Brilliant article which goes into details regarding all the different types of data visualisation examples. Mindmaps, displaying news, displaying data, displaying connections, displaying web-sites, articles & resources, tools & services – simply genius and well worth a read.

This online application was built for the purpose of aiding customers in selecting the best phone, plan and accessories based on their own personal usage.

This is a massive honour, especially considering the competition. Thanks go to Tiina Bjork (Design), Sunil Mohan(Project Management) and Steve Brown(Technology) for their enormous effort in helping create was has been AKQA’s first foray into Rich application development and it’s most successful. Stay tuned for more application goodness in the future from the CRD department at AKQA ;o)

NikeFree Europe in the Commerce category & the Orange Phone Trainer app in the Application category.

I’m really stoked! The Orange phone trainer was AKQA’s first application project and came at a very difficult time in the Adobe product cycle, meaning it wasn’t possible for us to build it using Flex which would have been great. Despite that, I’m really happy with the way the project went. It was a great building block to some of the application-based work we’re currently doing at AKQA.

The NikeFree project was a brilliant concept carried through to delivery – even if I do say so myself! We managed to integrate some sweet video footage in with the content and there were some long, long hours spent tweaking things so they were just right. Others involved on the project at a Flash level were Dan Wood and Andy Foulds.
