I know it gets busy on the underground but I think this sign maybe a joke!
Website upgrade

I have just upgraded to wordpress 2.7, hats off to the wordpress community again as it went very smoothly. Loving the new features, also hopefully you the user should see an improved service.
I’ve also added a Mobile plug-in which should mean the site renders properly from a mobile now.

When a buttons is not a button!
Posted by Tommy on 10 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Bad design, Humor, Usability
I was recently working on a minor flash teaser trailer for some e-learning.
While playing with the flash I didn’t have sound on my machine so assumed the buttons at the bottom of the trailer were sound controls. As it wasn’t clear what they were for, I asked the supplier what they did and advised that a label along the lines of ’sound controls:’ would be required.
I received the immortal reply:
‘Not all the buttons are functional, some are purely graphical’
It beggars belief – this trailer was actually provided by a design agency!
