Posted to Really speechless about this design, Mar 11, 2015 Posted to Will these look like this in real, or is it something about the photography angle?, Mar 03, 2015 Only if you look at them from the frontfacing side will look like that. There are a few shops selling these bags here in London, at Camden Town Stables Market. Hideous design, if you ask me.
Posted to Show DN: Vote for Policies, Feb 19, 2015 At our agency, we redesigned the new Vote for policies website for the 2015 UK General Elections.
Someone posted not too long ago about ways to help your community as designers, and this might be one of them. We wanted to make a desktop-only, tedious and boring experience (reading political party policies that is) into a mobile-first, usable and valuable tool to help britons make an informed decision on who to vote depending on their policies, not the faces representing them.
I'll be glad to hear some feedback.
Cheers guys :)

It is cool, though.
Posted to Best UI/UX university courses in Europe?, Nov 14, 2014 I think you'll not find anything that specific. I can't imagine a degree teaching you just UI/UX during 3 years.
Here's a MSc on User Experience design: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/user-experience-design-msc/
Interaction design in the other hand is a degree you can get in a few places in the UK: http://www.dundee.ac.uk/study/ug/digitalinteractiondesign/http://www.lincoln.ac.uk/home/course/isgisgub/https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/study-at-northumbria/courses/interactive-media-design-ft-uufimd1/
Posted to Ask DN: SMACCS, BEM, OOCSS..what works for you?, in reply to David M , Nov 11, 2014 Hey, sorry for the late reply.
Yes, we're using BEM for naming conventions and SMACSS for maintaining and structuring the code. :)
