Merlin Gets 5 Star Review in Webuser Magazine

Webuser, the UK's best-selling internet magazine has given www.bbc.co.uk/merlin a glowing 5 star review. The Merlin website (a collaboration between BBC Wales New Media and Carbon Studio) was described as "a magical website... framed in a fantastic design, the rest of the site hosts character profiles, trailers, games, photos and videos, some of which can only be accessed by tracing a pattern with your mouse. It’s evident that a great deal of thought and effort has gone into this promotional tool, so let’s hope the series maintains its high standards. Truly wizard stuff."

Don't Keep The Design Secret!

Our latest website, and biggest undertaking for The BBC to date, Merlin went live this week!

The project embraced the challenge of making accessible Flash content, and is something of a flagship project for all concerned. Mike took the creative lead on this project and worked closely with BBC Wales New Media to ensure that the outcome achieved a 'Hollywood' feel. The site features a range of fantastically detailed Photoshop screens, digital illustrations and Flash animations that reflect the high production values and attention to detail of the show.
