That Was The Week That Was – 11th May 2025
This week saw myself and Lisa head to Dusseldorf for a few days as I was speaking at Beyond Tellerrand, a wonderful design event created and run by Marc Thiele. Apparently it had been ten years since I last spoke at a Beyond Tellerrand event so I had plenty of new things to ...
Oh boy, Doom: The Dark Ages looks so damn fun!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZJI-axisl8
Good morning, @matuzo! I found a button for your collection. 😍 What do you think? 😁

Figma (Sites) creating inaccessible, non-semantic div soup? I’m not surprised at all. That’s basically the main point of the talk I just gave at #btconf. Figma is for painting beautiful pictures of websites. Not for making websites. We make websites with semantic HTML, declarative CSS, JavaScript for the things only JavaScript can do, and a bit of ARIA. That’s how this medium works. That’s the material.
I had an absolute blast designing the titles and festival identity for @beyondtellerrand.com! I digged deep into my love and early inspirations of web 1.0 / 00's design aesthetics. I channeled David Carson, DesignisKinky, k10k, Designers Republic and more to make a fun, visuallyOTT set of designs!

Weekly Roundup #012
Guten tag! I'm a few weeks late in writing a round-up, but I've had my nose to the grindstone the last few weeks getting the Beyond Tellerrand 2025 title sequence ready, and I'm very happy to say that the titles went well over in
Not only just brilliant getting to see @r8r.at again, but also honored by your write up of the event and my new talk. You picked up on so many of the themes I wanted to get across. Cheers mate! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
What an epic week! @beyondtellerrand.com was incredible (as expected), but add to that so many new friends and capped off with an all-day adventure to Acern and beyond with these two excellent gents. Ended the day with 163km/500m/6:55 and almost half of it unpaved! #cycling [contains quote post or other embedded content]
Apropos of nothing, 7am techno beats in the airport taxi is apparently a thing
Today is the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
Remembering my Grandparents who served during World War II in the Merchant Navy, Home Guard, Women's Land Army, and as a hospital Nurse.
Also remembering those forgotten by the history books: the 2.5 million South Asians (including Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims), the 1 million Africans (notably Kenyans), and the 10s of thousands of Caribbeans (notably Jamaicans).
When they fought Fascism they fought it together.
Thank you. #VEDay
Cheers Mario! Wonderful write up and SO good to see you this week! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
Recently, myself and a bunch of wonderful creatives from the world of film, TV and games spoke at @bafta.org about the skills needed for those industries, with those insights aimed at helping young people navigate their early careers. ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39SpgQx6r1w&ab_channel=YoungBAFTA
