First year Graphic Design students tentatively begin to engage with their peers work and start to embark upon the long rocky road that leads to perfection. Some will complete their journey but sadly many will fall by the wayside.

“Designs natural selection in its rawest form is a truly prodigious sight to behold”.

If you missed this opening episode of a 4 part series called ‘The Virtual Revolution’ on BBC2 catch it here.

Twenty years on from the invention of the World Wide Web, Dr Aleks Krotoski looks at how it is reshaping almost every aspect of our lives. Joined by some of the web’s biggest names – including the founders of Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, and the web’s inventor – she explores how far the web has lived up to its early promise.

Interesting!

iSLATE

With the launch of Apple’s latest product this week I thought it was appropriate to post this. Concept by Mr A. Bainbridge it featured in TDOD issue 6 which was sent out in PDF format before the creation of this site. Mr Bainbridge explains:

The new junior iSlate from the Apple Corporation.

“This retro model laptop is wireless, has unlimited memory and comes with an authentic oak frame finish. A radical departure for Apple, this late Victorian/early Edwardian style model bucks the trend and is “a breath of fresh air”, designed to counter Apple’s normal state of the art, smug, style conscious image. The price is expected to be a competitive 3 shillings and thr’pence.”
