I wrote an article on the present and near future of design on the internet for The Bright Young, a new online journal dedicated to the exploration of modern web culture.
It’s edited by Connor Tomas O’Brien, whose articles on modern technology, culture and the written word I greatly admire. It’s also coming straight out of my home city of Adelaide, South Australia and is representative of the more vibrant creative culture emerging there.
I hope you enjoy the article, and I’d love to hear any thoughts you might have. It’s my first stab at something of this nature, so I’m sure there’s plenty of room for improvement and refinement.
A well-considered piece. My lack of understanding of some of the technicals says more about my non-engagement with the subject as part of my daily round than Ian’s style. He knows his stuff, says what he says clearly and economically, and on and off-leash produces terrific, original and commercially successful work. A great combination.
