“There was a time when sites launched in cycles, living from one major redesign to the next. Each new redesign would bring a whole new look, a whole new user experience. Companies would often hire new outside firms to create and execute these new designs, abandoning the firm that made the previous design. The new firms would try to top the existing design with something dramatically different and attention-grabbing. After all, if you can’t notice any change, why did it cost so much? However, the best sites have replaced this process of revolution with a new process of subtle evolution. Entire redesigns have quietly faded away with continuous improvements taking their place.”

“Representations of the world can seem more realistic than the real thing. By developing an image which can enhance memories, challenge ideas, or reinforce stereotypes, we can also change ‘real’ life. The camera has proved a remarkably powerful technology for recording interesting and sometimes disturbing images. From railways to war and foreign parts, the exotic has become familiar through photography. The remarkable photographic collections of the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television include the archive of the Daily Herald newspaper which began in 1912 and ran until the mid-1960’s. The National Railway Museum and the Science Museum also have powerful photographic collections, interesting both for their subjects and treatments. Whether through travel in the picture album or through the railway poster, we can all enjoy a sort of virtual travel across space and time.”
