When I began my web design career I didn’t do any design work. It was all programming.

Since Marc and I were three years old we have been wearing helmets (who knows why……). Helmets fueled my passion for racing (I often wonder if my blood is in fact petrol) and even when I began racing at the age of 14 I made sure that, despite my shoddy suit and 2nd hand kart, I had to have the best looking helmet. Natrually I always used to dream of being able to design my own helmet.

For the introduction of this post I’ll replay a conversation between a client and ourselves here at OBOX HQ… It went something like this:

Set the scene, it’s just after redesign number five, we’re finalizing the site, and while navigating the now totally-unlike-version-one site the Client pipes up… “Do you not think that maybe clicking around the website is a bit tedious?”

Hi Everyone, it is our first post of many for 2009. We have decided to include this video on We Are not Freelancers because we believe it applies to this sites content 100%.

Taken from From the Couch:

“We believe that 2009 will bring in a whole bunch of new and creative layouts. One of the most under used of these layouts comes from inspiration gained by looking at magazines.

Blog layouts have stagnated, it is time to push on and magazine inspired sites will soon be one of those ways.

Brace yourself, things are about to become awesome.”
