Elastic Media Freelance Web Design Leeds

In my early days of design, art director of Ray Gun Magazine David Carson was the guy to shamelessly copy from reference in your work. Here in this 2003 TED talk he talks about 'design, discovery and humour'. Good stuff.

With an extremely tight deadline, and built to exacting standards, elastic have assisted specialist digital marketing agency Swamp at Brahm, to deliver a fantastic new website for the UK’s leading house builder, Persimmon.

"You can do homework from now until doomsday, but you will never win fame and fortune unless you also invent big ideas. It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night."

A quote from David Ogilvy, from Ogilvy on Advertising. Arguably one of the best ad men of the 20th century, Ogilvy wrote the rules of advertising in the '50s.

Just saw for the first time Moog: A Documentary by Hans Fjellestad (2004)

"MOOG, the new documentary about Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesiser, is a portrait of the legendary figure in music and technology and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity, spirituality and his collaborations with musicians over the years."

Really interesting stuff with lots of parallels with computer interaction and design.
