St Brides (2)

Work by the talented Kerr|Noble presented projects for Liberty’s food (see previous link) as well as their exterior sign for the V&A Museum of Childhood, and Melrose and Morgan (typeface here.) Flawless presentation, despite being heavily on the 'we also did this'. Very nice bit of typography achieved by dropping a cup out of a window but I can't find a link to it as yet.

Morag Myerscough has some fantastic signage up her sleeve (but you won't see any of on her website, I've just looked), notably for the Barbican, and the Westminster Academy.

Max Gadney, responsible for the BBC news website did his best to explain how the site caters for the type of news their 5 million readers a day may want, and the manner in which it should be delivered.

Things turned a little heated when Suw Charman began to point out that there is a large hole in the functionality of most social networking sites like myspace and facebook resulting in some horrific layouts/colours/overlay/non-design, and wouldn't it be better for everyone concerned if one was able to make it all ‘nicer’ given the right tools. After all, the majority of people don't get taught design, so aids that lead them into choosing harmonous/complementary colours (a la Abobe's Kuler) would be a good place to start. Some of the audience felt that it would hinder free expression, and their choice to have their space looking how they wanted it, but I think they missed the point completely although I kept it to myself for fear of a wedgey. I would put a fiver on the fact that they havent seen how IllustratorCS3's live colour can actually make colour choice better and more advanced (and quicker) than previously
