Hello Digital
2008 September 19
The full site for Hello Digital (23-26 October 2008) is now up with all the event info and other gubbins you’d expect.
It’s been put together by talented localers Made Media, Maverick, Fluid & Stef Lewandowski.

What a bland & uninspired website!
I agree to the above statement. The Hello Digital website does a great job of making the exciting festival seem quite dull. I hope the promotion elsewhere is creating a buzz – shame the digital side of the promotion doesn’t. Personally, I would liked to have seen more of this stuff:

It’s also pretty hard to work out what’s going on (why is Events such a low priority nav item?) and where stuff is happening (some events are happening in the highly vague Central Birmingham)
A real disappointment in my opinion.
I didn’t attend the festival but I do like the design of the site. It was for a “digital festival” not a graphic design festival. The understated design of the site does a good job of framing and drawing attention to the content: the events. Many of these feature striking graphics which a fussy background would have distracted from.

Agreed, the nav could be better.
Wow now we have a much more detailed money map. I would love to have been at the conference just to hear the sound of mass back slapping.
Care to elaborate? You might well be on to something but I’m not quite sure what links you’re making.
“Matthew Hopkins” – classic. I might borrow that :-)
No, that’s Mary Norton – but I’m sure you will…
