Over.” An 8 Metre slice of a building rotates in a spectacular fashion, allowing onlookers to view the inside of the building. I love it.
