Two projects from have gone live on the word wide web this week.

Firslty Spot the Bull, read Iain’s intro here.

Secondly a site for Quinn Architects, who recently designed our new studio

Lates is a season of after-hours art and culture in London to be enjoyed at twilight, sundown or lights-out. Twelve of the capital’s top arts venues will be keeping their doors open for you to sample an exciting series of late night events. Let’s go!

Would of been useful for clients in the past, and I’m sure it still could well be in the future.

This is just a quick note, one of the greatest music resources I found over a year ago seems to have disappeared! In fact Epitonic has been gone for some weeks, but I was hoping they might be tweaking with it (or something!).

(Some related links!)

The site has had a very turbulent past when it comes to the design and usability. Originally it was a standard flat easy to use site that probably needed just a spring clean when it came to graphics. But for some reason they went overboard when it came to designing the site. It looked really fresh and new, but without doubt the most painful site to use. It just didn’t work usability wise! It goes to show that usability can make or break a site.

What happens to all the data they collated, does it just get deleted, surely they have information worth money? Surely somebody could take over the project? Why not sell or release the data? Even though it look like its gone (I so wish it wasn’t!!) it was such a resource and I wish they would bring it back.

Until that happens, you’ll find me using Last fm which I’m loving, but I prefer to have lots of resources rather than just one.

Last year I told you about Zopa, a project I worked on at Poke during the summer.

Well it has been nominated for a Webby award this year in the Bank / Bill paying category. The nomination is great news, even better, it’s in with a chance to win two awards - one awarded by the Judges and one voted by the public.

The bad news is that as it stands its not winning the ‘People’s Voice award’ , currently it’s lying joint second with 20% of the vote. So this is when I ask you kindly to find two minutes and go and register and vote Zopa, voting ends next friday, April 27th.

Please feel free to send this desperate post onto friends who you think might like the project enough to vote for it

SingleShot is a collection of 15 film and video pieces that have been shot in one single take. The project is presented in a fine one page website from BVA, which features subtle AJAX and Flash goodness, with Google maps to support the event listings. Nice work.

Well on the world wide internet anyway. Just so you know, I have been planning and researching my forthcoming holiday to California and these sites in particular have been helpful…

71 miles
Is a site the Nunz showed me at an official Poke graphics catch up a few weeks back. It’s basically a combination of a feed mash up (eg. kayak, google maps) and good editorial to give you a rich, insightful overview to various locations in Northern California.

My Google Maps
Everyone knows how great Google Maps is, now there is the ‘My Maps’ feature. It’s been very handy for me in plotting potential hotels and getting my bearings, and if I wanted to share my findings with my travel companion and everyone in the internet galaxy the option was there for me to.

DK Travel
I never told you about DK Travel did I? This is a project we did a few months ago for the travel book publishers Dorling Kindersley. As you might expect the site has a great wealth of information on various global destinations, but the clever bit is that you can create your own travel guides, that are downloadable and fit for printing at a small cost. For a far more superior / in depth overview of the project read Tom’s post here.

Alex has just opened up Bouf, a place to ‘buy and sell unusual, niche, limited-edition, rare, limited edition, cool and iconic items’. Good luck mate

We’ve just launched the Kate Moss Topshop collection microsite.

As previously mentioned I like the unexpected fruits of an image search. This is what I what I was returned when searching for spuds…
