I’m inflicting the judges room with the Theme From S-Express, “I’ve got the hots for you!” “ba, bu dam, bababa doo dum” and attempting to blog through the silliness. Here’s some great new videos to keep you amused (because we all know my dorky antics won’t)…
The Aussie Team Get Started
Interviews With The Aussie Team
Introducing The Kiwis

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. Jeff asked if he should ‘jump around and shout and stuff’ like the kiwi’s did but I advised everyone to ‘hang onto their dignity’.

This just in from Kym, who is monitoring the stats for both sites. So far there have been 150 visitors from around the planet looking at the two sites, including 25 from America and a further 20 from Asia.
“Considering there is nothing there to look at I think we are going very well” says Kym.Renae (trying not to eat too much mochi on the job)
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 the clients. There’s been some discussion on the use of the Grampian’s logo, but it’s clear that the logo needs to stay. So the team is thinking of pushing a new logo for the site that would sit alongside the Grampian’s logo.
Jeffrey has already marked-up a template page. It’ll change as things progress, but it’s got the essentials there. He’s pleased how easy it is to validate at this stage! Peter and Thomas are huddled together by a flipchart, talking over content, discussing what the tone of the site needs to be.
There’s a long way to go, but this looks to be a good basis.
