BBC Vocab offical launch
Today marks the official launch of BBC Vocab at the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff.
This smart application highlights words on a welsh language web page with the pressing of a button. When the user then hovers over these words a translation and definition for that word (including mutations) is available for the welsh learner with links to the BBC Learn Welsh site
I was involved in the design implementation and branding of this translation application. for more details, have a look at the Vocab case study in the portfolio section.
Update: BBC Vocab featured on The Register today.

I'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.
I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

Ah, you mean on the Vocab site? Big type is the way forward. Too much iddy-biddy text on the web.
Don’t be scared.
