styledeficit bits and bobs

A scrapbook for links and images I find interesting, want to share or to comment on. Broadly speaking, they're about design and media in various forms.

My name is Denise, and I'm the co-founder of b3ta and the ex-creative director & community manager of MOO.

Thanks for visiting.

Ipad stuff again

is it locking everything down or opening things up?

(I don’t know what to think. One minute I think it’s CDroms all over again, the next thing I think well, I dunno, it could be exciting. Seconds later i get bored and think ‘wait till the landgrab in this space is over and they’ve decided whose proprietary format will win’ - assuming there’ll be one.

Then I get struck with the ‘WTF are we all talking about this for?’ feeling. It’s not a new bomb. It’s not cured a disease, or hunger or housing problems. Then I think ‘well, this is your industry, more or less. It’s in your space. You started out as a magazine designer afterall, and moved into digital. Then the whole thing begins again.)
