What came first: the spider or the web?

To grow our empires we need to start thinking about the shift from fixed websites to the apps, iPads and multi-faceted web services of the future.

"Web services?" I hear you cry. For those of you who don't know, future technology buffs are already working on making your lives easier by moving your desktop programmes into the cloud (ahem, aka online).

So, to set the scene, you take the long laborious commute to work, and damn, you forgot to hand in that article for your 9am-or-die deadline.

What do you do?

Well, at the moment, if you haven't got that document on your laptop/phone/iPad etc, then, quite frankly, you may find the return journey home comes sooner than you expected (and I don't mean a good-will-gesture 'half-day').

"It's how we've always coped, so what's different?" You might add...

Sooner rather than later, people are going to be able to access all their programmes from the cloud (and it's already happening!). Imagine, turning on your computers and hey presto what have we got ourselves? Only an easier lifestyle full of stress-free document accessibility!

So, let's embrace this new world of technology. There's only a few years left before we can start rambling "it wasn't like that in my day..."

Video killed the radio... I think not!

Here at DMD HQ I began whiling away the wee small hours with a brief Photoshop encounter...
So, inner shadows really do have a use?

To plug or to unplug, that is the question

Simplicity tends to be the secret to good icon design (as they tend to be very small).

I have used a muted colour palette of greys and whites to create these 'plug and unplug
hard drive' icons.

Butter - A snippet preview of a new website design I have been working on.

I have paid homage to the way the mixture of fonts and words can convey an air of tangibility. The rounded softness of the Cooper Black font juxtaposed with the buttery yellow colour emphasises the feel and look of butter without needing to display an image or photo.

Simplicity, nicely churned.

A font for all decades

Proving the decade of my birth is still very much alive, I have revisited the fashions of the 1980s by creating my very own techno-font. Take a look and tell me you don't miss a good old fashioned roller-disco!

Posey-Flump's Florist

Inspired by one of my favourite films and favourite person, Posey Flump's Florist is a logo design for all those whimsical romantics out there.

A dig through the Digital Mazey Design Archives

While having a dig through the DMD Archives for inspiration for a collaborative design project, I came across this little beaut! A project I designed for Gloucestershire based musicians Transit Cop.

The project consisted of a logo and CD design to be launched in high street giant HMV and across a selection of online music stores. It was tremendous fun to art direct (men + make-up = fun times) and can even remember having quite a chuckle when helping the boys out with distributing gig flyers!
