    Designing for User Experience: Love Letters From the Studio

    Brio’s junior designer Clarissa fills us in on the value of User Experience Design. It’s no longer enough to start a Wix site, throw your company’s logo up, and call it a day. Simply having a web presence is no longer as important as user experience, and that’s where UX design comes in. The growing…

  • Creativity versus Your Smartphone Addiction

    Creativity versus Your Smartphone Addiction

    I recently read this post by Ogilvy’s David Long, espousing the creative benefits of using a pen and notebook over purely digital means. Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I’ve always felt my best work comes from putting pen to paper. Reading David’s first point (“digital is distracting”) I was reminded of this TED…

    iMania: Release of iPhone 6

    Even with last week’s fiasco surrounding security breach claims on iCloud, Apple still came in strong with the release of iPhone6. Fans scurried their way through stores to claim “first to try”, “first to buy” or “first to have” the newest iPhone in the market. What is it that made us really excited with the…

    homelessfonts.org

    How clever is this? This is a beautiful and moving piece of work for the homeless in Spain, turning their handwriting typically only used to write on cardboard for donations, into new fonts that can be bought online by brands and agencies around the world. The film speaks for itself, and you can buy the fonts…

It is all about safety around trains and has been extremely successful not just as a viral campaign but more importantly as a behavioural chance campaign. This is a fantastic case study around how…
