Introducing School of Digit: A School Within a Studio

Friday, November 25th, 2011


Collective knowledge is part of what defines Digit.  We work in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams across projects and at all stages, approaching our work with equal parts vision, strategy, design intelligence and technological expertise.

There’s no doubt in our minds that the only thing better than a team that works well together is a team that truly understands and values what each member brings to the group. So we’ve decided to expand on our passion for collaboration with in-house skills sharing by launching a school-within-a-studio, School of Digit.

Based on a curriculum created by us and for us,  School of  Digit is one way the studio is actively creating a culture of informed collaboration. The school is comprised of a series of talks and workshops led by members from each of our studio teams — Strategy, Technology, Design, User Experience, Production and Finance, and will soon include outside experts who can teach us new skills.

We held our very first class this morning on Brand Strategy. Stay tuned for our school calendar, and if you’d like to attend a class, drop us a line and register.

 

Digital Life 2011

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Remember Digit’s award-winning data visualisation work for TNS’ Digital Life study last year? Well we had the pleasure of outdoing our own work by creating the website for Digital Life 2011, the biggest study ever on how the world thinks and behaves online.

Our design team approached the project differently this year, using an insight-driven and user-centric approach to showcase the study’s provocative findings. Furthermore, a unique link is created for every data permutation to increase the site’s shareability. Digital Life has also been designed for tablet and mobile users, and the site was developed using elements of HTML 5. Above all, our work shows the power of storytelling through data visualisation and delivers an interface that is both simple and intuitive.

Here’s what our Creative Director, Henry Brook, had to say about the design process:

We wanted the site to have substance; to not only deliver data but to tell a story. So we trawled through the data to look for stories while TNS married these up with insights to produce the whole package. The challenge was to combine all of this into a site that was not only relevant but interesting. We decided to go for an editorial feel; to present the content behind contentious headlines and hooks that would tap into concerns and interests.

Crack open the whisky, our new Glenmorangie site just launched!

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

We’re all jolly pleased to announce the launch of our shiny new website for Glenmorangie: Scotland’s favourite single malt whisky.

The Glenmorangie company is literally defined by the extreme lengths they go to make their whisky. From buying their own forest in Missouri in order to grow the perfect oak to traveling the world in search of the finest casks, it was these amazing stories that, through a series of films, animations, interactive elements, and good old fashioned words, we wanted to tell.

This has been a great project to work on from the moment we won the pitch back in March and, thanks to a fantastic client, we’re all very proud of the results.

DON’T MEAN TO BRAGG, BUT IN OUR TIME IS LIVE!

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the all-new,  all-improved BBC Radio 4 In Our Time website.

For the uninitiated (oh please… really?) In Our Time is a longstanding weekly programme on Radio 4, hosted by Melvyn Bragg. Billed as a discussion of the ‘History of ideas’, it is unashamedly high-brow (Logical Positivism anyone?), but nevertheless is among the BBC’s most popular podcasts.

We were charged both with redesigning the site in line with their new branding, and also making their extensive and heavily-used archive much more easily accessible.

The result is the first archive of this nature to be made available to the general public and has already proved its worth,  showing a large jump in the number of users engaging with this fantastic content.

Nothing demands action quite like a giant patchwork quilt.

M&S deliver patchwork quilt to DECC

Online met offline this week when we delivered a physical version of our COP15 campaign to the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The ‘people’s patchwork’, supporting the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, was printed out onto Oxfam clothes, stitched (somewhat laboriously) into a big quilt with our own fair hands, and handed to the powers that be at the DECC last week. It has made us feel very warm inside.

A STITCH IN TIME…

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

What have the Prince of Wales, Zac Goldsmith, and all those pretty M&S models got in common?

That’s right, they’ve all just stitched a message of support onto our ‘people’s patchwork’ – a visual message board we’ve made for M&S to support the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.

You can do your bit by creating a personal patch here

Come back soon to see us deliver a physical version of this patchwork quilt to Downing Street. And no, we’re not doing this to keep poor Gordon warm at night.

I am saying nothing

CHINA NOW

Unfortunately the CHINA NOW site has is no longer available.

Digit launched a site in 2007 for CHINA NOW – the largest festival of Chinese culture ever in the UK.

Throughout the first half of 2008, up to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, CHINA NOW coordinated some 800 events, performances and activities, shining a spotlight on the very best of modern China to forge international connections and unite and inspire communities.
