In between deciding whether to pack away your winter clothes and dust off your sunglasses, here’s some articles we enjoyed this week.

The countdown to Christmas has begun (18 days at time of writing), and we’re all sat at our desks dreaming of warm fires, hot chocolate, and good tidings. Instead of daydreaming, have a gander at these interesting reads (and at least pretend to look…

Mind the what?

As we try to find our sunglasses and strip off our preemptive layers of chunky knits, we read some pretty neat things and you can too below.

Branding the Summer party 2018

Red Badger’s social value taskforce started a dialogue with Anthony Nolan, the biggest blood cancer charity. They help save the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders with the help of matching stem cell donors & supporters. James…

Last week I attended Ampersand conference in Brighton for the day. It was a real treat, lots of new ideas, lovely people and rounded off with a couple of cold beers.

This a short blog about a small job, but one that plays well to one of our guiding principles, to “Find a way”. We wanted to invite people to a day at the Wimbledon Championships, but to tell the story right we need to start at the beginning.

A brief history

Information Architecture (IA) originated from library and information sciences - it’s the study of how information is created, managed and organised.

We are very proud to be working with Pride in London on their events app to be in user's hands in time for the forthcoming festival. We've been working closely with the Pride team through workshops, regular face-to-face catch-ups and over Slack.

Every year, the UXD team at Red Badger discusses trend reports, and this year we have decided to share our own views for your reading pleasure. Our views have been formed through attending numerous conferences, meetup groups and yes, analysing and…
