Hello, this is a little blurb because I am just really fed up with the lack of care given to sound design. Unlike our sight, we cannot turn off our hearing. We cannot decide what not to hear like how we can just turn our heads to avoid seeing something. While our sight is limited... Continue Reading →
As accessibility becomes a much more prevalent consideration among designers, whether it's video game designers, urban planners, software developers or UI/UX designers, they've had to be more cognizant of the human conditions of often a minority of their users.

There is much to be learned from the great thinkers of the past. Studying the thousands-years old writings of Plato, we explore what the ideal civilisation is made of and what justice is. In doing so, there are lessons uncovered that casts a different light on the state of affairs today.
