Liv Design launches new creative website

-

At the start of the year we launched our brand new Liv Design website. Throughout last year we spent a lot of time collating feedback from clients, customers, suppliers and fellow members of the creative industry to see how they used our website, what they wanted to see, what they liked about the previous website, and what they didn't like. We looked at making the user experience simpler, more enjoyable, informative and direct.

We created a blog style front page to allow quick and easy browsing of news stories from Liv Design and the design industry. This gives a greater flavour of our character, what we do, and what makes us tick. This allows for more frequent updates and showcase a greater number of news stories and articles. The home page is flexible so it will fit to your screen and browser window, plus it will only load a limited number of stories until you scroll down, whereupon the page loads more articles.

There are many other improvements to our website (which now runs across all Apple and PC platforms). Without the previous animation the site loads quicker, a sad decision to make but one that means faster loading on mobile platforms and remote media. Our portfolio section is now greatly improved too, with simpler categories, more informative description text, larger images, and a scrolling format for easier and faster browsing. You can now sign up to our enewsletter direct from the website, plus you can go straight to our blog and twitter account.

We've edited the text so you can instantly find out about us, what we offer, and how we work. Succinct, minimal, usable. We hope you like it!

Let us know what you think of the new Liv Design website by filling in our simple feedback survey. We'd love to hear what you think. After all, the website is designed for you to use and enjoy!

Don't worry, this blog will continue for design finds, creative reference and musings.

The Nissan Cube – thinking outside the box

-
Image
Love it hate it, there's no denying that the Nissan Cube will certainly get you noticed on the road. With it's Manga style looks and unique asymmetrical style it's certainly a quirky design. It's been described (rather harshly) as a "fridge on wheels", a "bonsai minivan" and a "Brinks Mat van that went into a boil wash"... First launched in Japan over ten years ago, the Cube immediately achieved a cult status and was adopted by the stylish, underground and urban set - the ‘denso’, carefree in spirit, unique in mind. It was intended to appeal to young people passionate about being individual and as a lifestyle choice, more than a car. It has gained a huge cult following within the creative sector with appearances in fashion, magazines, video and commercials, and online. The Cube was even voted one of the 50 cars that changed the world by the London Design Museum. Until now the Cube was only available in the UK as an import. To ret...

Stamp of approval for great Design

-

The Royal Mail focuses again on the design industry, this time focusing on the world’s most iconic British design work of the 20th Century. The stamps were 'carefully seleced' by a panel of experts from the world of design. There are 10 special stamps: the spitfire, mini skirt, mini car, anglepoise lamp, concorde, phone box, Robin Day polyprop chair, Penguin paperback, London Underground map and the Routemaster. Looking at the ones that didn't make the final cut, it makes you proud to be involved in the UK design industry – the harrier, Britain is still a formidable force in the design industry, especially when you consider how small we are compared to the size and might of other countries. Britain still manages to create design classics today in just about every industry, from fashion to food, advertising to automotive, textiles to telecoms. Get those flags flying!
