This year we took the opportunity to give the Victor Hugo Music Festival a refresh. The site has been totally rebuilt in HTML 5 and this gave us the chance to make it wider and easier to use more visually appealing.

Coldplay’s Video for ‘Strawberry Swing’
July 22nd, 2009 · Ash · 1 Comment
In the video for Coldplay’s track Strawberry Swing, frontman Chris Martin becomes a superhero in a world drawn entirely in chalk. In this charming video Chris Martin goes to battle with a giant squirrel to save the girl.
The video has been promoted online but is also due to be shown in cinemas before certain films. I personally like the idea of getting to watch a music video before a film as opposed to a trailer for yet another comedy featuring Will Farrell.

iPhone 3G Unveiled
June 10th, 2008 · Paul · No Comments
The 3G iPhone was unveiled yesterday at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Apple have addressed some of the issues with the original iPhone such as the battery life which is now comparable to other 3G phones on the market with 24 hours of audio and 5 hours of 3G talk time. It also comes with integrated GPS with Google Maps live tracking but best of all it’s less than half the price of the original iPhone starting from only $199 for the 8GB version and climbing to $399 for the new 32GB version.

D.A.N.C.E and Disco
May 28th, 2008 · Adam · No Comments
I have recently seen a very wonderful music video from the band Justice. Directed, illustrated and animated by French designer So Me. The video follows two people walking through halls with animated t-shirts. The second video was a viewing recommendation from fellow Betley blogger Ash. The band is Sh*tdisco with their song Ok. The majority of the video is done using a pop-up book containing pictures of the band playing and singing, it is a great video. It uses a idea which I’m sure every young designer has been tempted to use for a project, but they execute it really well.

!Warning! Excessive Artwork
March 14th, 2008 · Ash · 1 Comment
Hot chip go further than most with the artwork for their albums. Their latest cover for ‘Made in the Dark’ has a lovely and elusive looking finish with an embossed, cracked effect for the centre circle, printed with bronze ink on top.
The previous album, The Warning, had a number of different variations of its artwork. The range of artwork for this was well connected using the same element of a block with a plank through it. There are apparently no less than 23 pieces centered around this element. I think it’s a great use of a simple element applied well to different concepts, producing a great collection of artwork.
