Spawned by the military, developed by academic research, driven by pornography, and used by shoppers – what can one say about the ubiquitous net that has not already been said? Its fantastic, its the future, it’s the way to go; its better than the telephone, a magazine a directory, all rolled into one; its great for shy people, for old folks, the housebound, the disabled, teenagers, business sharks, voyeurs, pornographers, pedophiles and web builders. From a designer’s view it’s a challenging mixture of disciplines – graphics, typography, images, illustrations, animation, titling, photography, computing, video – working in various combinations, spread over duration, and limited by an ever changing technology and user capability. So challenging that we haven’t really got a clue. But we are men not mice, and we reckon that for starters most websites are too busy – information overload – hard to read, or assess order, hence make selections, or too design conscious, too pretty for their own good, and do not use clicks and space (separate pages) enough, and are not planned elegantly nor efficiently. That’s what we think. Not that we know shit, as you can tell from our meagre web output. But hold on, from little cyberacorns grow big cyberoaks, then grow cyberwoods from which we can make cyber fibre heh!
