Razorfish Earns Kudos in Britain
Razorfish, Inc., and Eardrum, one of the United Kingdom's sound specialists, earned several awards from the British Interactive Media Awards (BIMA) held recently in London. The two companies collaborated on a project that won the Getty Images Award for best use of design and creativity and the prestigious 'Judge's Choice' award, chosen from all other entries combined. Established in 1985, BIMA is a national trade association representing the interactive media industry in Britain. Eardrum provides creative expertise in sound, commercial production, programming, and sound design for radio, television and all new media. The challenge for Razorfish was to create a business-to-business site that would showcase the impact that audio could play within an on-line user experience. The Razorfish-Eardrum project demonstrates sound's potential as an integrated design feature aimed at encouraging creative agencies to give sound design greater consideration in web based projects. Perhaps we'll be hearing a lot more over the Internet in years to come.
