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

-

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

The new horror novel 'Forest of Amber' by Scott Johnson

The latest novel from Scott Johnson is out now, just in time for Christmas! Forest of Amber is Scott's fourth book. What's the new novel about? 'It's a horror novel that's grounded in folklore. It's a dark psychological chiller. A couple are trying to save their relationship by going on a camping break. Things don't turn out as they'd hoped. It's an examination of human traits; the two main characters have characteristics and faults that we all have, they're troubled, they're angry, they're surviving day-to-day. It also suggests that there's no such thing as wholly good and bad, we're all a mix of good and evil. It's all a matter of perspective. One of the underlying themes that runs though the story is religion and sin. What is it? What do we do with it? Do we all carry sin and guilt irrespective of a religion or is it purely a man-made concept? The novel is an allegory for sin, punishment and forgiveness.' Amber’s life

Chinese tech giants Lenovo have teamed up with Italian motorcycle maker Ducati to launch a 'racy' new laptop at CES2020 – the Lenovo Ducati 5. Check out the product promo video . Reminds me of Destiny's Child's 'Independent Woman' video which featured Ducati's 748 motorbikes. "Ducati. A symbol of speed, performance, and innovation. The Lenovo Ducati 5 taps into that spirit. Dynamic and aesthetically engineered, it fuses pure horsepower with style and verve. From the metallic racing chassis elements, this special-edition 14" laptop is sure to ignite your passion. Start your engines." T he limited edition Ducati Lenovo 5 comes with a Ducati Corse logo and red racing stripes. The pattern on the vents is also similar to the Ducati Monster bike trellis frame. Another nice touch is the startup chime which sounds like a revving MotoGP bike. Apart from that the specs are standard: 10th gen Intel Ice Lake Core i5-1035G1 8 GB  RAM 1 TB PCIe
