New Adventures 2012

With our New Adventures in Web Design Workshop around the corner, we’re looking forward to spending an action-packed session exploring the benefits of a paper-driven design process with our New Adventures workshop participants in the fine city of Nottingham (where, we’re led to believe, Robin Hood lives…).

We’ll be exploring a variety of idea generation techniques - which even include the benefits of using good old-fashioned typewriters - and applying these processes in the service of a brief we’ve conjured up for the day.

We’re looking forward to working with our workshop participants and meeting conference attendees at the conference itself. If you’re around, please do introduce yourself, we’d love to make your acquaintance.

As usual we’ll be the gentlemen wearing tweed. We look forward to seeing you during the conference or, as is statistically likely, at the after party.

See you there.
