There's some re-branding going on...


The excellent re-branding of the BAY brand preceded the revamping of Bay's (slowish) colourful website. As is with any other website, one has to see if the site is going to be updated regularly and if radio listeners are going to follow. The new bay.com.mt also includes Abel&Elinor's new blog. There's a lot going on in their radio show and it is worth extending its lifetime by posting snippets of it online. Sadly enough, following the first post last Thursday, nothing else has been added to the blog.

The slogan for the BAY brand remains the same one, yet the trade mark features a new, fresh font which in my opinion will soon be the 'new helvetica' of mainstream design.

The Times Newspapers


Even the popular Sunday Times and The Times (daily) have lately been given a new look. The Times ran a double page spread outlining the changes on Saturday. I will below relate to you some of its contents:

Front Page: More are dedicated to news and a smaller 'navigation' area. The crest which features in both logos has been redesigned and will feature in all media.

Page 3: This will now become a content page. A 'Quick Find' section will also be added to page 3 (on Sunday) and page 2 (any other day).

Consistent Sections:
All sections, including the very useful Classified Supplement, now feature consistent headers

WEB DESIGN INDEX BY CONTENT.03, published by Pepin Press and Agile Rabbit Editions has featured website of photographer Alexandra Pace as one of the top 500+ websites from all around the globe. This book, which is a thrid in a series, has become the industry standard in tracking trends in web design. It is considered an invaluable reference for web designers.

This full screen website features an innovative video background, which changes randomly on repeat visits. This website has already received numerous awards and mentions but being featured in this publication was definately a highlight.

Incidentally, even Lab1977 have launched a new website

Business in Art [2]



From email invite:

Artistswantit will be organising the second in its series of seminars. As always, it shall be held in a very informal approach where the participants will be able to stop and question the speaker at any time.

This week's seminar will be addressed by Prof. Richard England, an architect by profession, but also an artist and owner of an art gallery. His expertise on the topic should really give the attendees an deeper insight into how to tackle their art entrepreneurially.

Gmail on Mobile is great

I recall punctuality is not learnt at Uni (University of Malta) and
hence I am currently on campus waiting for a friend who had to be here
40 minutes ago...but hey I am enjoying all this waiting thanks to
Nokia E61, the University WLAN and Google's mobile Gmail which
together are enabling me to blog.

Gmail on mobile is as simple as the online version and functions very
well on my new device. The mobile version allows access and search to
contacts and all mails...

more about this and Vodafone's WAP push email service later
