Only (Guest Lecture):
Only is a digital design company based in Leeds. Firstly, they described misconceptions about web designers:
Web designers don't need to know code.
Web designers ARE real designers.
Its not boring.
It is important.
It is a fast pace industry.

I learned from them that the primary way of interacting is branding and this can be done through images, typeface and a colour scheme.

They have worked on projects such as:
Rebranding Goldsmith's university,
Design for Europe,
Lost Village,
That's the Spirit,

and Digital Day.

I was most interested in the design side of the Lost Village project as I really like the way it is designed, the typeface and the ideas behind it. I like the idea of having a tribal background and I was impressed with the fact they had also worked with Bring Me the Horizon. The group of 4 has done really impressive work and I am interested in how they approach their projects. They also offer an internship which is also encouraging. They demonstrate that you can start a successful and growing business from as little as two people. I enjoyed the lecture very much and thought it was useful and encouraging.
