The Australian Team have settled down into the finer details now so there is less excited energy and more focused concentration. The smiles are still abounding though, and fresh coffee has arrived so everyone is happy.

says Steve, the New Zealand designer, looking at the Australian homepage:
“They surely can’t be using Times New Roman in the logo?”

I’m liking how the CodeBlacks are working. There’s still that air of quiet efficiency. Zef is sitting with the clients, working through the information architecture, explaining the team’s thinking. Steve has mocked up a homepage design, waiting to show …
