Alzheimer’s Society picks up prize

The Microsoft-led DesignIT 2007 competition has been won by an innovative concept that will help people with dementia.

The winning design, submitted by The Alzheimer’s Society, is called ‘memories are made of this’ and comes in two parts. The first is a customisable screensaver. The user will be able to upload pictures, text and video to create a personalised scrapbook on a computer. The second part is a social networking element, which will provide an easy to use way for people with dementia to talk with each other. Full story from the BBC.

About

Lee Pilmore is a web designer living and working from Leicester in the UK and is senior designer for Jadu. A smashing bunch of talented folk who create Content Management Systems. Among other things.

With a mixture of XHTML, CSS and CMS he is a web standards advocate and practitioner, helping make the path to shared and equal web enlightenment wider and smoother.

He studied fine art, then graphic design, animation and video production before moving into the web, where he’s now been for around eight years.

This hackneyed site is a place for him to post articles, tutorials and comments on stuff that he needs assistance remembering and that help, educate and inspire him.

Anything published on this blog is in no way the views of my employer, Jadu.
