Rizer
Highlighted in the Digit seminar were a selection of the websites that they have produced.
The first being www.rizer.co.uk which is a unique website service which provides information and advice for young people about the law, crime and the consequences of offending in the UK.
The Digit representative explained that Digit like to follow alternative ways of research to create their products. In this case they ran a series of workshops for kids and in their workshops they gave out a selection of flyers for music events that they had collected. The aim of this exercise was to get the kids to pick the flyers they preferred and explain why. This is how they came to have the general graphic feel of the site. Also another design decision was to include a character the takes the user through the site, this was done to humanise the product which helps the site as the speaker explained.
