Hi guys
Some of you may know about MediaCityUK in Manchester, and how it is supposed to be the next big thing in the creative community, boasting cutting edge design agencies, film companies and other creative businesses. Taking that into account its aimed at people like you and I... so I am wondering what you guys think of this?

All the wonders of the internet and we find ourselves turning the pages of a book, only on screen.

Lost my interest in about 20 seconds flat. Not good!

Does the design/content come across as fresh and inspiring to you creatives?
- Nairn0
No. The content comes across as being from the turn of the millennium and the navigation is incredibly hackneyed.
Considering Manchester has a strong reputation for decent creative output in the UK, this is an awful let down.
Is this an IT/Academic-led initiative, by any chance?

ugh.

I hate to say it but that whole thing looks pretty dire. The text is illegible, the into animation is awful and everything that nairn said above is 100% accurate.
Plus I'd never heard of the first thing you mentioned in your post. That may have skewed my opinion or not, I really don't know.
One thing I do know, is that is neither fresh, nor creative.
On the other hand it is nearly Christmas, so i could only be messing around! ho ho ho!

I've given it a hearty six minutes to load and now I'm moving on. Usually I'll give it 60seconds maximum, so you are WAAAY outside my attention zone.
Oh, and... ho ho ho.

Ugh. Page flip. Dated UI.
Looks like the primary stakeholders where very linear thinkers and/or not very imaginative. "How can we display this brochure online? Hey, we'll just throw it online as a pageflip!!" rather than, "How can we display this *content* online?"
Happy holidays.

the brochure is hideous, but the main page with the vid is pretty cool

Graphics and typo look dated and incoherent, text is too small, I dont want to mess around with a zoom tool, theres too much room filled with info how the interface works but I get no info what the site is about in the first place. It‘s not very appealing...

It's very poor which is a shame as the original creative was excellent.
But they gave it to someone else and wasted the early design.
