Brocken Spectre Gallery

After a bumper haul of Brocken Spectres over the last few days I've put together a specific Brocken Spectre gallery.

In case you've not seen them before a Brocken Spectre is a meteorological phenomenon caused by the sun shining your shadow onto a cloud. The rainbow ring is called a Glorie.

In checking them out I found the new Irn Bru spot from the Leith, not sure if it will make it onto TV - but it sure will fly online.

95% of Web Design is...

Excellent article on Web Design and Typography from IA, a Japanese web design company.

It's one of the best articles on the subject I've read and it's already having a effect on the way I think about clients and their communication needs. Worth looking at Part 2 too.
