Digital Blah Blah Digital Blah Blah

The judges said

"All the judges praised the winner here for delivering a visually stunning and entertaining site which was beautifully architected. It seamlessly blended form and function to great effect, and it included excellent copywriting as a counterpoint to outstanding imagery."

Entrant’s description

A website for independent creative Adam Rix. The most important part of the brief was that Adam wanted his work to be displayed to its maximum impact but he didn’t want to compromise speed or have creative decisions impact on SEO benefits. That meant full screen images but no Flash. He also wanted the entire site to be driven by a CMS system.

The judges said

"The winner of this award is no stranger to the Big Chip Awards. Their work just keeps getting better.

This winning site is wonderfully simple, clear, understated and totally irreverent.  The agency responsible has managed to transform a format often littered with text, clipart and turgid ill considered messages into a sublime piece of visual communication

This site says everything the agency needs to say about their ability to deliver world class graphic design and precise communication. The judging panel liked it so much, they watched it three times"

Entrant's description

The self promotion website created for integrated design, digital and advertising agency LOVE. The tongue in cheek site was created entirely in the style of the ubiquitous Powerpoint presentation.
